There are various rumors, as well as, some great information from various members of the board that helps better understand the situation at hand, as it relates to the recruitment of TY.
This is the information that has found its way to my ears. From my perspective, I have not doubt it is reliable.
1. Felton Young took money from a vendor for his son to go to Georgia Tech.
2. TY wants to go to Memphis.
3. His second choice is Arkansas.
4. Felton Young is going to return the money to the shoe company with the connection to Georgia Tech.
5. Felton Young is going to accept more money from a shoe company to go to Arkansas.
6. TY does not know about the shoe money as of yet.
7. Sometime this weekend, Felton has to tell TY about the money and the school - because TY is wanting to announce for Memphis.
8. Dad has put son in an awkard position.
9. Race was not an issue at any time, Felton used the smoke screen to eliminate Memphis because of the money he was taking.
10. Chances are greater that he will not be at Memphis.
Bullseye.

So, who has the big joker?
Hard to believe that a father that wasn't in his son's life for the first 15 years would ever try to come in and prosper off his son....so shocking
Ok...so what shoe company do we deal with and how much money do we need to ask to fork over to TY's dad to outbid the Piggies?
This Felton Young is a real piece of work....looks like he is going to cost us THAD b/c of his selfishness and greed. Just sad....

If somebody told people here about it, I would think it has gotten back to Thaddeus by now.

Nevermind the affect it might have on his son, or their relationship. Basketball comes after that.
I really feel for this kid. He's being used by those close to him. Tragic for him.
TY should get to announce for wherever he pleases, Memphis or not. I wish him well, this is going to be a long 5-6 days for him.
The Tiger coaching staff was very confident last week.
They are not so confident now.
That's all I know.
TY, if you are reading this, you are welcome to crash at my house this weekend if you would rather not be held hostage while your father and uncle negotiate a ransom.

:eek: :eek: :eek:
Just a thought, people might want to think about this...
Whichever school TY announces for on Monday still may not be the school he signs with in November. That's all Monday is, a verbal.
doesn't mean he still couldn't put his dad in an awkward position and announce for Memphis anyway - he has done nothing wrong and accepted no money, so if he can stand up to the pressure then he can still choose Memphis - agree that it doesn't look good though......

Bravo!!! Good stuff griffin!!!
Let's hypothetically extend the drama!!! Suppose the world's largest distribution company has an opening for a Vice-President General Counsel. Suppose, there is an attorney with a successful resume in tobacco litigation re-locating to this area. Suppose his credentials are impeccable. Suppose this attorney is hired by the company for a huge salary in the seven-figure range with stock options.
What one does with his money is his business? Is this illegal? Certainly not. Shoe companies versus distribution companies. It's like Wal-Mart versus Neiman-Marcus.
I'm not saying this will happen and I'm not saying it hasn't. I will say this. I UNDERSTAND!!

Hmmm... FedEx isn't the world's largest distribution company, but Wal-Mart in theory is, and Bentonville is near Fayetteville...
TY is going to ARKANSAS! :crying:
What happens when Heath is fired?

Well done and well put Griffin.
THIS is the story.
$$$ and shoes.
Not that a dad would want to possibly influence a son.
But would want to influence due to $$$ and shoes.
Bravo Griffin.
If this kid wants to play here, I hope he does.
