By the end of my freshman year in Thomas I was violently defensive when it came to people ragging on Schultz. In retrospect, it could have been some variant of Stockholm Syndrome.
not my point but oh well.
disagree
pretty sure this guy's janitor said the same

sometimes a little attitude is what makes the difference
Journell could have been avoided so easily too with how small Giles is.
If you want the truth on a kid go the the lunch ladies and office assistants because those are the people who give these kids things. You see the a better picture of people when they are given things.
The best measure of a man's character is how he treats those from whom he stands to gain nothing.
Lost all credibility with @fauxpelini at #6 and not even top parody account.
I do get that. My point is, if the kid actually has a bad attitude, IDGAF if the coach wants me to communicate that to recruiters or not. The recruiter needs to know exactly what he's actually getting, and whether the upside in talent overcomes any character issues.
someone somewhere has probably had a bad interaction with you. if burden happened to talk to that one person would you think that would be enough for him to move on?
Agree to a certain extent, but isn't that a large portion of being a parent?? They're coaches, not babysitters. A slippery slope indeed. Coaches can definitely have a positive impact in youth's lives and help pick up some slack, but breaking a 18 year old jackass mindset/behavior is a 2 way interstate. The player needs to be open to not being a jackass in order to be able to be coached not to be one.
In other words, players that aren't named Marcus Vick or Cody Journell.
Outside businesses are not allowed to have food trucks on campus. Dining Services is the only entity with those rights. Found that out when I proposed the addition of a food truck to dining services a few years ago for a technical writing project.
Is it the janitor from Rudy?
yea trying to be a twitter investigation is not my strong suit. I will move along. You're words have been heard and understood
Then coach him to not be a jackass.
Can we really parse the full interaction of what happened in twitter? I think that the overall point is the most important. Character matters to the coaching staff. One flag probably isn't enough but this is probably the straw that broke the camel's back.
However for the benefit of the doubt, he may have heard similar and this was just confirmation.
Depending on the sample size, the janitor typically interacts with the students less then the office and lunch crew. Not making excuses or saying this kid is any angel but I would want more then just one guy telling me the kid is no good in a high school filled with students all with hormone raging attitudes.
If I'm a coach, I wouldn't want anyone saying my recruit has a bad attitude, no matter who they are.
Bill Hudson for the ones who didnt know
That list is way off. They obviously don't follow the right people. First off, Joe isn't on there and second how the hell was I over looked. It's all biased Bull$hit by E$pn!
But what is the character of the Janitor. Not trying to start something but I am a teacher and I feel like the janitor shouldn't be your first go to person. If you want the truth on a kid go the the lunch ladies and office assistants because those are the people who give these kids things. You see the a better picture of people when they are given things.

Love the approach, glad our program is looking for kids who treat everyone with respect and do things the right way

From a high schooler's perspective: the janitor sees everything. High schoolers generally don't filter themselves at all in front of janitors because they usually don't get us in trouble. They're also really the only group of people on the staff who have to go everywhere in the school in a week if not a day.
