Is it that fucking hard to understand that a player can put their name in the transfer portal without consulting their school or enabling the school to respond? It's apparent a ton of you guys do not understand the basics of what is a pretty basic thing. 

At which point #9 would occur

So this causes USC to intervene with him before he enters the portal rather than after.

Okay.

If you're in the portal other schools can talk to you, therefore UT can refute USC's pitches and work on Bru themselves. If you're not in the portal UT can't contact you and USC can control what Bru hears. It's not that complicated.

Once a player signs with the new school they are transferring to, can the old school still contact them?

In other words, if you can get to that point without the current school knowing, at that point they can't try to stop you.

This reads like a fan fic. If these clowns know others definitely knew first.

Yeah, it all seems fictional except for the parts where I cited real world examples of parts of this happening numerous times before. And the parts where rudimentary understanding of concepts like journalism, and the Transfer Portal, and the NCAA, and program/player management are all required. 

What I walked you through is a fucking blueprint of how this happens, after tons of folks this go-round and many previously have asked the question about the roles $9.95ers play and whether or not they can do damage. If you don't understand how "breaking" a story usually means something is truly being "broken", then, fuck, there's no helping you.

Wrong. Also, it's very clear that you fail to understand the psychology around taking a leap versus being intervened with before you do so. Don't put anyone on a fucking pedestal or think of them as robots. We all make decisions based on emotion and then rationalize those decisions based on whatever logic we can find. That is literally what got this recruit into this problem in the first place.

Are you inferring James Hale isn’t a journalist? How dare you sir?

Here's how things get fucked up by $9.95ers:

1) They all wrongly continue to operate under the impression that being first with a scoop matters. It doesn't. 

2) They all fail to understand the failures in their personality make-ups and behaviors that landed them in the position of doing this kind of work for a sad living chasing 16-20 year old boys. 

3) They then, given the blindness of their own frailty, fail to see the same flaws in $9.95ers for other schools, and project a positive image onto those other folks, and trust them frequently when they shouldn't. As a result, information is exchanged.

4) Schools use $9.95ers for info and as mouthpieces. Herman's not big into the latter, dabbles in the former. Other schools use them more aggressively. Some schools, like Oregon, literally have an agent covering their team, working for both 24/7 and a sports group. Schools like Clemson and USC have fucking bagmen working for them as $9.95ers. USC literally got busted for this with Steele this year.

5) Texas $9.95ers discover something from a parent, player or handler, calling and asking a question or texting hints, or outright laying out their thoughts. $9.95er, moron that he is, thinks "holy shit, a scoop!! it's a scoop!! I'm important and my sycophantic member base is about to love me!!!!". So they start fucking hinting around that they know something.

6) Burton and Ketchum are then woken up from late morning naps and told "hey, person at IT/TFB/wherever the fuck is talking about knowing something we don't". They shout "get on it" to the Anwars and FCBs of the world.

7) Notes are compared or hints are made.

8 ) One of these rubes calls the other school's $9.95ers to compare notes. That $9.95er, with different intentions if the issue is big, gets in contact with their program to ingratiate themselves further or get paid outright for the intel.

9) Program goes to recruit/athlete/parent/handler and actively begins a diffusion campaign from  decommitting/transferring/whatever the fuck.

10) Recruit/athlete/parent/handler gets cold feet and nothing happens further. 

11) You naive fucks and the $9.95er sycophants then declare that nothing was there in the first place and go on about your business, thinking it was all a big to-do over nothing. 

It's rare for someone, even FCB, to so overtly fuck up a recruitment the way he did with Bonnito last year. Steps 1-11 are how it normally works. 

Damage control has already begun elsewhere, so barring some real resolve tomorrow, light your cigarettes, fellas, because you've already been fucked. 

As to anyone trying to dissect validity of matters around concepts like enrollment, cause for disengaging from an LOI, signing an LOI, etc., good lawyers make good claims and an org like the NCAA is a fucking coward in the face of that. If you haven't seen enough of that to believe it, that's on you to figure out. 

thanks, arthur

I'm ok with all of this no matter how it shakes out as long as no frappuccinos are harmed. 

One way or another, there will be fapping involved. Maybe a frap fap, maybe not. Maybe just me and a photo of Gisele. It wouldn't be the same, though.

since there's nothing else to do, let's play "best case scenario" and pretend that bru wants out and wants to come to texas and there's no talking him out of it.  

now what?

what do the rules say in regards to the speed and eligibility of him enrolling/practicing/suiting up at texas?  could he be in school by the fall (when most college freshman report)?  or the summer even?  would he have to sit out a year per transfer rules, or could the kk situation get him an immediate transfer to be eligible by this fall?

i know none of this is actually happening, blah blah, but please indulge me, assuming you know the rules better than me (which should cover almost everyone).

No one knows, is the short answer. The transfer portal is a brave new world of backchannels and lawyering for immediate playing time.

My favorite part of this thread in a while is when @closetojumping completely made me rethink my very high opinion of the $9.95ers and made me realize that they are  actually selfishly motivated.  Now I can just stop thinking I should be sending them $9.95 each month (instead of reading it here for free) and this problem will not occur in the future.  I’ve realized that I’m actually part of the problem, if not the entire problem.
