'20 TN DE Jay Hardy (Auburn commit)

[VolDC]

I agree with a lot of your post but you want it to stop, yet call out those that respond and not those that initiate?

How did this thread become AV oriented? Because he posted the date that we were planning for the visit? That was his "bad info" crime worthy of derailing another thread?

Just seems like wanting something to stop would include the source of it starting

I guess I wasn't clear enough then. I think the reality is everything on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt.

To deter future trolling, setups, or general time wasting, there needs to be a strong penalty for those involved.

1. Hardy should not be able to join Auburn’s program. Not this year, not as a 2021 gray shirt, and not as a 2022 Juco.
2. Auburn should forfeit the spot this cycle, with no opportunity to back count in 2021.
3. Hardy should lose one year of eligibility. Any school that takes him wouldn’t be able to play him until 2021.
4. Malzahn, Auburn’s recruiting coordinator, and/or Garner should Face recruiting limitations this cycle.

Forget about the fans. Our livelihood isn’t at stake. But our coaches, the media, and even the players that travelled to recruit him don’t need to have their time wasted by this garbage.

This, this, this. Frank doesn’t give us enough likes.

Should be some sanctions for the way this went down. I would feel the same way if Tennessee had done this as well.

As far as Hardy, this lying, POS can’t get out of the state soon enough.

When it comes to the internet, I prefer this grain of salt...

 

[DaddyChad]

Can’t wait to hear skeeter elaborate on his post about Hardy.

 

[Volfansince1980]

UT will have to self report they talked with a recruit that was signed. This might result in very small sanctions. I'm hoping we turn in our communication with Hardy and it's him boasting about accepting cash from Auburn and what goes down in the cabin.

No it won’t. If anything it shows that Auburn and the Hardy family used a faulty NCAA process to waste Tennessee’s resources in his recruitment. AP said this won’t come back on Tennessee. At this point, I would laugh if the NCAA is forced to cost Auburn a scholarship or 2 for the way they handled this recruitment

Lol! (parody account)

What did he say? Too lazy to research.

This kid can go pound sand

 

[DaddyChad]

Pretty common knowledge UT has tried to get him to wait on signing, same with bj and gilbert. Personally i think Hardy signs weds with auburn and hope that is the case for reasons i will not divulge here. Oh, Hardy was not on the UT campus Friday.

Bump

You can never be clear enough for some on here, they are going to keep debating a straw man no matter what is said, short of total compliance with their view, and even if you comply then there's the matter of your penance.

I’d like to see Hardy miss some time for his role. A lousy game or 2 when they play no one isn’t sufficient.

Oh, interesting. Pray tell Skeet...

 

[DaddyChad]

Auburn was trying to get Tennessee in hot water with this kid. It would be funny if the opposite happened.

Assuming coaches initiated contact, they will have to self report. Interesting what comes out there...

The program should be held to a higher level of accountability if a student athlete is seeking out benefits from other NCAA schools. Kid should be ineligible next year for this BS.

 

[orange parmejohn]

If the NCAA doesn’t punish Hardy for breaking a rule, then the rule is pointless to even have.

I agree, you can't be clear enough for SOME. For the rest of us though, it's just a long standing tradition for the RF. The arguments, the ongoing conversations about nothing, the hyperbole. It's all a carefully played out work of art. I joined in 2012 and it was an already established way of doing things by then.

It's what makes the RF great. Believe it or not, we are all really recruiting junkies. It's just a way of passing time and keeping the RF alive until "real things" happen in recruiting.

 

[UTMVol76]

So, all the AV hand wringing and coaches should have know BS aside, let’s put on our Lawyer/Investigator caps and look at the facts:

1. Hardy verbally committed to Auburn.
2. Media reports state that if Hardy doesn’t sign NLI in December this will be an indication that he would be a target to flip for UT.
3. ENSD passes and Hardy doesn’t appear to sign with Auburn by his and their accounts. NLI site is checked and verified that his name is not there on deadline of last day.
4. Reports are made Auburn coaches are unhappy with him not signing. (Not fact but mentioning reporting)
5. Hardy is interviewed last week when team has BB game in Knoxville and he outlined how the Vols can flip him. BTW, uses opportunity to passive aggressively slam CTR which led to hours and days of “he sucks” in here.
6. Coaches attend his BB game the other night and Hardy supposedly slips out the back. Why do coaches even go to game if they know?
7. Players and commits are still actively recruiting Hardy.
8. Price calls out Hardy and screenshot of the NLI signing appear, though no one knows when it was on the site.

My feeling is the NCAA is so scared if pending legislation on paying players that they aren't going to fight these battles. Didn't LSU's basketball coach pay a player last year and yet he is still coaching?

 

[butchna]

Yet..you don't find it especially hard to believe that our staff are incompentent idiots...interesting.

They see what they want to see.

 

[perico]

Early Signing Period needs to die. I know it would be difficult with all the early enrollees but it’s too easy to manipulate the system and falls right in bowl season when coaches have a lot more to worry about.

 

[butchna]

Props to those of us that wrote this dude off when he committed to the barn.

“I envy me.”

Yep, totally corrupt, feckless, useless organization
