I could be wrong on this, so please correct me if I'm wrong:

By signing these papers with all three schools, all three schools can publicly discuss Malone.

In other words, it becomes a PR fest until early December for Malone.

My honest guess is that he only signed with UT, FSU is being a bunch of pansies. And now Fortenberry is saying all three are anticipated to save the kid's day.

Not just Fortenberry but corner36 and many others but yeah that's my guess too. Otherwise why would the FSU mod only report on UT papers being signed? He flat out said no FSU papers or any other team papers were being signed to his knowledge.

Yes PLEASE... even the last post by Ron kinda has me MORE confused


Like= who leaked this information and how is it bad for FSU?

Supposedly FSU leaked the information. It's bad for them because the Malone family told them not to do so and they did it anyway. So they've pissed off the Malone's.

Ron, can you confirm my understanding of the multiple sign situation is correct? I hate to continue with that assumption if it is wrong.

The thing is how would FSU know that he signed papers with UT unless he also signed them with FSU? If Malone really wanted it to be secret with just UT, he wouldn't have told FSU.

My guess is FSU wanted to make Malone think that UT leaked it to hurt UT's position.

ETA - It's not being reported that he signed with other schools because he asked them not to leak it, in theory. They don't want to hurt themselves.

Whats insane is signing these papers allow the schools and coaches to talk about the recruit while the process is still going on.

This is why the NCAA willl close this loophole.

Malone is a prime example.

They just opened it and the recruits will love it. I feel the players have needed this rule for a long time. Malone's family apparently plans (planned) to use the rule as intended, to protect the player's interest. It will put UT in good stead with recruiting prospects if fans support APU.

All I know is that the FSU mod posted on VQ that he was informed that Malone signed papers with UT and no one else. Corner36, someone who's very close to Malone and his family, said that FSU coaches leaked the info.

Sounds like the FSU coaching staff has screwed up royally. They pissed off the people that they didn't need to piss off!

Advantage goes to UT, IMO.

My understanding is, aside from unrestricted contact, signing these papers allow schools to publicly discuss/address the recruit... this allowing the coaches/schools to essentially PR/market the kid.

I don't know if that's true. I know the coaches have unlimited contact with the recruit after signing papers but not sure about discussing publicly.

Maybe, but that is not Josh's nor his family's style of operating. They will not allow Josh to be made a pawn like that nor will they allow him to be used in a way that swells his head.
