According to SMU86 it was not during dead period. Can someone confirm this?
I think both 86 and Stallion referenced an earlier article on Scout that indicated the visit was not during the dead period. I was not aware of that other article at the time, so I apologize for perpetuating a myth.

There has been some talk in the past that Scout had been temporarily banned from practice. I wonder whether E.J. has become oppositional with the coaching staff because he's gotten crossways with June over some perceived slight (e.g. being banned from practice), or if it's as simple as bashing SMU is a career builder (a la Dale Hansen). I don't know him personally. But in either case, it effects his objectivity.
Maybe PonyPride will be willing to follow-up and get SMU's side of the story. If this is true, it won't be the first time we have handled recruits poorly. But usually, there's more to it.

We all know that casper no-nuts doesn't have permission or authority to do anything other than call 'daddy rgt' to ask what should be done. A winning attitude starts at the top and 'we ain't got it'.

During Temple game week?
Temple definitely wasn't during a dead period.
Maybe JJ and his staff confused the Temple game weekend as a "High Holy" weekend, and as such, couldn't recruit or use machinery/electronic devices. Shalom My Unbelievers.

That was Josh not EJ. He and his staff have been allowed to all practices and they had practice reports all season from every practice. I confirmed all this with EJ.

Does anyone know when it was? Actual date I mean. And the manner in which his visit was made public? Or were the coaches expected to feel a disturbance in the force?

Trying to scratch and scrape for any excuse possible. I understand. LOL.
It's called giving someone a fair shake. Or in other circles, getting your facts straight before making damning accusations. This method does tend to slow down the merry lynching now and again though.
