Interesting how some folks put XCNB on a higher than thou pedestal thinking he wouldn’t back channel the elite talent on the Troy team.... It sucks but reality in today’s world. Yo Saint. Even if Neal would not I am pretty sure not everyone who has CLOSE contacts to the defensive side would not necessarily refrain. Putting Neal on a pedestal? Perhaps I believe integrity was something he has and just maybe if guys want to come there and they are available who knows. Turn down a gift horse? Do I think Neal has instructed back channels to occur? No I don’t. Maybe none of us will know. If these guys show up at WVU you will think there was back channels from NB. I will think it was other wise. Not absolutely sure any of us will ever know. If they go elsewhere I am pretty sure they have been discouraged by NB because these guys are PLENTY GOOD ENOUGH for WVU Wouldn't be surprised if Marcus ends up at WV ... but would be very surprised if Tron ended up there. As someone else mentioned ... don't think Tron was going to be at Troy if Neal stayed. And again ... I wish them well!!

If a better offer is made, he will go elsewhere. Marcus? Agree.

Ocean front off of Pike Road does exist in Oregon more or less. Over looks the Pacific. How much do you want for it?

The golf course on Pike Road is about a mile from Bay City. Is your property North or South of town or out toward the golf course? It can’t be West cause that be in the ocean?

I'm curious, when will schools start picking up players from the portal? I was thinking about MJ and he did a great job for us, but he is undersized if compared to an average P5 defensive backfield. I'd love to have him back but at the same time I'm curious to where he will end up.

If you recall, when Vic Koenig arrived the second time, he brought two UNC recruits with him along with a graduate transfer. I se his footprints all over this deal.

This happens. Though DT is 100% convinced that a personality like Sumrall's would have been the best fit to keep Tron and Marcus it happens. Chipper is just not a "Id like to have a beer with that fella" kind of guy. Hes more of a "I bet hes a cop with an inferiority complex" kind of guy and that does not resonate with kids. But, maybe he will be a hellofa coach. We shall see.

Got to spend some time with Coach (The HC we don’t speak of) last week ...he visited with some old players in B'ham. Very, very personable guy!! Confident in his ability ... yet also had a humility and excited given where he came from. Very open, won the room right off! Could for sure tell that he has a passion for what he does and I think we all came away very impressed!!

Its the locker room that counts.

Its the locker room that counts. Yep ... Locker rooms and Living Rooms! ... and of course HS coaches offices!! As we went around the table and talked about where we played/lived, etc., he was naming current and former coaches and players from those schools ... very impressive. Oh, he also talked specifically about the staff ... went through how they all fit together and what they bring to the table. Can't wait to see them on the field!

This is NOT NOT NOT. A cut on (The HC we don’t speak of) but I will tell you that have been many people in my office who talk a good game or what THEY should say and yet NOT be the type they portray. TIME WILL TELL and we should give anyone that has been selected by the powers that be a chance. It will come out in the end. I just want the same guy in the living room, in the booster meeting and in the locker room and at home too! Give me a decent one who can coach and recruit this EQUALS a winner. Not LIKE HCNB but their own person complete with good and not so good points. Can you learn from when you make mistakes. Throw that one in there and you will have a coach leaving in 2-3 years and we will lament his moving on as well.

Might just not be good at pressers. Its the locker room that counts. CL was not my first choice. But I still donât get some peopleâs absolute fascination/obsession with their belief a Linebacker coach with limited experience as the second coming of Knute Rockne at Troy. Especially from folk that admit they donât know or have very limited exposure to CL and say he sucks. Alas.

Good first step.
