January 15, 201412 yr I'm not going to judge him because I only care about his on-the-field performance but Elam seems to rub me the wrong way a lot. I think there are a lot in this camp.
January 15, 201412 yr Fant deleted the tweet he posted about Elam which started Elam's rant. Correct. However, it's part of the gig. Ask Drew. He got killed this year on Twitter.
January 15, 201412 yr Fant deleted the tweet he posted about Elam which started Elam's rant. Did anybody capture the tweet before it disappeared or know what it said?
January 15, 201412 yr Did anybody capture the tweet before it disappeared or know what it said? I saw it. Something about getting dominated in the Army game.
January 15, 201412 yr I saw it. Something about getting dominated in the Army game. The BG/JH rivalry. No love lost I guess.
January 15, 201412 yr Note: I don't follow the kid on Twitter. I actually don't follow any high school athlete on Twitter. Sees weird. With that I saw a RT where he complained about the all-star game and how it was run. So.... I ran into Drew Barker the other night, we got to talking about the game. He mentioned something about Elam not liking the way they wanted him to announce his decision.
January 15, 201412 yr The BG/JH rivalry. No love lost I guess. All it is, 17-18 year old seniors being just that....17-18 year old, and needless to say, not thinking. But, just a little trash talking.
January 15, 201412 yr Apparently now some of Elam's practice gear from the Army All-American game popped up on the second-hand markets. Elam has definitely been keeping reporters busy over the last bit.
January 15, 201412 yr Author Apparently now some of Elam's practice gear from the Army All-American game popped up on the second-hand markets. Elam has definitely been keeping reporters busy over the last bit. Just so hard to believe that he gave it away and now people have $300 dollar price tags on it. But he's innocent until proven guilty.
January 15, 201412 yr Just my thoughts on Elam. Great potential but a head case constantly needing attention! Maybe he will settle down once he arrives at UK
January 15, 201412 yr Just my thoughts on Elam. Great potential but a head case constantly needing attention! Maybe he will settle down once he arrives at UK Or Bama.
January 15, 201412 yr Somehow his game worn Army All American gear ended up on Ebay, after he gave it away as a "gift to a teammate locally." Hmm.. Maybe Bama wouldn't be an end all for my UK friends? I will say something about Elam and I really wish I didn't feel this way. This started during the year and only continued throughout the post season awards and the Army All American game and then afterwards with his remarks on twitter toward N Fant. Sorry but Elam is and has come across a punk. His tweets I heard about and then read myself after the fact sounded like they came from a real punk. I now hope he goes elsewhere, UK can do better. Not a fan of the kid and that is a shame because I want all KY kids to be succesful and make me proud of them. I haven't felt this way about a kid since Zeke Pike. It's a shame that Elam is now in that same group imo.
January 15, 201412 yr All it is, 17-18 year old seniors being just that....17-18 year old, and needless to say, not thinking. But, just a little trash talking. I disagree. It's easy to just brush it off as 18 year olds being 18 years old. But that is a cop out in my opinion. 17 or 18 years is old enough to know what class is and what being a punk is. People need to quit coddling these players who are constantly getting out of line and admit if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then most probably it's a duck.
