You would have a headache trying to figure out who he is talking about . It could be anyone and it doesn’t mean it’s about Kentucky or Arkansas .
Jayden Quaintance’s Dad’s Tweet…

I’ve softened my stance after reading what others have said, but I’d still need a little context. I don’t see a big issue with a coach or assistant reaching out. I do understand if an agent, handler, booster, etc is reaching out.
It might have been someone that already knew the situation and reached out to his son directly instead, but if he's not 18 (or ffs 16) it's inappropriate still.
Surely you realize you were a rather extreme outlier?
Shoot, nowadays many are doing well to be out of the house at 30.
I surely realize that. I have never had the pleasure of being young. Now in my early 60's I am making up for it a little...
And only sheep care about what celebrities tweet. I’d much rather read posts or tweets from people I can relate to than those I do not. And I don’t relate the kinds of people you think are allowed to tweet and be followed.
As for the thread…
I don’t see this as a red flag for the dad. Colleges try to take advantage of kids whether they’re 16, 17, or 18. Ideally, your 18 year old is mature enough to handle the process. Have you seen modern American 18 year olds? Have you seen what college does to them?
I’m all for JQ’s dad doing this. It’s not immature or a red flag to publicly defend your kid. I mean unless your U of L I guess it might be.
After what happened with Z yesterday I’m just gonna assume that anyone with a Cal connection outside Reed and Perry don’t have anything to do with us anymore.
That is amazing as Cow has not been Cal for a long while. The draft stuff is only going so far at this point even though I realize many Cal players are making bank in the nba now. it should still be easy to see that Cal is now Cow... Not the NBA draft legend-maker... (I guess it's still too soon to see...)
You would think but it’s like set in stone now and nobody questions it.
No, parents definitely need to be in their kids decision making process. Were you ready to make life changing decisions at 16? Just because kids think they are adults doesn't mean they are.
I know at 16 I had one thing on my mind and didn’t really think about my future past tomorrow. I think the father is absolutely correct.
Being part of the decision making process is different than not letting the kid decide which coaches he wants to talk to though. There is a big difference there.
