Coach Babers has no responsibility to make public any contact he or his NW PA recruiting coach make - if any- concerning the matter. No responsibility to be public whatsoever. And I would not. I would keep it completely confidential if any contact was made. There is no benefit for BG oe Erie to do that. If you do it, do it man to man.
Both Clawson and Coach Babers are, in my opinion, exceptionally responsible in the area of recruiting based on five years of Clawson and first few weeks of Coach Babers. For example, I am told Clawson told every single student-athlete directly to ask -at any point- where he stands w him/the staff re recruiting. If they are uncertain, ask. And they are notified of a formal offer in writing. Without it, you are not offered. Not sure how much clearer Clawson could be. Very very direct guy.
Coach Babers may have a different personality, but I think, based on all we know so far, he will be just what we need: a very able leader and a skilled top recruiter. And a very ethical one.
Go Falcons!
And with the Kingston tweet -
TWITTER: Chris Kingston (ChrisKingstonBG): "Ready 4 National Signing Day next week. Strong move 4 @CoachBabersBG 2 honor 100% of the scholarship offers from the previous HC #FirstClass"
This is OVER. FINISHED. DONE.

I agree with transfer. Kingston basically said what needed to be said when he wrote that all offers have been honored. Nothing else can be said until after signing day, so I'm not going to continue to argue that the coach needs to come out and say anything because he simply cannot say anything. Once signing day has passed, perhaps then he'll speak to this situation. Then again, perhaps Kingston has already said enough. My guess is regardless of what else is said, another Blade article will not be written.
Yeah...something is so or it is not. A coach saying something that gets printed verbatim by his local yokel reporter which then gets disseminated through internet sites is not evidence. Evidence is evidence. No letter, no offer but let's not let that stop a juicy story. It's deplorable.

It's the CEO of the programs responsibility to try to make sure the PR for the program looks good. It doesn't matter that it wasn't his fault.

I have said as much. You are the one asking whats people's problem and instigating. I said that he should handle it after he can talk about it. Then you jumped on my shizzy. Go back and read through.

I dont know why it has to be an argument. And no one said the coach wouldn't do so after the fact. I just said he should address the article and the issue.
