January 29, 201214 yr Never came back to this. Didn't realize my response was demanded. All I said about this was that she knew and not to blame the kid for not making her aware. After reading the story it seems I was correct. I don't think this is an apples to apples situation to Poole's though. It does seem that this kid's father supports his decision. We'll see after he gets in campus what happens. His mother's feelings stem from feeling stereotyped by Saban.

January 30, 201214 yr I know when there are important decisions with my sons we discuss them. If my son is being shopped to schools for me to get money I'd think there would some talk or the choice of the college he will attend. The school is more important than one kid, go on and make your Mother happy and go to LSU.

You honestly think he should base his college decision on what makes his mother happy, and not what he wants?

If my son is being shopped to schools for me to get money I'd think there would some talk or the choice of the college he will attend.

January 30, 201214 yr I'm not following. Who was being shopped to get money?Cam Newton had to leave Florida, and wanted to be with Coach Mullem at Mississippi State, his dad admitted shopping him, and got paid by someone. There are before and after pictures of his dad's Church. So, my point is, they never talked about this? NCAA said if they did its a problem, so what does Cam gonna say? It was in the papers a while back.
January 30, 201214 yr You honestly think he should base his college decision on what makes his mother happy, and not what he wants?Well there is a lot of comments on his Mom being unhappy and that he has until Wednesday to sign. Why is there such a backlash?
January 30, 201214 yr I don't see this as a big deal, only reason people are making a fuss out of it is that it was on national tv. I am sure there are many kids who choose a school that their parents disagree with for whatever reason. Should a kid consult with his parents? Yes! Should a kid go by solely on what their parent thinks? NO!
January 30, 201214 yr You honestly think he should base his college decision on what makes his mother happy, and not what he wants?No, but now his Mamas coming out and saying that Coach Saban gave Landon's girlfriend a job in his office staff and she said "this is a violation". She also has some issues with this girl in the past. Ever see the show Baggage? But he has said today he is still coming to Bama and our people said there is no NCAA problem with the student getting a job. She had came to Bama before Landon. What a Mom...

January 30, 201214 yr I wonder if Mama was taking classes from Cam Newton's Dad but "forgot" to tell her son she was doing so!
