i don't know that coach broadway didn't sign dudes who use slang. but i do know that everybody he signed was not a "choir boy". we've had guys who he signed during his era who were "dismissed" for reasons consistent with "street life" such as allegedly selling drugs or allegedly possessing fire arms. so let's not pretend coach broadway had an all "choir boy" roster. he too took chances on dudes who were not your every day "boy scout"... It appears you misunderstood me. My point is Coach Broadway would not deal with a kid who said “yeah man, you know what I’m sayin’” in initial conversation with him as opposed to “yes coach” or “yes sir.” Whether or not his players were “choir boys” is of no moment whatsoever and not germane to my point. Most every inner city kid I know around here is already taught two things in Pop Warner from age six: be tough and respect your elders. For all the posturing taking place on both sides of this subject I don’t think anybody can deny that youth sports, especially in our communities, are largely set up to instill morals, ethics, discipline, and a healthy dose of common sense in our youth. To repeat myself, give recruits credit. Give our communities credit while you’re at it my friends. If a division I coach is going to contact a recruit somebody is going to prep them. Even if their grammar sucks they’ll be respectful of the coach and his position. They are not going to start the relationship with “yeah man, you know what I’m sayin’.” If they do it’s because they have already chosen to be disrespectful or have not prepared in the least for what may be some of the most important conversations of their young lives, not because of any habitual use of slang. If you’re dealing with a person who has chosen to disrespect your position upon initial contact, good riddance. If you’re dealing with a kid whose coaches, teachers, parents, whoever failed him by not properly preparing him to have an adult-level conversation that could get him free college tuition, let his a$$ go to that dung pile up 85. I’m all for Coach Brown holding everyone to an ELITE standard from the time they hit the door. i don’t think you can paint every inner city youth with the same brush. just yesterday on tv i saw an inner city youth who came before a real “judge” in a lawsuit and he initially called the judge “bro”. well, i don’t think he “intentionally” was being disrespectful of the judge, nobody “intentionally” disrespects a judge who has the power to “change your life”. i believe that’s the only kind of language that dude was accustomed to due to the environment that he grew up in. apparently you think that's not possible. so the judge initially corrected the guy not to use that language and the dude acknowledged the judge by immediately “apologizing”. then later on during the hearing, the very same thing “slipped out” again before he could catch himself! so the 2nd time it happened, the judge got mad and reprimanded him by dismissing his case and ruling in favor of the plaintiff. point being, some kids use “street slang” because it is all they know and they don’t perceive it as being “disrespectful”. heck, in many ways they perceive it as being just the “opposite”. so why penalize a kid for that? i agree with you that “most” (not all) youth sports are setup to instill the attributes you listed. “however”, that does not mean it actually happens 100% of the time, particularly in low income neighborhoods. i know for an indisputable “FACT” that some of the coaches of youth league teams “cuss like a sailor” around those kids, hardly instilling the things you listed. and a large percentage of high school coaches do the exact same thing as do college coaches as well. so not every youth program does the things you listed and that’s a “FACT”, i’ve seen and heard it firsthand with my very own eyes and ears. and, unless you go everywhere coach broadway goes and partake in every conversation he does, i don’t think “anybody” can unconditionally say what coach broadway would deal with or not deal with when recruiting. additionally, it is not true that all high school recruits get “prepped” before meeting with a d1 coach. my daughter was “highly” recruited by d1 coaches and never once was she “prepped” before meeting with a d1 coach, not even by “ME”! so that’s not true. the high school athletes i know are not “prepped” either. i’m personally from the “oldschool”, so i don’t like most of the language that today’s youth use either. however, i’m around them all the time and have been since graduating college. so i understand them more so than someone who has not. just like the kid who got reprimanded by the judge, many (not all) of them don’t realize they’re being disrespectful by stating, “ya know what i’m saying”. actually, stating “ya know what i’m saying” doesn’t offend me one bit. heck, it takes “very little effort” for a d1 coach to correct a prospect if the prospect states, “ya know what i’m saying” during an interview. i mean, hbcu’s already have a “smaller” number of recruits that they can legitimately go after compared to pwc’s. to further “reduce” that pool thereby making recruiting even more difficult because a kid uses “street slang” is very much ill-advisable, imo. today’s coaches aren’t coaching kids from my era. as “always”, there’s changes in youth attitudes from generation to generation. there are words that kids can say today in public that we were not allowed to say in school back in the day. today's youth show less respect for authority compared to when i grew up. so coaches who cannot relate to the generational changes of youth over the years will have a far more difficult time dealing with and understanding today’s youth which to me, should be a "prerequisite" to college coaching. “immediately” dismissing recruits just because they use street slang is a perfect example of not understanding today's youth…

You should be a espn analyst. lol I agree with that statement I dont have the time to read all that other S. you got going on. But what do you think when Deion Sanders says "he looks for QB in a “dual parent homes” and “a strong father.” But when it comes to defensive lineman, Sanders says that “single mama” and “he's on free lunches"

oleschool, the example you cited sums up what I believe is Coach Brown's philosophy in a nutshell.
Almost nobody past elementary is stupid enough to simply not know to properly address a judge. I'm betting this wasn't the person's first time before a judge either. Despite knowing better, the boy willfully disrespected the judge. Coach Brown has said upon initially meeting him or his staff if you choose to willfully be overly familiar or blatantly disrespectful, he has no use for you.
Characterizing it as turning away kids who use street slang or pretending there are large swaths of high school recruits who are attempting to earn a college scholarship who don't know better is tomfoolery at best.

Characterizing it as turning away kids who use street slang or pretending there are large swaths of high school recruits who are attempting to earn a college scholarship who don't know better is tomfoolery at best. dooms, i see what you're saying but "honestly", dude did not "intentionally" nor "willfully" disrespect the judge. otherwise, he would not have immediately apologized. i agree that he's probably been before a judge before, but i "honestly" don't think he "willfully" disrespected the judge because it literally "slipped out" again (by mistake, imo) later in the hearing and he tried to catch himself but it was too late. i mean, even the judge gave him a 2nd chance. if a kid has been talking a certain way all his life, often he cannot turn it off "instantly" during an interview. as i always say on bdv, i'm an "end results" kinda dude. so i really don't care what coach brown's recruiting philosophy is as long as he "wins" football games. i'm just saying that if it were me, i would not take that approach and i'm sure there's no shortage of d1 football coaches who would agree with me. a&t by no means is w&m, not even by a long shot. recruiting philosophies that work at w&m may not necessarily work at a&t because hbcu's do not have the same legitimate access to many of the white athletes that w&m has access to. that being said, to further reduce your recruiting opportunities just because a kid uses street slang in the already limited pool of recruits that hbcu's have access to, to me is not a good approach. that's my personal opinion, but i don't really care how coach brown chooses to recruit his players as long as he "wins"...

If those interactions include yes coach or yes sir we are good!" (emphasis added). That's the exact quote. Can you point out to me where he is reducing his recruiting opportunities just because a kid uses street slang? I kind of feel like you've been waging a one-man war against something the man didn't even say . He has warned recruits to be prepared to make a positive first impression. Like I typed a few pages ago, I give our recruits (and our people) way more credit than that. I simply don't see anybody who is a college scholarship level player being completely unprepared to speak to a college coach that could offer them the chance to get a free college education. If a recruit is that flat out unprepared, stupid, or willfully disrespectful, Coach Brown don't want them. And I am of the opinion it in no way, shape, or form will limit our recruiting pool one iota. There just aren't that many kids out there that don't know better that have an opportunity to play past high school in the first place.

I tend to agree with Dooms sentiments but, there is a part of me that continues to tug at my inner-being with the question, "If he is into DEVELOPING ELITE MEN, where does that begin?" Unfortunately, there are some kids out there that haven't been taught the proper way to address authority figures, hence you get, "yeah man, you know what I'm saying!" What happened to it taking a village to raise a child in the way he/she should go? Just some of the questions that tug at me when I hear Coach Brown saying these things. Somebody had to teach him...think about it.

I feel y'all, but I just think you're buying way too much into stereotyping all our boys into kids that don't know basics. I can't fathom there being that many kids out there looking for a scholarship that don't know how to properly address an authority figure upon first meeting.
This whole side-issue (which is kinda fascinating btw) makes me wonder how many recruits we've ever had on our team that did say "yeah man, you know what I'm sayin'" or something similar in their initial conversations with a member of our staff that was recruiting them.
I'm betting the number is a lot closer to ZERO than 10. And I mean since the first football team we ever fielded.

I agree with that statement I dont have the time to read all that other S. you got going on. But what do you think when Deion Sanders says "he looks for QB in a “dual parent homes” and “a strong father.” But when it comes to defensive lineman, Sanders says that “single mama” and “he's on free lunches" trues, when you're a pwc coach, you can get away with coach prime's and coach brown's approaches because you have access to a much larger pool of recruits compared to hbcu's. so pwc coaches can afford to be "more selective" than hbcu coaches. obviously, i don't agree with what coach prime stated relative to recruiting qb's and d-linemen. but again, he can step into just about "any" recruit's home to recruit that prospect but hbcu coaches can't. the hbcu pool of available recruits is a "subset" of what's available to pwc coaches. so to me, our coaches don't have the luxury of immediately kicking recruits to the curb just because of the language they use... Not true about the coaching pool . The recruiting pool is open to all levels D1-2-3 and NAIA, HBCU's and PWI’s. What a HC says in setting his standards for the type of athletes he needs or offers a scholarship to, dose not deplete his chances in the national recruitment pool . To be truthful most athletes, parents, HS and JUCO Head Coaches want to see there athletes in a program that promote High standards of discipline from their athletes . Your making this more then it really is with this " when you're a pwc coach, you can get away with coach prime's and coach brown's approaches because you have access to a much larger pool of recruits compared to hbcu's" it's just not fact or true . HBCU'S have always has access to the National recruiting pool but they chose to only recruit a certain type of athlete because they felt that they could sign those athletes quicker. But that was in the PAST, basically locking themselves out from the 4-five star and White and other athletes of color by ñot recruiting them , wasn't that they didn't have access it was because they chose not to recruit actively actively. But that has changed. Coach Brown as all head coaches do, set the standards for their program and athletes . This may not be something that some of you are used to hearing publicly, because most of these things are said in private between the coaches and recruiting staff . Don't make an issue out of something that is not an issue just get used to the new standards for Aggie football athletes. Aggies Pride make Aggies do.

And I am of the opinion it in no way, shape, or form will limit our recruiting pool one iota. There just aren't that many kids out there that don't know better that have an opportunity to play past high school in the first place. can i point out to you where coach brown is reducing his recruiting opportunities just because a kid uses street slang? absolutely i can! first and foremost, "most" (not all) kids who use the language coach brown referred to in his tweet are predominantly african american kids which happen to be recruits who are far more willing to attend an hbcu than white kids. hbcu's have far more access to african american kids than white kids. so if you're automatically "dismissive" of recruits who use the language coach brown stated in his tweet, then he's primarily dismissing a subset of african american recruits who are a part of the "limited" pool of recruits that hbcu's are more likely to sign. i mean, what other ethnicity predominantly uses the phrase coach brown tweeted? certainly not white kids. also, you have a right to your own "opinion", but in no way whatsoever have i waged a war against coach brown and really don't appreciate being "defamed" in that way. did i not state that i don't care how coach brown chooses to recruit? so if i don't care how he chooses to recruit, then how in the living hail am i waging a war against him? " PLEASE" EXPLAIN THAT TO ME cuz nothing could be further from the truth. what i stated was that "i" personally wouldn't take coach brown's approach. how is that even remotely waging a war against coach brown? additionally, i would also suggest that i don't think you're very much "in touch" with a lot of today's high school athletes (especially low income or inner city athletes) cuz you paint every single college scholarship level player with the exact same brush in your previous post and that's completely "inaccurate". i mean, does being a college scholarship level player deem an athlete completely "IMMUNE" from using street slang? absolutely not. man, you can't "legitimately" paint every single college scholarship level player with the same brush, they aren't all "the same". and again, it ain't necessarily a matter of a college scholarship level athlete "knowing better", as you say. that's where the lack of being "in touch" with a lot of today's high school low income and inner city athletes manifest itself. some of those low income and inner city athletes speak street slang 24 hours 7 days a week 365 days a year whether at school, at home, or in the streets! and just in case you didn't know, some low income and inner city athletes are some of the very best football players in the country. so if you're automatically "dismissive" of those who use street slang, then indeed you are "reducing" the pool of african american athletes to recruit. besides, if you can't see anybody who is a college scholarship level player being completely unprepared to speak to a college coach, then why in da hail do you think coach brown found it necessary to transmit a tweet warning recruits what they should not say to him? since, as you suggest, nobody who is a college scholarship level player is completely unprepared to speak to a college coach, then it shouldn't be necessary to send out that tweet...

oleschool, why do you keep skipping the word INITIAL?
Also, I was joking when I said you were waging a personal war against Coach Brown. Hence the laughing smiley after the sentence.
Thirdly, I'm regularly in touch with inner city (and Baltimore is BAD) preteens and early teens. The ones that want to make something of themselves are all extremely respectful. The ones that don't, aren't.
Ultimately, you've repeatedly misstated what Coach Brown's actual quote says for whatever reason. I mean I quoted verbatim, and he did not state that he would not recruit anybody who uses street slang. As far as I can tell, once an initial relationship is established with the coaches, both parties will be using street slang to their heart's content. But initially Coach expects you to be prepared. Despite that you continually state he won't bother with any kid that speaks street slang. I don't get it.
I'll leave you to your opinion and leave him to building a football team that doesn't have the two recruits that exist on earth that don't speak properly to a coach in their INITIAL conversation with a member of the coaching staff.

dooms, the "initial" conversation is the "first" conversation and he stated that for using certain language during the "initial" conversation deems that recruit as "unfit" for his team. that is being "dismissive". otherwise, why bring it up in the first place?

some of those low income and inner city athletes speak street slang 24 hours 7 days a week 365 days a year whether at school, at home, or in the streets! and just in case you didn't know, some low income and inner city athletes are some of the very best football players in the country.
If they are some of the best football players in the country, then I don't think coach Brown's statements really matters because I really doubt, they would be choosing us over Alabama and Georgia. Maybe he is looking for those kids that are not destined for P5 schools.
