Sentell is misunderstood! It's not about Auburn at all. It's a much bigger question that worries him. He's concerned for the good of the game.

Shall i retort? Yes. I shall.

The answer is nobody knows what prompted his decision to leave the team. If a high school kid has a commitbable offer and chooses not to play high school ball to prepare himself for the next step how is that any different from a kid who has an opportunity to enroll at a prestigious academic program and leaves his school early to do so?

It might not be the decision I would make or the decision Iâ€™d advise my child to make, but Iâ€™m not in that situation. Whatâ€™s more important to Dee Linerâ€™s life, playing for his high school or graduating high school and having the opportunity to continue his education at a top-rated university on full scholarship? Maybe he watched Friday Night Lights and identified with Boobie Miles.

If youâ€™d had the opportunity to take a three-year apprecticeship at al.com and then have a likely multi-million dollar job waiting for you at ESPN or SI once you finished and you had to skip being editor of the Podunk High campus newspaper, would you have hesitated?

Whatâ€™s the difference here between players who leave college early to take a shot at the NFL? Or those who rush to graduate high school early so they can enroll in January?

You have no more idea than I do. And itâ€™s DEFINITELY not your job to get in the middle of his recruiting options. This is nothing but a thinly veiled assault on Auburn recruiting.

You want to talk about whatâ€™s most disconcerting in the recruiting process? Talk to Darius Philon who got bamboozled by Saban and raped on signing day. He could have signed with Auburn as he originally agreed, but he was scammed by that stand up guy in Tuscaloosa. THEREâ€™S your problem with recruiting. Itâ€™s not with a high school kid who is under a tremendous amount of local pressure (and yes, I do know this to be true) and for reasons you donâ€™t know has opted to extricate himself from a situation. Iâ€™m more worried about a college coach who treats players like cattle than I am a kid who has difficulty dealing with pressure.

You might not like the decision, you might fret over the precedent that could be set if high profile high school players start ditching their senior seasons, but you had zero right to call for colleges to refuse to sign this kid just because he offends your sensibilities.

BOOM!

Very well played. Although I don't cherish the thought of hs football becoming like AAU basketball or travel baseball--where a kid can take his ball and go home when he gets p.o.'d cuz the coach didn't play him--I think that it boils down to the college's decision. If they start taking a lot of prima-donna types, it's their own risk. The circumstances surrounding DL's decision are between he and CGC and the Bammerham news ain't in the loop.

Was he talking about before Material Girl?

When LaMichael Fanning did the exact same thing last year (quit his HS team), I don't remember the barrage of articles about what a thug he was.

It's ok to come up with this shit and connect the dots on this shit if the kid's committed to Auburn though, because of the "disturbing pattern".

Can we say the fallacy of the self-fulfilling prophecy?

I would highly doubt a guy with any talent or drive would willingly give up his senior season, and that this would set some precedent for "elite" or even lower-grillz prospects. These guys are never going to have it easier than being a high school senior, playing against 16-year-olds with lesser skills and fewer grillz - they'll never be a bigger man on campus than when they are a senior in high school. I suspect the writer quit way before 12th grade himself, and doesn't have that perspective.
