Man I can't wait for football season to start. I'm looking forward to hearing you guys debating sports topics that matter rather than dissecting and analyzing every comment made by a coach. Let's just wait until he puts a team on the field and plays an actual game before we start judging his recruiting philosophy and coaching skills.

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. but that does not qualify you to paint "all" low income/inner city youth with the exact same brush and that's my point. besides, how do you know who wants to make something of themselves and who doesn't? have you personally "interviewed or counseled" all of those kids? have you asked all of those kids if they wanna make something of themselves? also, apparently you consider kids who use street slang as automatically being "disrespectful" regardless to whether the kid feels that way or not. again, many of those kids do not deem street slang as being "disrespectful". just like many african americans do not deem calling each other the n-word as being "disrespectful". you cannot categorically deem all kids who say "yea man, ya know what i'm saying" as "intentionally" being disrespectful if in their own minds they're not being disrespectful. what may be disrespectful to you, may not be disrespectful to others...

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. please read the statement without inserting your own "assumptions". my exact words were that "some" (not all) low income and inner city athletes are some of the very best football players in the country. i did not say "all". geeesh...

Why yall acting like you dont know? Dooms gets it and about 90% of yall get it. There is Stanford(which has sucked after 2018) football and then there is the 90s "The U". Which one you wanna be? Coach wants to be "Stanford". It's that simple. Why yall act like that aint A&Ts new image nowadays anyway? It fits perfectly with what A&T is trying to project now. Sorry if you dont like it, but that what we have become and/or are striving for. The Chancellor wants to be the only gangster at A&T. We boujee hood now. Minus "the hood" part, LOL

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? Pleez remember that Coach B said "probably". Words Matter. Signed, Word Police

Gentlemen your making Ant Hills into Mountains 😆
I have worked most of my life with at-risk youth and young adults and I tell you that these athletes understand the appropriate time to articulate and use proper manners when addressing others.
You can go back and forth on this all you want . These kids know the people that can use slang in a conversation with and the ones as my kids would say "This is a Slang Free Zone " they can not .
I think that some of you have been caught off guard because Coach Brown said out loud what is usually reserved for the coaching staff and recruiters. Most intercity HC,Parents want to see there athletes/child in a discipline and structured program , and being truthfully the athletes want the same thing..i.e THE Father figure that they never had . So stop this one upping crap because. Until you have actually spent some time in East Oakland, Hunter's Point, the tenderloin, Mission District in San Francisco, South Oak in Dallas,the Wards in Houston working with these kids on a daily basis as I have. I can tell you that a lot of you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to kids from disenfranchised neighborhoods and communities.
