November 7, 200619 yr Larkey's not to happy about it... Veteran Rockcastle County coach Tom Larkey won’t mince words about the way the University of Louisville treated his senior lineman, Brad Durham. “I thought it was one of the most unethical and sorriest things I have ever seen done,” said Larkey. “He did everything they asked. He committed early just like they wanted. This was a very unethical thing to do.” Coach blasts UL for "unethical" decision You are correct coach :thumb:

November 7, 200619 yr Because there is of course no bias there:rolleyes: Yeah and no bias "back in the ville" either...
November 7, 200619 yr But don't you think at least the head coch should have called and told you they were pulling the offer. . For a coach who people question when it comes to being upfront and honest, the fact that he didn't have the cajones nor common courtesy to call this boy speaks volumes and only supports what most people believe to be true.
November 7, 200619 yr Explain... I don't see that as needed. The Florida Everglades that is the Rock field in November says enough...
November 7, 200619 yr I feel for the kid....but major D-1 football is a business, obviously Petrino and Co. feel that their interest is best felt somewhere else. Yeah it blows for Durham, but he got enough notice to go somewhere else, likely UK...Heck UK ought to thank UL for getting a ticked off teenager that will do anything to exact revenge.
November 7, 200619 yr Pitrino is a thug his team is full of Thugs, he has a I'll do anything to win attitude, mark my word Loueyvull will fall hard here in a couple years. Its a classless act to pull an offer after its been made and Durham should thank his lucky stars now instead of finding out later after he's wasted half his career up there in that cess pool. I hope he finds a team he wants to play for that needs him and wants him he'd sure look great in Blue. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :jump: :jump: :lol: :lol: Thanks for the laugh......seriously...thanks... I know the abundance of thugs that come from the northwest...
November 7, 200619 yr I'm sure there would have been a call for him to transfer if Doho took the spot he was "promised"...

Larkey said he would end up at UK
November 7, 200619 yr Ram2003 Thank you for at least understanding the scope of this decision. Look, UoL might have essentially "cut" a player in order to get someone better. I respect the idea of getting the best talent possible. BUT even the most ardent UoL fan has to understand what this means. It remains to be seen whether or not this is something that is confined to the likes of us hardcores or has wider implications accross the state. Keep in mind the facts of THIS case. This young man is from rural KY. He worked hard, had the chance to join an awesome program, (and Lousville is guys, its time to embrace it and act like men) and subsequently was stabbed in the back, for lack of better anology. Will this result in a statewide shift back toward the University that represents this state? I don't think anyone can answer that. I will say this, and I will say it as an obvious UK fan. Petrino is a GREAT coach. UofL fans are so lucky to have a guy who flat understands the game as he does. But IMO, no program can risk the being labeled as a canibilizing program who will turn their back on their own recruits if someone "supposedly better" comes along. IMO, this is a bigger issue than "This is just business guys" Especially with in state kids, we are not talking about 23, 24 olds entering the business world. We are talking about teenagers making a promise to a team, in hopes of being a part of that team. I will listen to any argument made with an open mind, but comon guys, this is NOT GOOD for Louisville instate!
November 7, 200619 yr Did you read the article? Sure did. He's going to UK if his HS coach is right. I've still yet to hear of an offer...
November 7, 200619 yr Sure did. He's going to UK if his HS coach is right. I've still yet to hear of an offer... Said he chose UL over UK so I just put 2-2 together
