With all these people that work at LU or have inside info, how come we still don't have any clue if Phill Sims is an actual possibility? Or just some dude spitting out school names to a Richmond beat writer..

Phil Simms is a super bowl winning quarterback and tv analyst...if you're gonna hate on the school at least know your quarterbacks guy...

In reference to your point, you won't hear anything substantive until after he signs someplace lest we possibly get in trouble for tampering...

That doesn´t work with football. A Little thing called the ¨Bear Bryant rule¨ was initiated by the NCAA when Bryant had like 150 players on various kinds of scholarships, most of them booster funded. Now no matter what kind of scholarship you actually have, if you play football it counts against the NCAA limit, which for FCS is 63.

Olldflame is probably right on that. we were able to accomodate Richardson because of the Aldreakis Allen situation (by the by, he is now on the CFPA Awards watch list at running back...Allen that is)

Additionally...jlread you have to be a troll because no person with any sense can be as mind numbingly unaware as you are sometimes and downright stupid other times...

I was offered a Citizenship Grant at a D3 school coming out of HS. The only 2 questions they asked were 1) Are you a Christian. 2) Have you ever been CONVICTED of a felony?

BJ, it may be time for you to take an extended break from FlameFans. Avoid the personal attacks.

And jlread's suggestion isn't entirely without merit, BJ. So why don't you just shut your mouth?! The vitriol you spew at others by name calling is absurd. I'm not sure why its permitted here, but that's not my call.

Ask coaches in all sports around the Big South about the advantages Liberty has to recruit non-qualifiers. The "preacher scholarships" come in real handy then. Just saying...

I've tried to keep my peace for the most part re: jlread but even shuk makes an effort to contribute to the board at large these days, which is an improvement, jlread just spouts off knowing he hasn't put an ounce of thought into the implications of what he is saying. I'm not saying that dissent is a bad thing, but even the people that offer criticism of try to have some semblance of balance...that and I am highly allergic to people of his ilk.

No harm done here, but if I was in a business meeting Id probably have security escort you out with your stapler....Hahaha... My point earlier was simple, Liberty gives out Bazillions of random scholarships, if the kid needs scholarship money he needs to know he can get a Mack truck full and walk onto the team if Gill even wants him!?!? Right?

Well then you should have basically suggested that instead of suggesting committing a potential NCAA violation. anyway, we really won't know for sure the level of interest of the coaching staff until they comment and you won't hear anything on the record since theu can't comment on potential recruits

Really? That's a serious question? I mean it worked for Adolf Rupp back in the day, but that's a huge NCAA violation. Probably 'Death Penalty' worthy.
Educate yourself on at least the rudiments of NCAA rules.

The NCAA is a private organization that can make it's own rules. This is an NCAA violation, you can't argue it. There's not really a gray area.
