    This is in regards to the Carl Moore recruiting soap opera.

    Key statements:

    "Don't expect any harsh penalties to follow. The school's investigation isn't as rigorous as it sounds."

    Other interesting negative recruiting stories on DistUrban Meyer:

    A few weeks earlier there was a story from an Internet recruiting site quoting Darryl Stonum, a Michigan recruit, on a conversation with Meyer: "He told me that he talked to Coach [Lloyd] Carr and Coach Soup [Erik Campbell] and that they told him that I would be a much better fit in the Florida offense than I would be in the one at Michigan. I thought, wow, my coaches are selling me out? I confronted them about it. I asked Coach Carr and Coach Soup about it and they said they never talked to that guy and that there was no way they ever said anything like that and that they think I should be a Wolverine. I believed them. Right then, I knew just how Florida rolled."

    "While working on "Meat Market" a few years ago, I spoke to one-time UF recruit Jevan Snead and his high school coach. They told a story about Snead getting alarmed when he saw a TV segment on Tim Tebow after noticing Meyer in attendance. Problem was, Meyer had told Snead, committed at the time, that he was the only quarterback they were going after. When Snead asked Meyer about it, Meyer responded, "We are recruiting him for linebacker."

    Liar, Liar pants on fire. :angryfire

    But if the kids are naive enough to believe this stuff, the fault is partially on them, too.

    Only problem is, this:

    "......reduced touted Trojans recruit D.J. Shoemate "to rubble."

    never happened. I don't know who Blustein was confused about but DJ did not participate in that camp. He was in attendance but in street clothes. He missed almost all of his junior year due to a leg injury. He was already a USC commit at that time so the camps were more of a risk than anything else.
