If we were going to only sign players who picked SMU as their dream school then about 98% of the players since the DP would never have been on our roster. However this kid is completely insane to think A&M is going to offer-they are just about done and will wait for top prospects.
While I agreed with what he said PUBLICLY, do you honestly believe he's going to go on DFW radio and tell everyone what his recruiting philosophy really is? C'mon you're smarter than that. You've heard other coaches say something similar to that.

He'll be baaack.

Stallion wrote:Its based on the reputation of the staff for a long time at both Hawaii and SMU-several incidents at each school of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing in recruiting. Reinbold got sued by a Hawaii recruit who went half a year thinking he had offer which apparently June Jones never authorized.
Based on a reputation? What's the reputation based on? Give me some proof. Again, I don't know for sure that these offers AREN'T authorized by JJ but no one ever gives any specific proof or even any specific heresay. I think a lot of this talk arose because people were guessing that's what's happening & it became accepted. Please PM me if you have something specific you don't want to share.
The Reinebold lawsuit has nothing to do with this discussion: "A high school football player is suing the University of Hawai'i for allegedly revoking his scholarship offer AFTER coach June Jones' resignation." Reinebold and staff offer the kid a scholarship and McMackin (the new coach), doesn't want to honor it. It doesn't mean JJ didn't approve of the offer.
It was a reputation built on specific multiple examples that I have read on both Hawaii and SMU recruiting and football boards-some even before that Hawaii recruit sued reinbold and Hawaii. You look it up. I'm not your damn copy boy. You don't want to believe it then don't. June Jones runs a loose recruiting ship. Deal with it.

From well publicized Sports Illustrated story on Lawsuit-his reputation is earned from several of these situations-2 of which are noted here:
The KEY QUOTE:
Daniel said he never spoke to Jones, Hawaii's head coach. And while most schools require the head coach to sign off on any scholarship offer, Hawaii's assistants under Jones sometimes did offer scholarships on their own.
THE CONTEXT:
Shortly after Daniel committed, Rivals.com and the two daily newspapers in Honolulu carried stories trumpeting his commitment. Even after Daniel was cited for several alcohol violations in September stemming from a party he threw when his parents weren't home, he remained in contact with Reinebold. In monthly conversations, Daniel said, Reinebold assured him the scholarship was his.
Daniel said he never spoke to Jones, Hawaii's head coach. And while most schools require the head coach to sign off on any scholarship offer, Hawaii's assistants under Jones sometimes did offer scholarships on their own. Greg Brown, a Las Vegas personal trainer, said Miano offered his son, Corbin, a scholarship last year. Corbin, a safety from Spring Valley High, called Miano in September to commit to Hawaii.
Not long after, the Browns says Hawaii coaches stopped answering their calls and e-mails. In late October, Greg Brown received an e-mail from Miano saying Corbin should "keep his recruiting options open. "They never had the balls to call him" and say the scholarship offer had been rescinded, Greg said. Corbin eventually signed to play at Air Force.

That doesn't say he didn't authorize, just that JJ didn't give WRITTEN authorization. I get verbal authorizations from my boss all the time. JJ might run a loose recruiting ship and he might empower his guys to work autonomously, we don't know. You're guessing that he does.
LOL.
