[QUOTE="Madison Grant, post: 164746, member: 823"] Just curious, Iv20gt, do you know Jackson, his family or high school coaches personally? Because you seem pretty confident that Jackson didn't lie or mislead our staff about visiting FSU. I've always been under the impression that is why we pull scholarships from commits- because we have it on pretty good authority that they are lying to us or hiding from us about taking other visits or have plans to commit to another school the first chance they get and have led us to believe otherwise. And I'm not maligning Jackson personally. There are many players that go to factory schools like FSU that are decent kids. But to act like because we had one Reuben Houston that we don't shoot for a higher standard of kid is using an isolated anecdote as proof of a trend. Yes, we have some kids that get into trouble. One or two get dismissed every year seems like. But FSU, UGAg, Tennessee, LSU seem to have a trend of having much less of a standard for screening on personality basis, and put a much greater emphasis on athletic ability. In the case of Jackson, FSU did a good job of finding him, as they did the other OL from South Georgia (forget his name) that got drafted this year. Neither were particularly high profile recruits, but the Noles managed to find them. [/QUOTE]
