'24 DC OT Jordan Seaton (Future Portal Entry)

[DaddyChad]

Once again, that is not some huge difference, which it sounds like you are making it out to be. LOL.

This was a win today.

Not many people will believe that but I would rather have the spot and the lockerroom free of that ignorant, racist BS than to spend 2.3 million on him. Use that spot and that money for a better fit via the portal.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Shows how stupid he is and how he looks at the world. Don’t want someone who is that narrow minded.

Oh yeah now come the we didn’t really want him

 

[Vol_sanity]

I'm going to put on my resume that I want to help companies with leaders that look like me...Wonder how many call backs I'll get?

 

[RikidyBones]

Wait a minute. Are you saying we got outbid by Colorado?

We didn't. He committed to Colorado because deion is black and he has been convinced to define himself by his skin color. Thats it.

 

[chatt.vol]

Wait a minute. Are you saying we got outbid by Colorado?

Nope. He chose Colorado for a different reason.

 

[headhunter15]

Guessing Sanders and Colorado are preaching segregation to get people.

 

[LittleVol]

Staff can't close....

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Nope. He chose Colorado for a different reason.

Prove it. Show me where NIL had zero effect on this recruitment.

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

Any Caucasians trying to analyze and get indignant over Seaton's reasons should just take a chill pill. Deion is selling a bill of goods that none of you has to subscribe to, but it is foolish to think it does not have appeal for some.

I know ..It's hilarious..And people are to blind to see it ...Which I don't mind really , it's just the double standard..

 

[RikidyBones]

Guessing Sanders and Colorado are preaching segregation to get people.

Doing it in Boulder Colorado is the funniest part of it.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Young men have very impressionable minds. It’s a shame that was said on National TV. It’s also a shame that people of power use that against a kid to make him believe one way or another

We wouldn’t be outbid huh?

 

[reVOLution33]

He’s 18 years old

Don’t people get fired over tweets they put out when they were 12 years old now days?!?!

 

[BowlBrother85]

Wow. List out to freaking Colorado. This is beyond embarrassing.

Should Alabama and Ohio State be embarrassed as well? Considering Seaton's rationale behind his decision, what could Heupel have done differently? Go black face like Al Jolson or that guy from Soul Man? That's considered politically incorrect these days, ya know?

 

[Volfan39]

We wouldn’t be outbid huh?

They weren’t outbid bro. Seaton just wanted to be with someone that “looks like him”.

 

[BowlBrother85]

We wouldn’t be outbid huh?

His explanation for his choice, was that he wanted to play for a black coach.

 

[DaddyChad]

Had he been white and said that exact same statement on live tv, the media back lash would be unreal.

It was unnecessary and disrespectful to the other coaching staffs that recruited him.

Agree. Why wait as well and waste other people’s time and money recruiting you?

 

[TrapVol]

Prove it. Show me where NIL had zero effect on this recruitment.

We have no proof that it did or it didn’t. We do, however, have proof out of his own mouth that playing for a black coach did have to do with it. That’s all we know for certain.

The #1 offensive lineman in this recruiting cycle went somewhere else and you consider that a win?

Now maybe UT can get someone with a 5 star heart.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He blames everything on NIL.

Wasting your time

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Last comment then I don't give a sht. IF James Franklin were UTs HC and all else being equal, do you think the kid would commit here to play for someone who looks like him? I don't. Or Coach Freeman, Coach Elliott either. It's only a certain type of person that looks like him IMO.

 

[DaddyChad]

BOT is a little slow. You may need the aid of pictures to explain it to him. Perhaps a coloring book….

 

[GetEmVols]

Be nice to him on Twitter. We can snag him after he transfers

Doesn’t surprise me that’s what you got from my statement. I’m fine with missing on this five star lockerroom cancer.

This recruitment ended pretty much exactly as I thought it would. Not necessarily with him committing to Colorado, but... just really really weird finish.

Go back and read alllll his quotes. He consistently refers to himself as an excellent player, a 5 star talent, xyz. In retrospect, it really mirrors everything sanders believes about himself. Maybe it's not as weird when you start digging.

Idk. On to the next one I guess.
