Ignoring Hamm’s douchiness for a second, did Footwork King lie to EJ?

No...EJ misinterpreted FK replied to Hamm. When Hamm posted that Shepherd and Demas would be in CS, FK responded with, "I guess they are driving themselves, huh? *emoji emoji emoji*"

EJ thought he meant that he wasn't taking them, so they weren't visiting. 

Apparently FK was actually telling Hamm to include that he was the one driving them there.

That’s how I read the fwk response. If EJ didn’t, he’s genuinely stupid.

If Jimbo has a no-visit policy for recruits, so should we. The fact that we're 5-1 and this sort of thing is still happening is bullshit.

The facebook post you're responding to says Demas is visiting Ohio State and Jimbo knows about it. No-visit policies don't have any teeth when it comes to top recruits.

Eh. I don't agree with this sentiment at all. It's easy to bluster that shit out there when aTm is paying kids again, and their handlers, who will do the dirty work of keeping kids committed for them. For us, it would just be  something that others schools found to use against us. We've made good hay being the guys who are telling kids to take time and make decisions and not play the antiquated Mack Brown bullshit. Besides, Shepherd is a head case. A no visit policy won't matter to a kid like him, he's going to do what he wants and then we're stuck looking like an idiot if we don't pull his scholly. Just like you won't see Jimbo pulling Demas's scholly for visiting us. Just like 38 different commitments never stopped Jordan Elliot from doing whatever the fuck he wanted when whatever wispy butterfly of a thought winged through his airy cranium.  I think we're playing this shit just fine.

Visiting aggy at literally the first opportunity after our win against OU is honestly enough to pull the scholarship in my eyes (and why I could never be a head coach). Waiting until December to flip is such a giant red flag, too.

Granted, this is information from Hamm, so who knows what is actually happening.

Probably. Kid seems like a flake, and aTm is 100% offering him more attention at the moment, plus his boy is committed there. The fact of the matter is that if it wasn't for the perception of it all, UT might not even be taking this kids calls or texting him right now. This is pure speculation, but if UT does get a surprise commit from any big national recruit, like a McCoy or Sanders type, you'll probably see this guy fall by the wayside in short order. Or he'll flip and we'll announce a big kid immediately thereafter.

Hamm is in bed with footwork king.  He gives him open access to his workouts with these kids.  Honestly a very weird relationship between those two.

If the kid is undecided he just needs to go ahead and go. He is a project and a character risk by a lot of accounts. Sure I would love for Texas to keep him but it’s not like he would be contributing next year anyways. He frees up another spot for us

I understood it when Hamm was at 247 and was promoting/advertising FWK's name to a huge audience.  But now that Hamm is facebooking to a half-dozen people from the storage locker he's living in - I don't get it.

I wonder if Demas basically being brothers with Shepherd has more to do with it than perception

His comment about Shepherd saying "absolutely" with confidence is the dumbest sentence I've ever read on this site. So would the tone of his article be different if Shepherd said "absolutely" sheepishly?

Posted

As confident as hammster sounds he still completely hedges his "prediction." So I call bullshit on all of it. 

Also that some random fb poster would write something out of the blue in support of hammster and his "sources." Total bullshit. Sock. hammster is an aggy bitch and remains on a descent into madness.

Totally agree. Hamm saying "60/40" odds that he flips has zero weight. I could have written that report.

Any recruit that visits aggy has the same report written after the visit, be it Looch, Perroni, Hamm, or any of their minions. I will condense it for you:

"I am told the player was blown away by what he saw. Loved the facilities. Jimbo made a huge impression on him. I feel we are in the lead to sign him on NSD regardless of his status at other schools".

When Shephard visits us again, I am sure our writers will make us all feel good about it.

I have been concerned on Shephard since about a day after we signed him when he let it be known he was still looking. At this point I don't even count on him being here until after he signs. 

Posted

So he visited yesterday, is doing an OV soon, but if he flips it won’t be until December. 

Could be Hamm is full of shit, or could be aggy playing recruiting gotcha again trying to fuck Texas over in OL recruiting by having shepherd take a spot and flip late.

Here's a Shephard piece from EJ

  Reveal hidden contents

Is it kind of a fluff piece? Yeah

But at least he's posting on a real site, has quotes from the kid, and doesn't sound like a total homer. 

 

Hamm is going to pump up this Demas/Shephard story nonstop. FWK is his only point of access. He will have nothing to report without them.

Hammster is many things, but a legit recruiting analyst is not one of them. Nor is he a business owner. What he is, is a fan with a Facebook page. He is inexplicably buddies with one trainer who is clearly and obviously pushing the limits of NCAA compliance. He is definitely an aggy booster as he has season tickets (if he can still afford them) and has made donations to his school. I sincerely hope Hamm is the one who is making the Malik Hornsby video. This is going to be the year when it finally ALL comes crashing down for Hamm. Get your jumbo popcorn ready.
