Some of you get butthurt for very small reasons

My point was simply that the Smalls news today has been trending this way for a while ... this shouldn’t be a surprise.

As for the comment of “wanting to be noticed” that’s funny ... I don’t claim to be a recruiting expert in any way, shape, or form ... I have far bigger things going on in life right now to even consider thinking in those terms

The idea of Smalls waiting until closer to the first Signing Day always seemed like the most logical ... happy it’s done with early

I logged in just to reply to the original "look-at-me I play zone at the IMA" blowhard.

JFC @Tequilla. Have you no self-awareness? Nothing worse than a know it all narcissicist blowhard.

You ruin the TSIO pod. Dennis, Coker and Wilbur should be the lineup. They are worth a listen.

You contribute nothing here or on the Pod but more autism awareness donations. Killer strength coach imitation tho 👍🏽👍🏽

Make like @HeretoBeatmyChest and beat it already. At least he can contribute (or carry?) his pod.

😘😘

This "who had the scoop first" bullshit is so fucking cringey!! LOL, none of you fuckers are making even $1,000 annually on your recruiting prowess.

Congrats @Baseman for a great take.

@Tequilla and @sonics1993 - no need to throw your two cents in on this. Seriously. Especially you Tequilla, fuck off forever.

Joey Thomas and UW have a good relationship. Don't understand where this narrative is coming from.

oooh, interesting!

so, was Joey Thomas supportive or not?

Is this just an easy narrative to blame someone then?

Joey Thomas was supportive of Smalls if he wanted to go to UW and it some false rumor that the dawgman staff spreads. Joey was just on UW campus talking with the coaches this past spring.

Joey did meet with the staff and probably told Smalls he'd support him if he picked UW. I also know he frowned on the OKG label, described it as elitist, and encouraged Smalls to take a hard look at FSU and I didn't get it from Dawgman

He told him to review his options which is what he should say, he didn't tell him to go a certain school and he didn't bad mouth Washington and tell him not to go there.

Clearly, you've proven you know a lot of the inner happenings of the recruiting office, I find it strange, though, that you know each side of the conversations between the coaches and Smalls, Smalls and Thomas, opposing coaches and Smalls, and opposing coaches and Thomas. Who said what, and when.

I heard different about Thomas. It may be wrong. I don't think so. I don't care. I don't get paid for this and have better things to do then debate TBS stories.

I made the mistake of dropping something earlier today followed by messages from upset TBS folks who claimed they had it first, last night, last week, two months ago. Cool.

I know the garfield coach that was in Smalls head and it wasn't Thomas. That garfield coach along with a certain family member of Harrison were running there mouth about UW. As far as how I get this info, it's easy I have sources both within the UW program and high school ranks. That's how I knew about Smalls eliminating UW before anybody and that's how I knew Smalls apologized to UW before anybody. Ask BTP, I told him back in July that Smalls called UW after running into them, apologized and wanted back in.

You were 1st, congrats. Feel free to share your information here more regularly. I thought you had left so I let these guys know what I'd heard. Sorry if you felt I stepped on your toes. Won't happen again

I wasn’t talking about a “who had it first”, sorry if it came off that way. Your info was correct and you nailed the summary, I just wanted to insert the Joey Thomas info because I think he gets a bad wrap thanks to dawgman. Sorry if it came off aggressive, that wasn’t my intention at all.

This is a very classy post

This x 100000

I love the pod with just DDY/Coker and Wilbur when he made a few cameos. Teq completely ruins the dynamic by interjecting with analogies to his career life and the annoying Feld impressions which were mildly funny the first time. Do us all a favor and retire from the pod for good.

Not a big podcast of any kind guy myself but the couple times I heard Teq’s Feld impressions they were pretty entertaining.
