despite all the rumors and trash talking on both sides it comes down to a young man making a decision he has to live with.Until he signs he is uncommitted. I hope he signs where his heart wants to go. If he does that he will be ok. Noone can imagine the pressure that comes with being a highly regarded recruit. Everyone in the world is pulling him. Is money involved? I do not know. I hear all the rumors.Sometimes it just needs to come down to asking yourself a very simple question....where do I really want to go to school? What is my heart telling me? CJ is a fine young man. He is smart and certainly an outstanding player with tremendous upside. He will contribute to whatever program he chooses.I just hope he can be happy doing it.

and if he posted it, I believe it. I think CJ has passed the point of no return as far as where he's going to school. His decision has been made.

There's only one reason why your strongest commit, who has been helping you recruit and constantly bad-mouthing the other school, all of a sudden does a 180 and flips to said school 2 weeks prior to signing day; and it doesn't have a damn thing to do with an assistant coach leaving. When something smells, there's a reason why.

..the pressure of working straight commission trying to support a family.

I am wondering when College Football players will go on straight commission and have to meet quotas?

in another thread, it has to be the dumbest day ever on Sixpack.

If CJ was "smart" and a "fine young man," as you say it, this thread would not exist.

I stand by my words and am in a fairly good position to know....apparently much better than you. When a young man picks a school other than our own it does not mean he isn't a good young man who is also smart.

...if you are going to lose it emotionally over Facebook posts, when Dan Mullen starts hollering at you for loafing or missing an assigment, your delicate emotional state is suddenly going to render you ineffectual as a SEC football player.

I am not the type to post rumors I heard from other people. Nor am I the guy to believe a post from somebody I do not know. From what I have heard in person from people I trust, THIS GUY TOOK MONEY.

No doubt in my mind. I do not know exactly who gave it but I do know it was taken and not only CJ. I do not care what other people say and hear. I know for myself it was done and I can't stand it. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif;"></span>

can be led down the wrong path. CJ falls into that category. He is fine with the right people and no so fine with the wrong people. But we will just agree on our own definitions!
