From what my ticket guy told me "highest in history"
Funny, your fans trashed Marshall a few weeks ago for taking these same type kids. Pot meet kettle.
FAU has 105 kids in camp and 5 of them have had legal or grade(only 1 has been arrested) 2 or kicked passed schools and went JUCO and two went to prep school. The 5 star kid from FSU has never been in trouble from what I heard from FSU fans is that he didn't cut it on the field and left.
The only reason any of this conversation is happening is because salty people like you want any excuse to pounce on Lane.
I am not posting because I am a salty fan, however, several things should be mentioned re: Lane. The statement that UT fans were upset solely because of how he left is only part of the story. His one year tenure at UT, that was good on the field, also involved the following:
1. A disproportionately high number of his recruits either quit or were kicked off of the team for various transgressions, ie Nukeese Richardson, Jantzen Jackson, etc.,
2. He and Coach O encouraged early enrollees not to attend class after Lane's resignation, so they could transfer to USC,
3. UT received punishment for the recruiting antics of several of Lane's assistants,
4. During his classless exit, he failed to mention it to one of his assistants who learned of it on the radio. The assistant? His brother-in-law David Reaves,
5. He wrecked a UT provided automobile while bar hopping with coeds, while his wife was at home with the kids.
I think Lane is a very good offensive coach, and if he has matured, could be a good head coach. But glossing over his immature and somewhat dubious past actions as the ramblings of salty or jealous fans of other teams, is naïve at best.
