Alex Collins finally signs with Arkansas

[The Franchise]

Funniest thing would be if they manage to cut the mom out and bribe the dad to sign with a bottle of Champipple. Then, the mom goes nuts to the press and blows the lid off the whole Guntwood/Bielema deal.

She outta do the latter regardless.

the ARK decision is soooo retarded and short sighted by him. really really dumb move. mind numbingly dumb

basically he wants to go there cus the coach likes to use a "featured" back. AC's fat *** coach kept harping on that in the audio interview with fat manny. AC kept parroting what his fat *** coach was saying, "yeah yeah feature back"

Which is why his mom is protecting him from himself and his coach at this point. That's what ESPN and other media outlets don't understand, and why they believe his signing with Arkansas to be imminent: They view his mom as simply having a panic attack because her baby is going away. They don't understand the situation the way Canes fans who have followed his recruitment closely do: This is a kid who was recruited to a particularly awful school by his high school coach is a grossly unethical manner, a kid who has been convinced that Arkansas is the correct place for him, due in part, to academics (lol). Something is not right, and his mom is trying to make it right. Let's hope she succeeds, but she has the world against her at this point.

Mom trying to "protect" him? Doesn't he not even live with her?

Based on a quote from his brother in a Miami Herald article today, it sounds like he does, in fact, live with her. It appears that him living with Gatewood was either a temporary situation or a rumor that got out of control.

Could this be a situation where he has to "live" in the district South Plantation is in in order to go to school (read: PLAY) there? In other words, was this recruiting by Guntwood pure and simple?

Didn't I post this live with the coach stuff to play on the team all day yesterday? You guys just now seeing it as a possibility? **** happens all the time.

The longer this drags on, the more likely we'll find out -

She's got the potential to be a hero even if I doubt her motives. I'm hoping she doesn't feel adequately remunerated and blows the lid off this thing. If they make her "happy" you'll hear nothing but flowers, puppies and paint cans.

I think we're underestimating her involvement with her son. I'm going to baselessly guess that the Cvntwood arrangement was on paper only.

Oh, and don't forget the rainbows, unicorns, and dipping dots...

What I don't get also is that his brother was interviewed yesterday and said that Alex was coming home and going straight to his room for the past few days. If that's the case, who is he living with.

Alex moved out of Guntwood's house over the summer and has been living with his family since then.

 

[Ibis Wingz]

I'm not exactly sure how credible these rumors are that his mom is not a part of his life. In the herald today his brother was speaking of how Alex would come [to his mom's] home and close his door the past few days before his Arkansas announcement. Doesn't sound like a kid living with his coach. He probably crashed on his coach's couch for a few nights while going through some ****, and it got overblown into "he lives with his coach because he has family issues."

They are not credible as he lives with her. He moved out of Guntwood's house over the summer.

Jimmy Carter is still alive and wasn't he the one who brokered the deal at Camp David?

Meanwhile, Guntwood was seen this morning digging up Anwar Sadat in an attempt to reach a peace treaty and get this deal done.

Check out this CBS Sports piece....seems to confirm his coach pushing him to AK..also falsly claims he was committed to Wisconsin at some point.

Collins committed to Miami and Wisconsin before promising his services this week to Arkansas. The last two switches obviously were because of Bielema.

The coach couldn't talk about his hoped-for prize directly until Collins signed. But Bielema did reminisce about Collins' high school coach, Doug Gatewood. The two coaches became friends a while ago. Lineman Fabian Dodd was one of Bielema's first big-time recruits at Iowa. That was back in 2001 when Gatewood was at Piper High in Sunrise, Fla.

"Doug and I built a special relationship," Bielema said.

Collins was reportedly "devastated" when Bielema left Wisconsin for Arkansas. Any school would have taken the five-star prospect with 4.45-second 40 speed. But under Bielema, tailbacks thrive. Wisconsin has produced eight consecutive years of 1,000-yard rushers, seven of them under Bielema.

How many of those great backs are currently running in the NFL?

This right here. Bielema has shown that he will run his "feature back" in to the ground by having them rush 300+ times a year. He wants to get as much out of the running back in college as he can. He could give two ***** about what they do in the NFL.

I can't wait to see what those kind of numbers do to a back rushing against the SEC defenses.

Guntwood was a temporary situation.

This right here. [Personal opinion] Any individual whom allows himself to regress into such a slob-like state doesn't seem the likely candidate to facilitate a clean and healthy environment for himself, much less someone else's child.

Whole thing is a farce. This cat recruited Collins to his H.S. and now is whoring the kid out to his "freind". "Freind" is in quotation because [Personal opinion] Beilma doesn't give a sh@t about this slob. It's been my experience that successful, healthy people usually befreind other successful, healthy people. Beilma is using this fat, nasty *** coach and this fat, nasty *** coach is using this kid. ...and so it goes...

It was not only on paper. The kid lived with Guntwood and Gunt's family for a period of time.

Biliema has to portray a good relationship with Alex's coach. Especially if a job on the staff is a possibility like rumored.

I don't understand the issue with lacrosse. Many football corches, including George Smith, want(ed) his football players to play lacrosse in the off season due to the conditioning and amount of contact involved in the game.
