A link to krod.com? That is your source? That is what you claim proved your case? I don't know if that article even exists. I don't know if it was dated in April, oh wait, March, or in the late summer. What article are you talking about?

So it is one source of information - assuming int exists. CNN, Fox, ABC, etc can all cover the same story. That is one source.

Provide the article. The date of the article makes a difference. If this is the article which quotes Daddy Hamilton in the late summer then it is not a valid piece of information. Daddy Hamilton can say anything he wants at the 11th hour. The only fact, at this time, is Camp Hamilton requested a release in late summer. That's it. Whether Isaac wanted a McRib in June, whether he was illegally approached by USC in July, whether he wanted out in April, no make that March, doesn't matter. It is all back talk by Daddy Hamilton after the fact and in late summer.

Yep. In a timely manner too.

You are playing games now. Don't stoop to that level. What happened to all the local forums when word broke about the phone conversation? What was the only topic being talked about on "local sports radio." People jumped the gun.

He called Camp Hamilton and Coach Floyd said they were okay with everything. Coach Floyd's statements are timely and fit the timeline. Daddy Hamilton's do not. If Isaac Hamilton wanted out in April, no make that March, he should not have been tweeting he would be here in the summer as late as two weeks before class started. He had been tweeting about UTEP all calendar year long. That is fact. Back talk, retroactive talk is not.
