Honestly, going back and looking at those posts, I don't think anyone understood why those players transferred in. It was Rocco, plain and simple. He recruited them, they weren't playing at their respective schools and it worked out for everyone. The only questionable one in the bunch was Vince Redd who has (quite obviously to those of us who are here) turned things around completely since he's been down here.
It seems like all of those statements were just ignorance taking advantage of an opportunity to take a shot at Liberty and our former chancellor. We've certainly never encountered that before.
Having said that, it's hard to blame them for their ignorance. It's not like our program was worth keeping up with until last summer, and even then it's only garnered interest from the most dedicated I-AA followers. So, in some ways, we've partially earned said smack.
