Crappy thing to do to this kid.

Reading the link and the 'comments', I'm getting a bit tired of the 'they are just kids' argument that paints the coaches with the black brush. These kids (who are in no way babes in the woods with no adult 'guidance' around them) are doing their best to game the system, and when they get burned they need to take it like adults.

notanative I agree, there are both good and bad kids and coaches.

I agree that there are good and bad kids and that some kids play the system. This kid does not appear to have done anything wrong. I think that he got screwed.

If the kid held up his end with his commitment, grades, and on-field performance, then it's just wrong to pull his offer two weeks before signing day.

That's a bad place to be banned............four and five stars all over the yard. Huge fuckup Mike.

This has zero to do with "kids", what Leach did was immoral on any level. Shame on him.
That tactic should cost him even more players in the future and I predict a short tenure with him and soon to be seen at Middle East LA Tech in the future.
I used to like Leach, but maybe the rumors are true. He's a bad guy

Leach has always been a douchebag. His schtick got old years ago. No surprise here.

Does anyone know if he pulled this at tech?

Mike Leach is a piece of dung. Always has been. Always will be. He was a perfect fit at Tech.

We only know 1 side of the story, and probably don't know the whole side of it.
