Its not.  Read the whole thread.  That's what makes this intriguing.

Several coaches of different teams have agreed via twitter, and/or have liked the tweets involving this story.

Oh, OK sorry. I have not read the more recent submissions. I will look at it more thoroughly tonight. Thanks for the tip.

I would think that every D1 coach is going to leave some "wake" at the HS level when they don't recruit the coaches favorite player. It is inevitable I would think.

Boo hoo... We've had 2 winning seasons since 2011. If he expected RJS to be sold out this year, he's to blame for unreal expectations. Anyone who's been at the stadium the past few years knows its not

Willie T was always a snake in the grass.  I'm glad he helped rebuild USF and thank him for that, but you could always tell he was a snake.

Yup, every coach goes through it at some school/schools for different reasons.  CJL/USF wasn't welcome at Largo HS, CSH at Manatee etc etc.  For programs like USF relationships can get contentions fast because the HS coach feels a certain player should be recruited by them and the college coach disagrees.  The HS coach feels slighted or feels he's insulting his player/talent evaluation and you run into these rifts.  Then by the same token coaches at some of the programs down play USF to their more elite players because it looks better on them to have their kids end up at SEC schools etc.  Recruiting is a crazy business.  It's rare to see these rifts go so public.  So there has to be A LOT more to this story on all sides than what's in this article.

I would imagine a lot of it would be a combination of the "Baymade" promotion and the fact that we recruited Immokalee and Sarasota/Bradenton so hard rather than Plant, Armwood and some of the more traditional Tampa schools.

Willie did what Willie needed to do and it worked out just fine for USF.  Willie also is best friends with Jim Harbaugh, that's all that really needs to be said right there.  Any best friend of Jim Harbaugh probably has quite a bit of A-hole in his personality.  I've met Willie a few times, seemed like a very insincere guy.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
