Anyone chirping about lacrosse is silly. It was mentioned earlier but Jim Brown is one of the best lacrosse players EVER. I know a ton of dudes that played lax and football in Ohio and the Northeast. His body type and athletic ability are perfect for both sports. I hope we get the kid but I'm not holding my breath. If he becomes a cane I'll welcome him. If not I'll move on. Its not as if the kid trolled us for months ala Keef and 6.

the whole "jim brown was the greatest lax player ever" is such an overused line. You know why he was so good? Because he would pick up the ball with his stick, and hold the stick head to his chest and basically stiff arm everyone down the field. It's why a lot of rules were created in LAX - because of JB. He was just so much bigger, stronger and faster than everyone - it wasn't because of his skill.

Anyhow, the fact that AC played LAX is great. The sport requires much more conditioning and he seems to have done well in it.

Done well in it is an overstatement, but he did improve dramatically.

I'd also like to know which of you idiots would be chirping up about lacrosse or cheerleading if he had announced us and been our only five star this year. I'll start the list here:

1) Nobody.

Generally speaking, people don't **** on those who are with them. If a guy you thought was your buddy blew a load in your mom's face you'd probably not like him so much.
 
Will the resolution to this situation be similar to the arrangement between the Dalai Lama and Carl Spackler?

I'd also like to add that there's nothing wrong with having a decent chess playing, non goon kid on your team. There's a need for both. Teammates can be positive influences too and might be more instrumental in keeping your goons clean than any coach.

And the goons might rub off on Alex a little too.

The dudes who like chicks might rub off on him too.

She isn't going to let Guntwood get over on them. I hope she hired Ironsides.

What?

Seriously. Someone this kid trusts needs to advise him to sit on this for a month and not pull any triggers any time soon. Let the dust settle. Clear his mind. That would be the best thing for him. Rash decisions are bad decisions.

If this kid ends up here, he'll be surrounded by comtroversy and I'm not sure he'll be able to handle it, considering he didn't want to be here, but I think this is why you should discuss your decision with your parents BEFORE you announce it to the world
 
While she might be bat **** crazy, this mom is doing whats right for her son's future. Its obvious that Gatewood took advantage of Collins' trust in him and influenced him to go to Wisky/Arky because Bielema would take care of Gatewood in return.

All that being said, how weak minded is this kid? Jesus Christ dude think for yourself, if you committed to Golden 4 days ago what the **** was said to him to make him change his mind so quickly? It wouldn't shock me if Gatewood gave him a huge guilt trip and begged him to announce Arkansas.

Just a ****ed up situation all around.
 
On the bright side, with Alexis heading north, this should Free Willy out of South Plantation. Not a total loss.

also the longer this lingers... I think creates the chance of ARK and Beluga being found guilty of shady recruiting...remember all the coded text messages that are supposedly illegal. I know NCAAzzeslook the other waty when it is regarding and SEC but hey it would be awesome to have ARKY/Beluga/ possibly RS nailed for shady shytt...just saying
