Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 3313744, member: 920"] That wasn't LSU football. It was another school's top-rated recruit, not someone late add for depth. If you don't have the school right, how can you know whether he was 1st sting, or 3rd string? You don't. Further, if LSU wanted one of their recruits eligible, sure, maybe the coaches would have had somebody do something, but to think the AD at LSU is getting involved in that stuff is crazy. There's no way it's worth cheating for 1 win. If he's worth one win now as a raw project, what's he worth as a redshirt senior? Do you know if Danny "definitely" wanted Springs to play this year or, you "think" he wanted him to play this year. You're talking out of your ... BS. If you can get a kid you want into the program, into the weight room, and into practice etc, you do that. You don't assume a 17 year old won't change his mind 12 months from now. You don't waste additional time continuing to recruit him. You bring him in, redshirt if needed, and move on to the next. I'll admit it probably wasn't plan A, but the thought that in between filling the football schedule and all of his other duties, AD Dave is making sure the staff is fabricating transcripts so that we can risk NCAA punishment for a kid who wasn't likely to play meaningful minutes anyway is lunacy. Strawman. People aren't as concerned as you, they see the benefit in the long run over the short term, and/or they think blaming the AD because someone decided not to cheat is strange. I don't see people "happy". I see you creating strawmen and making inconsistent assumptions about what Hurley did or didn't want to do. [/QUOTE]
