So this dude was interviewed on a Portland station yesterday and was asked if he ever escorted recruits to LSU and he said: then when pressed by the interviewer: said we paid 6k for JUCO, California and Kansas info and that was it. I dont know what to make of it. it was a long, painful interview. hopefully amounts to nothing. but when you lie with dogs, the outcome often isn't so great. http://podcast.750thegame.com/kxtg/3002682.mp3
Doesn't sound good but nothing ground breaking. Not a direct violation for a mentor to go on a visit especially when Lache's mom was with him as well. Pretty much the same stuff he said in his interview a couple of months ago. LSU didn't gain any of the players he mentored. (Some will say Trevon Randle but he committed to LSU before he met Lyles and the Lyles stuff broke before he arrived on campus and LSU would have stopped him from reporting if has anything to worry about.) Glad he stepped up and said the PP stuff was bogus. He also said that LSU gave him materials with procedures to provide recruiting information for our records which supposedley wasn't done with his interactions with Oregon. I believe LSU sent all those documents to the NCAA already.
yeah that was the 80k part so thats a good thing. meh= teenage internet speak for whatever. Good article by whitlock gives a little insight to the model citizens involved in college recruiting. Lyles' tale shows the rat he is - College Football News | FOX Sports on MSN
It's funny when Jason Whitlock calls someone a rat or a low life, he should know his own kind I guess.
This is why I feel Oregon will not have anything major happen to them either. Lyles seems to be the type who has to make himself feel more important than he really is. Does Miles know who he is now, no doubt. Could he pick him out of all the parents and mentors that have come by campus over the years before Lyles hit the news. Maybe so but he is still just another face in the crowd. Haley had something like that happen to him. Most likely he was told to call up Lyles and see what prospects to keep an eye on while on a visit touring high schools. Haley tells him he will be headed to one of those schools and Lyles shows up. Then the HS coach kicks out Lyles while Lyles is pleading that he is there with Brick Haley. :rofl: I believe that incident occurred was before Lyles was on his own and was with a scouting service. Unless Oregon really screwed up and didn't take any precautions, the NCAA will likely determine that there isn't much they can do with this individual case and continue to add rules to prevent practices like this to happen. They have already eliminated on campus 7on7s, tweaked some rules about paying for scouting services, and I wouldn't be surprised if they added some mentor rules that will be almost impossible to monitor.
