Good news for Riley. Great news for Tenn. This kid is much better than Cristian Lemay.
Bad choice, Dooley on heat seat and has been very questionable in his treatment of recruits, that being said this kid is a real talent with a bad attitude and no parental up bringing at all...........
Remember guys, this is a kid!
I bet they are celebrating this tonight at their mint hill residence...........
Just because you live in mint hill doesn't mean you're not in the Butler District. Know your facts before you post ignorant comments.
no you guys "live" in the butler apartments while you are really zoned for indy where your actual house is, stay classy and go get another tat, best team "assembled" that couldn't win a title last year lol
Did UT have to promise to accept his brother as a walk on??
Somewhere Vanilla Ice is smiling, busters lol
Riley is a good kid, he will excel at UT and I have spent much more time with him than the bozos that post here and really your still on the apartment thing let it go
I've spent much more time around him than I ever wanted to and trust me I wish I could be refunded for it, as for the apartment thing cheating is cheating people need to see the tarnish on Butler's program, you are the only clown posting on here coach......
To 10:17, every single kid in Mint Hill is zoned to Indy...though half of the Butler seniors still livein MH. This will be their last good year. Next year the shenanigans are over.
I can only go by my personal experiences and if that makes me a clown I guess I am but im not the one bashing a kids
Coach don't take the moral high ground not exactly a Butler trait, how about Butler fans cursing at Indy players? is that bashing, sell your pseudo high ground somewhere else, from now on Butler gets back the treatment they have condoned.......
to 8:20 the first step is admitting it lol
Happy cheerleading to both of you guys. Get over the apt thing. Its done. Get over the youth football thing. Thats over also. Riley is the best QB most will ever see.
Riley is a great kid and his family has taken more than their share of grief from idiots like those posting on this board calling them names...all anonymously of course. Best of luck to Riley and his family..enjoy this moment!!
to 1108, get over the apt. thing? Really? You must remember people do not like cheaters...and those with bad attitudes. Wait until Uriah and Peter get nominated for the shrine bowl. riley's family is going to freak.
"Common" Butler fans, You have taught your children to be cheats, to lie, and beyond a disrespect for sportsmanship, don't be surprised when they grow up to be what you have taught them to be, ironic message for fathers day........
Best QB Most will ever see, Really you been watching him play??? Three years ago when they won title Langston could have played QB with that running game and defense, Last year had a great year of throwing GO routes to his brother though does;t read coverages at all, He may be the Best QB Most will ever see on the UT scout team assuming he can handle reality.......
We will be here from now to call Butler football what it really is.......... just warming up
Come on people...get a life. I'm not a football fan, but obviously this kid has some talent or he would not be getting full ride to Tennessee. If you don't have something possitive to say then shut-up. Congrats Riley, I wish you the best.
Wow....read the article....its about a young man receiving a scholarship. Congrats Riley.
749 you are not the comments police why don't you shut up?? this is a free country and we will call out these cheats every time they are celebrated at the observer, this article is about celebrating the scholarship (well deserved) of a kid who along with his teammates are cheating the CMS residency rule to win football games, whether Sue Doran is too lazy to do anything about it or not...........
Will Butler "raid" the remainder of East Meck's roster with the coaching instability over there???
Is there a reason you keep calling me coach? And fyi the Ferguson boys live with their mom at get apt and their dad has a house in the mint Hill area
At 1255 you do realize the kids dont have a say in it why are you condemning them for the actions of their parents
Can't wait for the season to start.
We gonna hang 70 on Indy.
To 2:24 Next he will call you Lieutenant Dan!
2:24 why are you a coach? apartment is a sham common knowledge come on man, I'm totally condemning the parents (all of them should be ashamed for teaching their kids this is ok)
maybe you should be called (lots of options here...) "Mr/Ms Living in Denial" because reflecting on the scummy behavior you are teaching your children would require reflection and the capability to change it.........
To the "angry" Independence fan.....if you only realized how stupid you appear. You clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about.
And talk about glass houses...just how do you think Independence won all those titles in a row a few years back? Did Mint Hill somehow have the market cornered on talent back then?
I've never coached football a day in my life and I don't think staying at a school you already went to makes you scum, no one complains about the parents that do this for academics besides if you can somehow afford to have an apartment and a house why shouldn't you get to use both addresses for schooling
Cheating SCUM.............
So you admit using the apartment as a phony address nice, this is the first step to closure, now go to turn yourself in to CMS and take responsibility and finally set a good example for young minds.......
That's not what I said at all , don't put words in my mouth and I don't have kids to do that for , maybe one day we can all strive to be as perfect as you,and I set a great example you know nothing about me you ignorant fool.no one complained when knotts openly recruited players from other schools
Sure you don't, you posting from mint hill or the vacant apartments near Butler, Cheaters often try and deflect by changing the subject, see ya soon in the coming threads.........SCUM
