I was too.
Send him packing now. Jason Phillips or Tom Mason can be our new head coach.
Not going to happen. You really think Orsini and the boosters who paid his salary didn't know this was happening back then? It didn't matter to them enough then to do anything about it, and it won't now either, I'm betting.

Better question- why is anyone subscribed to SMU Scout? You're just feeding the troll

Would you really prefer that June say to a recruit "this offer is for SMU, if I go to ASU you are out of luck as I will recruit better players than you."? If not, how would you like him to handle that conversation in a way that will endear the kid to him?
I think saying that the kid has an offer wherever the coach ends up is the best way to build the relationship with the recruit. In the case of Holloway, it worked apparently, as he ended up here.
That was not a tweet from someone else's twitter but a direct quote from her article when she interviewed Holloway yesterday just in case someone needed a clarification.
