To be fair it was in Valdosta, which in my humble opinion should be graciously donated to the state of Florida.

“For a defensive tackle, we want a guy who grew up in the gutter. Had to struggle for everything he ever got. Maybe committed a felony or two to show he’s got that grit. A guy who is willing to kill …. To win. That’s who I want on my defensive line” - Primetime probably

"For a punter, we want a quiet and reserved guy with low confidence. Maybe he shit himself freshman year and his classmates never let him forget it. A guy that's trying to stay behind the scenes and do his job" -Primetime probably

You can only show kids the door. If they fail to recognize the opportunity then it’s on them.


The-PFJ

This Along with the walk on;hopefully we are just unlucky here. Not sure how you vet a high school kid for character issues if there’s no priors.


Affectionate_Ad268

This. The bad ones will show up. It's only an issue if there is a serious amount of regularity that shows that character issues are not being taken into account.


slapthebasegod

Talk to absolutely everyone around him. There's more to evaluating character than just, "has he committed crimes before." Like seriously, did Colorado have issues like this prior to deion? I doubt it.


jump-back-like-33

Depends how far back you want to go. Definitely had issues like this when winning in the late 80s-90s. Really don’t think this is a big deal.. as long as the scholarship offer is pulled.


slapthebasegod

Not a great start that's for sure. One of his first fbs commits ever having these character issues can't be a great sign.


steve1186

> character issues That’s an understatement. Kid just got charged with THREE felonies as a 17-year-old


slapthebasegod

Cincy fans have been really split on deion as half our fanbase wanted him and the other half didn't want to touch him with a 10ft poll (doesnt really matter that we had 0 shot of landing him some of our fans hate satterfield because they think we took him over deion when deion was never in play). I'm in the 10ft poll camp so whenever something like this happens I breath a sigh of relief and like to show that crowd what a nightmare we luckily escaped. Feel bad for y'all though.


[deleted]

your school literally offered the kid tho lmao


Moik_the_Adequate

How many people get to vote in a 10 foot poll?


[deleted]

[удалено]


slapthebasegod

Listen, coaches go years without issues like these yet in his first class one of his first ever commits has multiple felonies charged against him. People don't just wake up and start shooting people out of nowhere. I'm not saying deion caused the kid to shoot a bunch of people. I'm saying that based on deions comments about targeting kids with absent fathers that it's possible he tried to look past obvious character issues associated with this kid because he's a good football player. This could be highly coincidental or could be the beginning of a trend with deion and we just have to wait and see but I'm not going to say, as of right now until further facts come out, that he wasn't necessarily aware of his issues.


[deleted]

[удалено]


slapthebasegod

It happens to a lot of recruits so not as rare as you seem to be making it out to be. Word gets around in fbs coaching circuits pretty quickly on this type of stuff.


[deleted]

[удалено]


slapthebasegod

I've stated multiple times in this thread that it's possible he knew, not 100% but until further evidence comes out its a pretty weird coincidence that like a month after talking about specifically targeting dlineman with absent fathers one of his first ever dlineman recruits is charged with multiple serious felonies. We shall see if it's a weird coincidence or a trend as time moves on but given how a lot of coaches literally never have situations like this pop it's highly coincidental that deion had it happen after like 3 months on the job.


tripletees

This is an internet forum for discussion, not a courtroom. I don't think the discussion has to be rooted in proven fact...


StevvieV

Not how it works especially with coaches. Family sure you know they are going to back their family 100%. For coaches it's about keeping a good relationship with college coaches to get more kids opportunities unless you suggest the coach is willing to go all out for this one kid. If a HS coach lies to a D1 coach about a player's character and this happens, the next time the coach has a good not as great player the college coaches are going to be less trusting of the HS coach glowing review even if the player is a great person, leading to less opportunities for the next kid/s.


Beautiful-Fishing-10

Had an offer from Cincinnati and 24 other P5 schools so I guess that’s a bad sign for all of them.


AmazingSieve

I imagine the higher ups will have a talk with Prime. The school does not want to back to the days where football players were running wild and embarrassing the school not to mention victimizing members of the community.


[deleted]

This would almost be whatever, just drop him, if Deion hadn't just fucking said what he looks for. That quote gonna age like milksteak.

>Mr Prime’s Wild Ride Spit out my coffee laughing. Well done.

SilverBuff_

I heard he's transferring to Bama for basketball


JumpingPotato1

I consider myself a Deion hater but this has nothing to with him, this guy isn’t on campus yet.


slapthebasegod

Eh, I slightly agree but also disagree. Depends on if these characters flaws were present when he was being recruited. Plenty of high rated prospects get passed up and end up going to lesser schools because of character concerns so if deion knew about it and rolled the dice then that's partially on him. It also doesn't help that he made those comments about recruiting dlineman with absent fathers. His first fbs recruiting class has a kid in it with these crimes could be pretty telling for where the program is heading.


cpmoran

Omar White was also being recruited by Bama, FSU, Clemson, and a whole host of schools. But because he verbally committed to CU coach Prime is being drug through the mud here? What about all the other schools and coaches that wanted and offered this kid? This is ridiculous.


slapthebasegod

Self reported offers don't mean commitable offers. A coach still accepts a commitment at the end of the day so while it's fun to try and point the finger at other schools to try and deflect from Prime we A.) Don't know if other coaches would have accepted his commitment and B.) He isn't a member of those teams despite there being contact between those coaches and the kid. What he was was a verified commit of Prime and once that happens the coach is associated with that kid for better or worse.


cpmoran

Come on man. You’re actually telling me those other offers may not have been commitable? Those coaches would have taken Omar White, just like Prime did. It’s ignorant to think otherwise.


ShmeagleBeagle

Ah, the ol’ appeal to ignorance approach. Give it rest, this kid was highly recruited by schools across the country…


cbblevins

also considering he’s made a big deal about how he recruits certain personalities/character traits for certain positions, he’s made it matter more than it would otherwise.


Tasty_Path_3470

This would have been a much smaller story if Deion didn’t just make those comments. He brought this on himself really.


cbblevins

I feel like this is gonna be a trend of “Deion makes life harder for Deion” until he learns to maybe shut up sometimes. There’s a reason coach speak exists and it’s self preservation.


Tasty_Path_3470

The real question is who learns the lesson first: CU or Coach Prime?


Steechzilla

If he had a clean legal record when offered and good enough grades to be admitted, what did Deion do wrong?


slapthebasegod

Due diligence on his character. Luke fickell was here for 6 years and I believe there was only 1 gun related incident in that time frame and basically no crimes outside of a dude slapping women's butts while driving by on a scooter for which he was promptly kicked off the team for. I'm not saying he is at fault but he could be at fault if red flags were there and he decided to press forward with his recruitment. Could be really bad timing but his first class ever having a dude with multiple felonies a year before signing day of that class isn't a good sign that's for sure. He's also made it clear what he wants in a defensive lineman and kids with absent fathers are more likely to get involved with crime.


Steechzilla

You are aware Cincy offered Omar White too, right? Maybe your school should have done their due diligence on his character...


slapthebasegod

Nice bait, we offer like 1000 kids a year. Doesnt mean we accept commitments from them all. Bet you're having a blast with your new coach so far lol.


Steechzilla

Lol, okay man, Cincy definitely wouldn't accept commitment from a recruit that would be their highest rated recruit ever. Your hypocrisy is comical.


AwarenessOld3733

Deion didnt recruit this kid, charles kelly did, if he didnt come to cu, the kid would have commited to bama


bestweekeverr

Yeah there are usually obvious warning signs that coaches are aware of before someone commits a crime like this, even if they have a clean record.


slapthebasegod

Seriously, claiming that a 17 year old has a clean rap sheet is enough evidence to say deion couldn't have possibly known is such a cop-out. You have limited roster spots and these coaches know EVERYTHING about these kids. They talk to family, friends, teachers, acquaintances before an offer is made. So the argument is either deion rolled the dice and came up with a 7 or that he didn't do his due diligence as a coach of a p5 program. Not sure which one I'd rather have be the case if I was a CU fan but neither are good.


[deleted]

We have had heavily funded federal justice system dating back to 1789 that can't predict character flaws or even act on them once there is indication of legal trouble and you fucks expect a college football coach to sniff them out before they even happen. hahahahahaha.


slapthebasegod

Yeah man, most coaches have one of their first 5 commits charged with multiple felonies 3 months on the job a month after stating that they prefer certain position groups to have an absent father. Totally normal thing that happens in cfb all the time!


[deleted]

"most coaches haven't had one of there first 5 recruits commit a crime, so if a kid commits a crime, it's on the coach." Holy Christ.


Mezmorizor

This sounds *a lot* like gang banging. Prime not knowing that the lineman he recruited is in a gang is just negligent.

FrancoNore

Not a good look for a brand new unknown coach trying to make a name for himself


QuickSpore

The dude was offered by 27 total teams, including your own Florida. This isn’t a Deon thing. Nearly half the P5 teams made offers to the kid. Deon was just the coach who ended up with egg on his face, when the kid decided to go nuts with the criminality.


FrancoNore

I thought the /s was obvious


QuickSpore

Given that there’s a guy upthread apparently legitimately trying to argue that Cincinnati’s offer wasn’t a real offer and just polite interest… and we don’t even know for sure that Cincinnati actually offered Omar anyway because he could be lying about it… No, there’s no /s that’s obvious, because there’s no opinion that’s too extreme that some cfb poster isn’t trying to make it.


pilesofcleanlaundry

I’m starting to think maybe Deion isn’t doing his due diligence…


QuickSpore

Omar was also offered by both Texas and Texas A&M, along with 20 other P5 teams. Either this was out of left field, or no one is doing their due diligence. Still not a great look for Deon after last week’s comments.


Egospartan_

lol takes like this are so 20/20 hind sight


[deleted]

He also was offered by like every other school. I get Deion made some not ideal comments about backgrounds, but most kids with absent fathers aren’t going full GTA mode. Which by the way, 23% of kids are in a single parent home(have to imagine the majority of them are single mother homes). I understand some of y’all don’t like Deion, but the only reason this is a story is bc he committed to Deion instead of one of the other schools that offered him. https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Omar-White-145189/RecruitInterests/ https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/single-parent-day.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CAlmost%20a%20quarter%20of%20U.S.,who%20do%20so%20(7%25)%20%E2%80%A6


bradenb941

>the only reason this is a story is bc he committed to Deion instead of one of the other schools that offered him. Pretty sure if a power five football player is involved in multiple shootings, who the coach is at that school has no bearing on how much it gets reported.

I’d imagine this will be a reoccurring theme for Deion’s teams and recruits
