Manny_Navarro: To say Booker T. coach Tim "Ice" Harris is furious with #UM coaches is putting it lightly. Story to come.

I'm starting to think this, I mean if it was he didn't qualify academically ice would have no reason to be ****ed, or who knows, maybe (though I doubt it) the staff really did **** up the numbers

Just no way dude. We are STILL making offers. Even if they DID F*ck that up, you DONT Pull this on BTW and a local kid like this. If you are going to f*ck someone, you go back to some OOS kid from a school we seldom recruit and try to grey shirt him. You dont F*ck over a top program in our back yard and burn bridges.

There is simply NO WAY this is a numbers issue. My guess is there was some promise made of getting admissions to accept something, and they f*cked up, or they gave him some bad advice on something and admissions blocked him. There is NO way this is about numbers.

Man its not just Kirkland. If we F8cked up this situation, we could have done MAJOR damage to the relationship at BTW and with Ice Harris. If that costs us Thomas, it could put our staff in a real bad light with other kids at the school. In a game of cut throat recruiting, that can make the difference between landing a highly recruited kid, and losing them.

it means that denver was probably lying to manny. he said it was an academic issue but not test scores or grades? so what else? he was prob just covering his ***.

has to be this or b) law troubles or c) stepdad looking for a duffle bag
 
The only thing I can make sense of is if some underling on the UM staff (admissions?) dropped the ball and it ended up with Al having egg on his face.
 
What's the opposite of fapping? Repeatedly punching yourself in the ****? Papping? Either way, that's what I'm doing.

I just want to say, I'm really enjoying this meltdown. Take a step back and just read this from like page 6 till now. Epic Meltdown is Epic.
 
My take is that UM flagged something with the academics (probably something course replacement related since he said it wasn't grades or test scores), Denver let it slip that is an academic issue and Ice is doing damage control in order not to spook off other programs and get his kid into a college this coming Fall.

Booker T. coach Tim "Ice" Harris says he's stunned UM pulled scholarship from Kirkland

I don't think this isn't the type of finish UM coach Al Golden had in mind.

With less than a week before National Signing Day, the Hurricanes have pulled a scholarship offer from a top recruit at a major high school power in Miami-Dade County and angered its head coach to point in which he says he won't help the school anymore.

Booker T. Washington coach Tim "Ice" Harris said Thursday it was grossly unfair for the Hurricanes to pull their offer from All-American offensive lineman Denver Kirkland right after the team's championship parade through Overtown. Harris, who himself worked on UM's staff under Randy Shannon and whose son Brandon was a standout cornerback at UM, said he had assured UM coaches privately Kirkland had decided to sign with the Canes and was simply waiting until Signing Day to announce. But because Kirkland wasn't willing to commit before then and make the announcement public, Harris said, assistant Micheal Barrow told him the program "was moving in a different direction."

"This had nothing to do with academics and everything to do with UM doing something unfair to a local kid," Harris said. "Denver has a 2.8 GPA and has the test score.

"Coach Golden visited the school today before our parade and told Denver everything he wanted to hear. Then, a couple hours later, everything changed. I told them Denver was all set to get there for the academics. This isn't the way UM should be doing business, not with the kids in their own backyard."

Harris said Barrow asked for a private meeting following the parade and asked Kirkland flatly if he would commit. Harris said Kirkland told Barrow UM was in the top three, but he wanted to wait until Signing Day to announce.

"I just don't understand why they couldn't wait," Harris aid. "The same way [linebacker] Matthew Thomas is a big-time kid, Denver is the same big-time offensive lineman. Let the kid enjoy his moment. If they were going to do this to him, why not let him know well ahead of time so he could plan another visit. Don't come to us in the end and say you're going in another direction because of a defensive lineman."

Asked if this would affect Thomas' recruitment, Harris said: "I just look at this from a loyalty perspective. If we commit to something and show you love and tell you we're going to do something, just wait for it to happen. I've never seen anything of this magnitude. I'm not sure what this does for UM in Miami as a whole. But just look at their commitment list. Two Dade kids. That's it. I'll never tell a kid not to go somewhere, but it's tough for me to tell my kids to trust UM at this point. They don't know when an offer is going to get pulled, if they're going to do what they did to Denver today. He's an All-American. Just don't understand how they let him get out of ere. I won't stop anybody from going to UM, but I can tell you I'll never help them again."
