@@undercoverism7290 yeah definitely a sun belt team could beat a sec team who just currently had their best season in a while and finished the regular season in the to 10. Definitely
You, got to Understand who's The Coach at Ole Miss....Lane Kiffin & Since When Has Lane Kiffin Kept his Word ON ANYTHING. I Believe the Player in this Situation.
Lane Kiffin…the guy that told the AD Tennessee was his dream job, then left after one year stating USC was the only job he would leave Tennessee for. So that made USC his dream job. You mean that guy screwed over a kid…shocker.
Yeah, Ole Miss pulled their offer to recruit a better player. I commented on another video where a collegiate athlete was saying that you shouldn't reach out to schools and you should allow them to come to you, and I said, that's not always the best approach. Because 1. You can be really good, but unknown and if nobody knows who you are, you're not getting recruited, and 2. Just because a school is recruiting you, doesn't necessarily mean they want or even need you. They could just be recruiting you to fill up a roster spot or the guy they really wanted committed somewhere else. And if you're reaching out to the school, the coaches will be honest with you and tell you the truth instead of them just telling you what you want to hear to get you to sign with them, and this is a prime example of that. He committed to Ole Miss, but they were able to get a better player and pulled his offer. Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated.
I know this because I signed to a division one program a couple of years ago: Ole Miss is totally in the wrong here. The staff verbally offered this guy and usually what follows is they will give the NLI to you a few days before signing day (they should have given this at the official visit), then they will tell you to sign it on signing day and send a picture or fax it to them ASAP on that day (I sent mine at 5:30AM). Ole Miss totally screwed this guy because they took advantage of him not knowing the standard process. They were targeting someone else and didn’t know if he was going to commit. What did they do? Lead this guy on just in case. Total bs
@@MrDdub619 sorry pal but a school shouldn’t be considered a business especially when the players aren’t making any of the multi billion dollar revenue
Young and unaware of how the world can be. He will learn a huge lesson in communication and contracts. Most importantly, he sound very humble. THAT… goes even farther for NFL TEAMS. Humility, work ethics, learning ability and talent.
Why has lane kiffen ever stayed true to his word? I believe the kid, some of things don't make sense to adults, but to a kid who's trusting adults...his story checks out imo
This stuff happens all the time. I was recurited to play D2 BASKETBALL years ago and Dixie state which is in Utah was recruiting me heavy. I never got to take my official visit out there but I constantly would speak to the coaching staff week in and week out. When I thought I was going to get my letter of intent they pulled my so called offer for a player they really wanted. I was devasted but then another program in New Mexico reached out and gave me an offer and I took my visit and signed right there on the spot. big ups for this kid sticking with it. Wish him the best
They gave him coach talk, they had another wr they wanted more and when that player signed, I was drop. This happens all the time, must schools explain this process, seem like Ole Miss didn't.
He did it with cameras on the news and his parents/parent was too dumb to know it's not real unless there is paper behind it. Hope this kid gets educated cause his parents failed him that day. He set there with the shirt and everything. Smh. All those offers and he pick the school that didn't give you one. Don't be a fan of a school. It's business.
@B RR Because Ole Piss is still on Probation they have Lane Kiffin only one of the most controversial coaches in football he doesnt care about anything but a check🤡🤡🤡
Its shady but he dodged a bullet cause imagine he signed then another player thats slightly better comes in. Hell be benched and hell end up transferring and having to sit out a year.
as a vol fan this is very true, He hurt our team when he left but we got over it and now we are glad hes gone. great offensive coach but i wonder about his integrity?
He never got an offer from Ole Miss. He knew when he was signing a scrap piece of paper that he didn't have a scholarship offer from Ole Miss. I think he had told family and friends that he was going to Ole Miss and was embarrassed when the offer didn't materialize. So, he just simply faked it. Typical !
@@bbginc694 he had several committable offers but the offer from Ole Miss was non committable most schools give out from 100 to 200 offers a year when they can only sign 25
Sounds like he was talking to the coach ... but the school was bartering until the last second when the got the player they preferred. A crappy deal for the kid who actually sounded honest. The paper signing was a bit naïve. As others have said, handshakes are worthless. Also paperwork should to go a knowledgeable lawyer before any signing. It appears that Ole Miss, and perhaps others, certainly can't be trusted without that paperwork.
You don't want this kid. He had offers and choose a school who didn't give him one. A&T needs to be aggressive when it comes to recruiting players and coach's lot of nfl players want ops.
It’s all about the money. Nothing against HBCU. But you have a much better chance of getting drafted at a big time D1 school. Not because the athletes are better. They’re on TV and have a better chance of getting drafted n
The only thing that I found odd about all this was it’s not usually commonplace for a 3 star to do the “big hat reveal” stuff unless there are offers on the table ready to sign. From my experience as a 3 star, it was a waiting game that came after National Signing Day was long since over. Like the next week when schools had time to let the dust settle and see who the actually did and didn’t sign. And just something to consider… there are not many 3 star recruits at WR on anyone’s board in the SEC. At least, not once again, on National Signing Day.
Another thing too, is just because you get a call or have an official visit doesn't mean they are going to let you be a scholarship player. That is something where you have to ask questions & find out for sure, especially when it comes to the bigger SEC schools. These schools are going to try to draft the 5☆'s first, the 4☆'s second & the 3☆'s last. That's just the way it is. So if you are a 3☆ you should make your commitment & sign early if you can. That way you already on the books & if there is a 4☆ they want they can't choose him instead of you cuz you already signed up.
LSU had gave kid a offer in the 11th grade he verbal to them after his senior year of high school on signing day they pulled his offer gave it to another kid. Crazy thing is the kid was a 4 ⭐️ from St. Francis in Baltimore smh. These coaches need to be clear with these about these offers and verbals.
Was that Demon Clowney you were talking about? I'm reading that he "opted not to sign" with LSU, maybe the writer didn't get the full story. Because Clowney's friend, Rakim Jarrett was committed to LSU then opted for Maryland, possibly over LSU's treatment of Demon.
The ugly side of college sports. They wanted him on the hook. He was the back up in case they didn't sign the number of wr they wanted and has rated higher. They reached quota, so didn't extend written offer. Happens far too often. That's one reason I don't have problem with kids who change their verbal commitment multiple times. Nothing counts until it's in writing.
Because those schools had already given him a national letter of intent and he was still waiting on his from Ole Miss because they told him that they would send it to him the week of signing day
I’ve always been the type of person that my words and a handshake mean something. I’ve actually caused myself physical injuries to keep my word. It sort of sounds like this kid felt similar and expected someone to keep theirs. It also could have been someone dancing around giving answer to his questions.… like a lawyer who knows his guy is guilty.
@@thawkereynolds how is it on Ole Miss ? Guy was not bright. And he has a family and high school guidance counselors and sports coaches. So they are all dumb af.
@@ourawkfist he's going into his senior year in HS in the fall. I don't know how good he is, I've never seen him play, but his stature is probably close to a RB or so, you know on the smaller end, maybe 5-10 to 6-0. He's also a 4.0+gpa athlete so I think he wants to go there regardless, and since he'll likely get an academic scholarship the odd of him making the FB team are better.
@@danmcdonald726 His GPA is a big add actually. The schools have to keep track and MUST maintain a minimum "overall" GPA for all student athletes. So his 4 helps to raise someone with a 1.5 that is struggling but working on academics with support. The academics are amazing at OSU, and so his diploma on the wall is more valuable than any time on the field. His SATs will most likely matter towards his Academic scholarship though at OSU. The team can actually work to push that through as well.
As someone who has actually experienced a coach offering me a full ride and then renegging when it came to signing time in basketball, this definitely DOES happen. Coaches will say anything to try to secure a kid and get his loyalty, but if they can get a better option, they don't care what they promise. The kid took what was verbally told to him as fact, but it's not real until you sign the paperwork.
This happens on a small scale every year unfortunately. The young man obviously needed help from his camp, his HS Coach needed to represent him and ask the hard question as things got a little fuzzy after his official visit, 'do you want him or not?' This young man needed to know the straight up answer so he could commit and sign with one of the other D1 offers he had. The HS coach should NEVER allow a coach from that Ole Miss staff in his HS to recruit any future schools. Ole Miss did this young man wrong.
Verbal offers are nearly useless. Parents and players need to know that. They need to know if the offer is actionable. Schools are playing the numbers game; but the good schools will balance that with their reputation. Pulling offers is more common than most players and parents think.
This is a great example which shows you these big schools are about business. They will screw the players over if it’s not in the school’s best interest.
This should be shown to ALL HS athletes. I coached HS, High end JUCO and D1A football. A verbal offer doesn’t mean a damn thing it’s non binding per the NCAA. A college football program will offer 400 kids to sign 24 on signing day. When kids run around as freshman posting “offers” all over Instagram they have bad leadership. None of it means anything until they buy your plane ticket, bring you in on one of your 5 allowed official visits and you sit in front of head coach and he offers you. After all that you’re still not safe they still have to have deliver or send you the official scholarship and you sign it and send it back. Lastly there are NO 4 YEAR FULL RIDES you are signing a one year agreement only and the HC renews it each year based on your performance, off field actions and GPA. Thank the recruiting services, media and people suckering kids into paying them to work out and “select sports” for this bullshit. If you’re a D1A athlete they will find you under a rock in a barn you don’t have to pay someone to help you get recruited. Lastly watching his film he’s a good athlete but stiff in hips and not SEC explosive. That doesn’t mean he won’t be after 4 years in a program. Usually you end up where you belong and he looks a lot more like a N Texas caliber athlete then a SEC athlete. Cold blooded? Not even. College sports are a business not just a sport.
So the team he ended up with has NFL caliber players. His window of opportunity is still open. Most NFL players have zigzag routes to the big show. I wish this young man well.
The Staffs and even agents are scum bags. Had a friend this happened to with transitioning to NBA. Every move he was making working with his agent was for the benefit of another player they were after.
It's a business guys, just like the real world. Businesses will screw anybody to get ahead. He trusted them and they changed their mind. To hell with the kids they don't want anymore.
i got an offer to San Jose State. I accepted, no paper work ......then coaching staff got fired. Went dead. Cal Poly gave me a tryout (not legal) gave me a provisional: if make the team, we have a scholarship . But,we don't have any scholarships left ? Went D2, Pro prospect, my Qb was NFL player and several others on the team. Wasn't in the stars to be a pro. Higher you go , less fun.
Unless he had a Signed Official Legal Letter of Commitment from Ole Miss it's no different than any of the other Schools saying "we'd love to have you here on our Team", so does that mean he's committed to the other Schools that offered as well? No. No Official Legal Letter, No Commitment. Did Ole Miss do him wrong? I don't think so, you shouldn't place blame without both sides of the story, Glad it worked out for him in the end, now he can focus on his game, best of luck to him,
What happens sometimes pple send letters about these players talking negatively about them and this is the results it happens is part of life thats why we're ever you wish to go on those small towns you never tell pple we're you going period
They never offered him. How can you sign with someone when you haven’t received documentation. A contractual agreement requires a contract. He should have went with the best school that issued him legal papers to sign.
What you said around the 8minute mark sounds about right. What you also have to understand is Ole Miss just had a coaching change with Lane Kiffin being the new head coach there. With that going on there were probably a lot of changes happening & a lot of players probably committed before Brown did & those may have been blue chips so Brown was the odd man out. I'm not sure how it all works but evidently the Good Lord above had a different plan in mind for Mr Brown & Ole Miss wasn't a part of that plan. With as many offers as he had, I do hope he is now taking advantage of one of those offers. I think I saw LSU being one of those offers, so if he took that one he would still compete in the SEC Western Division, which is still the strongest division in the strongest conference. And he could receive a quality education for his efforts.
I 1000% believe the player. You only can really get recruited once so it’s not like he should’ve known better. I also think it’s complete BS for Ole Miss to reach out to ESPN rather than reach out to the kids with embarrassment. Some of these universities n coaches just got to grow the fuck up. I’m not surprised at the school or coach involved... at all
Unfortunately, this happens every year around signing period. Verbal doesn’t mean nothing until scholarship is signed. Also, it works both ways because a player my make a verbal commitment and change his mind as well.. just the nature of the business!
If you don’t get scholarship papers from the school (meaning they didn’t Fed Ex them to you or your HS Coach)- then there is no offer. Pretty simple actually.
Proverbs 19:21 - "You can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail."

Amen may god bless you
Bless the Lord, amen father

The HS coach should NEVER allow a coach from that Ole Miss staff in his HS to recruit any future schools. Ole Miss did this young man wrong.
3 words. Delusions Of Grandeur
Wish the kid nothing but the best
Verbal offers are nearly useless. Parents and players need to know that. They need to know if the offer is actionable. Schools are playing the numbers game; but the good schools will balance that with their reputation. Pulling offers is more common than most players and parents think.
Why would any young black man commit to Ole Miss, much less Lane Kiffin?.....smdh
The business of athletics is not always a nice pretty green, sometimes it looks like the green from a dollar.
This is a great example which shows you these big schools are about business. They will screw the players over if it’s not in the school’s best interest.
Just because you take a visit it doesn’t mean you get a committable offer. Every school does this
I wouldn't play for Mississippi or Alabama........at all. Should have gone to an HBCU.
This happens at every school for every position every signing day at the d1 level
This should be shown to ALL HS athletes. I coached HS, High end JUCO and D1A football. A verbal offer doesn’t mean a damn thing it’s non binding per the NCAA. A college football program will offer 400 kids to sign 24 on signing day. When kids run around as freshman posting “offers” all over Instagram they have bad leadership. None of it means anything until they buy your plane ticket, bring you in on one of your 5 allowed official visits and you sit in front of head coach and he offers you. After all that you’re still not safe they still have to have deliver or send you the official scholarship and you sign it and send it back. Lastly there are NO 4 YEAR FULL RIDES you are signing a one year agreement only and the HC renews it each year based on your performance, off field actions and GPA. Thank the recruiting services, media and people suckering kids into paying them to work out and “select sports” for this bullshit. If you’re a D1A athlete they will find you under a rock in a barn you don’t have to pay someone to help you get recruited. Lastly watching his film he’s a good athlete but stiff in hips and not SEC explosive. That doesn’t mean he won’t be after 4 years in a program. Usually you end up where you belong and he looks a lot more like a N Texas caliber athlete then a SEC athlete. Cold blooded? Not even. College sports are a business not just a sport.
They held him up so he didn't sign with Noone else but they landed someone better and left him hanging! Facts!
I hope he does unbelievable and makes it to the league one day!!
He should have committed to Southern Miss from the start! Ok...you guessed it...I'm from Hattiesburg! :)
Whether they have Hugh Freeze as coach or Lane Kiffin as coach, Ole Miss can't get it right 🙄
Anybody should be wary of anything lane kiffen says
I can see this making a Tosh .0 skit. Haha sounds just like something Krimson Korner would do
That happens alot they recruit and if they get somebody they really like instead they'll act as if they never knew who the player was....
College football is big business and this guy wasn't trying to lie,Ole Miss offered but didn't have enough scholarships for all the promises made!
What's the problem? If your good ,..go somewhere else...no problem.. welcome to life young man
Looks like He had to sit behind North Texas receiver, Jaelon Darden, who was drafted by The Tampa Bay bucs.
So the team he ended up with has NFL caliber players. His window of opportunity is still open. Most NFL players have zigzag routes to the big show. I wish this young man well.
If the head coach doesn't want him then he doesn't want him!!
lane kiffin i heard that name i knew this was going to be something shady and i was right unreal
The Staffs and even agents are scum bags. Had a friend this happened to with transitioning to NBA. Every move he was making working with his agent was for the benefit of another player they were after.
But if he's that good, then it shouldn't be a problem to sign with a top program!? Nothing is adding up lol
He didn't have a commitable offer and the staff told him that months before.
I hope he makes Kiffin look like a fool for pulling it! Roll Tide!
Great narration! Before you said it, I thought the same thing about them signing another receiver!
They Did This Young Man DIRTY 💔 But someone else came along & Did Him RIGHT 🤴 🙏 💖
Pls do a video on what happened to Diamond Stone
“There was a GAH who was a really good footbahh player” hick talk
It sucks because he legitimately has a ton of videos on dope shit, but the voice is next level awful. Can't even do it.
😂😂😂😂
I’m cryinngggg😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅😅
They gave him a verbal commitment then opted for another player. Factor in Lane Kiffin's lack of integrity and the truth is plain to see.
It's a business guys, just like the real world. Businesses will screw anybody to get ahead. He trusted them and they changed their mind. To hell with the kids they don't want anymore.
i got an offer to San Jose State. I accepted, no paper work ......then coaching staff got fired. Went dead. Cal Poly gave me a tryout (not legal) gave me a provisional: if make the team, we have a scholarship . But,we don't have any scholarships left ?
Went D2, Pro prospect, my Qb was NFL player and several others on the team. Wasn't in the stars to be a pro. Higher you go , less fun.
Give that young man a full scholarship to Mississippi State
Wow I'm surprised you're not doing a Mikey Video
Unless he had a Signed Official Legal Letter of Commitment from Ole Miss it's no different than any of the other Schools saying "we'd love to have you here on our Team", so does that mean he's committed to the other Schools that offered as well? No. No Official Legal Letter, No Commitment.
Did Ole Miss do him wrong?
I don't think so,
you shouldn't place blame without both sides of the story,
Glad it worked out for him in the end, now he can focus on his game, best of luck to him,
What happens sometimes pple send letters about these players talking negatively about them and this is the results it happens is part of life thats why we're ever you wish to go on those small towns you never tell pple we're you going period
They never offered him. How can you sign with someone when you haven’t received documentation. A contractual agreement requires a contract. He should have went with the best school that issued him legal papers to sign.
What you said around the 8minute mark sounds about right. What you also have to understand is Ole Miss just had a coaching change with Lane Kiffin being the new head coach there. With that going on there were probably a lot of changes happening & a lot of players probably committed before Brown did & those may have been blue chips so Brown was the odd man out. I'm not sure how it all works but evidently the Good Lord above had a different plan in mind for Mr Brown & Ole Miss wasn't a part of that plan. With as many offers as he had, I do hope he is now taking advantage of one of those offers. I think I saw LSU being one of those offers, so if he took that one he would still compete in the SEC Western Division, which is still the strongest division in the strongest conference. And he could receive a quality education for his efforts.
I am sure that young kids get this treatment frequently. We heard about this because the kid was blabbing about it as things were developing.
Moral of the story, stop signing with these Confederate schools
Confederate schools, kid welcome to the year 2021 not 1861. Idiot.
With Lane Kiffin involved the kid probably got screwed over.
I 1000% believe the player. You only can really get recruited once so it’s not like he should’ve known better. I also think it’s complete BS for Ole Miss to reach out to ESPN rather than reach out to the kids with embarrassment. Some of these universities n coaches just got to grow the fuck up. I’m not surprised at the school or coach involved... at all
Unfortunately, this happens every year around signing period. Verbal doesn’t mean nothing until scholarship is signed. Also, it works both ways because a player my make a verbal commitment and change his mind as well.. just the nature of the business!
“There was a GAH” 😫 😂
If you don’t get scholarship papers from the school (meaning they didn’t Fed Ex them to you or your HS Coach)- then there is no offer. Pretty simple actually.
He's got a chance to make Ole Miss look really stupid.
