    Looking back, this post is kinda funny. Might not have been the first thing and was not public, but you almost nailed it

     

    Nothing will beat Torian Graham.

    In HS he gets recruited by schools like Kentucky. Some of these links might be dead, but the timeline is still accurate

    May 17, 2011 Commits to NC State
    August 8, 2011 Decommits from NC State
    December 2011 Re-commits to NC State, then Re-Decommits the same day
    January 2012 Transfers high school from Arlington Country Day (FL) to Creedmoor (N.C.) Christian Faith
    October 10, 2012 Signs with Chipola
    January 20, 2014 Arrested after being pulled over and ate some weed to conceal it from officers
    April 20, 2014 Signs with Houston
    November 17, 2014 Leaves Houston after playing only a few minutes in an exhibition game
    December 26, 2014 Commits to (and enrolls) at Buffalo
    June 2, 2015 Signs with ASU

    He finally played one (1) season of D1 ball at ASU for Hurley in 2016-17.

     

    Jeez I didn’t realize all that. Shame too, he was extremely talented lol

    Crystal Ball for Oats taking advantage of his connection to the MAC.

    This isn’t a surprise to me. He spent his whole collegiate career getting clapped by Oats and his offense, makes sense that he wants in

    SMU football boosters in the 80s... trying to be the best they could be for the program.

    Dave Bliss at Baylor... trying to be the best he could be for the program.

    Nevin Shapiro at Miami... trying to be the best he could be for the program.

    UNC Afro-American department... trying to be the best they could be for the program.

    I agree that it isn’t on the same level, but he was on staff for a few months and his biggest accomplishment was putting the program on probation. Forgive me for not wishing him the best.

    I you both seem like fun at parties. He was doing an amazing job recruiting, remember that every time Chanse and Josh make great plays.

    I agree with this, but the rules haven't adjusted to social media in that way. Fans can like, comment but boosters cannot. Therefore if you've never given $$ to ub athletics,  then have a blast. Again, whether we agree with it or not, now ub will have someone looking over their shoulders now because of a very poor decision by someone who is no longer there. Luckily it was caught in a quick enough timeframe.

    To be honest, I didn’t consider the booster part. I get so frustrated when I see the holier than thou mindset that I don’t think that far into it and you’re correct. However, not everyone is a booster and I feel like BB is just reporting everyone

    I don't imagine tweeting at recruits to come to UB will ever cause an issue, but concern is reasonable when:

    1.) A history of violations is cited as an aggravating factor in the NCAA's report which BrooklynBull expressed concern about.

    2.) There were people on here saying a certain assistant coach was behind one of the accounts tweeting at recruits (which is another violation)

    This is a genuine question. Say there’s a recruit, and this recruit has 10 offers. He trims his list down to 5 schools and in response to his trimmed list, fans from each of the 5 remaining schools respond to his tweet with support. Hopeful that he picks their team. It doesn’t go any further than just saying nice things to express that their school’s fan base wants that player and is excited by the thought of that player picking their school. 5 different schools having fans do this, what exactly is the NCAA going to do? It happens with every recruit and even happens with players announcing their commitments to JUCO schools. So my question, what exactly is the NCAA going to do?

    In my opinion and through personal experience and using common sense, they won’t do anything. So now say of those 5 schools on the recruits trimmed down list, 4 of them are super excited and supportive and the last one is strangely quiet. What do you think that recruit is going to think? If I was in his shoes, I would become disinterested because clearly I’m not wanted there. This is exactly what BB is doing by reporting people for something as little as being supportive

    Correct.

    Cheating recruiting coordinator and sending in fake letters as another student is gross and can't believe that behavior wasn't caught before the fake email account was made.

    but this does =/=

    All D1 teams having twitter fan accounts wishing student athletes well and to come to their school.

    I seriously can’t wrap my head around the fact that there’s people on here - GROWN ADULTS - telling on people they don’t even know because they expressed support for a possible future Bull.
    A huge part of a recruit’s decision is feeling wanted, recruiting is becoming more and more influenced by social media. These people claim to be fans but their behavior is potentially setting the program back and putting us at a disadvantage. Also as the program grows, who in their right mind would want to become a fan of a team where the culture involves being narc’d on for saying nice things to a kid to make them feel wanted? 
    It’s ridiculous and it’s being carried out by a “fan” with a superiority complex because they donate money and think because of that they’re a better fan than someone else.

    Then you wonder why BB does what he does, whether you agree with it or not, it's to help prevent this type of "stuff". Is commenting on twitter equivalent to this gross abuse? No, but it all can add up, especially when now there is a reason to keep a closer eye on the UB program. 

    Oof. No BrooklynBull is still entitled and a narc, this is something completely different and does not correlate at all

    An embargo.  People who violate embargoes are not given information in advance.  To see one at work put on CNBC tomorrow morning just before 8:30 AM.  When they announce the new claims for unemployment, they have the numbers, but sit and wait until exactly 8:30 before announcing them.

    Yup, doubt that guy gets another recruit telling him who they’re committing to

    I’m pretty sure you can tweet at him all you want. The ncaa isn’t looking at tweets from random people that say oh come to UB the wings are great. The atmosphere rocks. Just don’t go offering money or improper benefits. That’s the key. 

    Exactly. Every school in America has fans that tweet at recruits encouraging them to come to their school. The NCAA is not going to crack down on every fan from every school it just isn’t going to happen. Hopefully BB understands this. Fans are absolutely allowed to support recruits and be encouraging. Just don’t go any further than being supportive
