After what alfraud did to him he's the first player I can understand and accept where he was coming from. He wasn't that way towards us. He was basically telling our coaches **** you. To be kid who always wanted to play for your local school you cheered for and have your offer pulled by the new head corch at the last second it's not an easy thing to endure. Most other people who have jumped on that trend are simply ***aloons. Him I understand. That was from the heart for him. I became friends with teddy pretty early on. He's told me this story himself.
Here’s the order of events as reported:
December 10, 2010
“Since the firing of head coach Randy Shannon at the end of the regular season, the Miami Hurricanes' already-small recruiting class has taken several big hits.
Four-star safety Albert Louis-Jean, a top-five player at his position, abandoned the 'Canes last week, and now reports have surfaced that 5-star quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, also a top-five player at his position, has decided to decommit as well.
Both prospects have made it clear that they grew hesitant about their commitments to Miami now that Shannon is out of the picture.”
December 20, 2010 as he committed to UL
“Five-star quarterback Teddy Bridgewater committed to Louisville on Monday, becoming the first five-star prospect to commit to the Cardinals this season.
Bridgewater, who originally committed to Miami, decommitted from the Hurricanes in the wake of coach Randy Shannon's firing and quickly visited Louisville along with high school teammate, three-star wide receiver Eli Rogers.
Both Bridgewater and Rodgers committed to the Cardinals together just over a week after their visit.”
Golden was hired on 12/13/2010, 7 days prior to Bridgewater committing to UL. Both Albert & Teddy said Miami was in the mix pending on the coaching hire, so what did Golden do in a 7 day window that made Teddy say Fck You & The []_[]?
If he had an issue w/ Golden, that was no reason to break The []_[] & to be frank, I’m a lil taken aback by this reasoning b/c of how hard u go for the school. So that means the now famed upside down []_[] created by UNC QB Marquis Williams is justified since he dreamt of being a Cane, but we didn’t offer him until it became apparent we would have no QBs for the 2011 class, right? I mean since he felt disrespected by Golden, it was justified for him crouch rocketing The []_[]?
Come on bro, what Teddy did deserved zero pass. If he had a problem w/ Golden, then he should’ve yelled across the field, “I did this to u Fck Boy, remember that.” But throwing up the []_[] to break it? Nah; blood was talking mad chit to the players, not staff, but players all game.
