Why did he not get his scholarship renewed?


The rest of the story:

HOOVER, ALABAMA - Trent Domingue didn’t give Les Miles enough time.

That’s, at least, according to the LSU coach.

Domingue announced Wednesday that he was transferring because the program (http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_96347eb8-4954-11e6-81a1-9b79cdd17fe0.html) did not renew his scholarship, but Miles said Thursday that he would have likely found a scholarship for his starting kicker by August.

“It was a one-year award. By way of a one-year award, we did not renew his scholarship for the next (year),” Miles said. “Really, all I told him was to give me a few days, some time, and we’ll make this work. I could not resign him until the day before the first class so, but that’s just how I did it the year before.

“He was probably going to end up with a grant-and-aid,” the coach later said. “He never came here with a promise of grant-in-aid. He walked on. He competed, did what he was supposed to do and he earned a grant. I told him, ‘If we’re in a position where we have a grant, it’s going to be yours.’ He just didn’t want to give me time to do that.”

I saw a write-up from an LSU board that Miles had been catching hell for having too many specialists on scholarship, and even though Domingue was the starter, he was the one to go being a senior.

They also are bringing back DT Travonte Valentine from JUCO and that factored in to the numbers.

An interesting, but very sad, twist to the story is their other kicker Delahoussaye was hospitalized this weekend after being in a car accident that killed kickers from Nebraska and Michigan State.

And Les Miles was basically on his way out.
Not that hooking up with Strong is entirely safe.

We really need to have a legitimately good year with a take charge Strong and a contract extension. I can't help but think back to last year and remember how lost Strong looked on the sidelines during some of those games.

[Jimmiemac]

The way it's looking, KU and OU better be looking over their shoulders, cause Shaka is starting to build something very special.

How about Jamie Dixon at TCU, incredible start in coaching staff and recruiting.

[spankadelphia]

He doesn't have the strongest leg, but he's pretty damn accurate from 45 yards in and automatic on extra points. Looks like Gamble or the freshman Culp will be taking over for LSU.

2018 S Caden Sterns (Cibolo Steele)

smart offer by texas. sterns is a bad ass. he has five star potential. he is part of the reason why steele would have a chance at being able to get to the state championship this year. his brother is at OSU though so my expectation is that he winds up a cowboy.

[texas4ever]

Will probably end up being one of the most exciting players to put on a Longhorn uniform, in a long time on offense. Him and Collin are going to be fun to watch over the next 3-4 years.

They are very good players. The reason you never hear much about them, is because they get drafted out of high school and never play a game at Texas.

24/7 says one important prospect who did not make it to Austin last Saturday night was 2018 RB Craig Williams of Crosby.

He is believed to be a top priority for UT and possibly the best RB in the state for his class.

[TFloss32]

A few quotes from newest Longhorn, CB Josh Thompson of Nacogdoches (24/7):

“Basically, I just feel at home,” Thompson said. “I have a great relationship with the players and the coaches. I really like the atmosphere there. It’s just a great place overall.”

“Coach (Jeff) Traylor hits me up all the time,” Thompson said. “He shoots me texts back even late at night. We have a great relationship. Coach (Clay) Jennings is a great coach, and I’ve known him since he was at Arkansas. He’s straightforward and tells you what he means.”

“It’s really cool knowing that we are going to play with each other again,” Thompson said. “He’s (Brandon Jones) a really good friend. He just told me that I’m going to have to go in there and work for what I want.”

[TFloss32]

A heads up that OL Xavier Newman, DE Taquon Graham, LB Anthony Hines and CB Kobe Boyce are scheduled to attend an OU recruiting event this weekend.

However, as of today, it seems only Newman is for sure going and he is on flip watch.

“Honestly, right now TCU is the Rice of the mid-2000s and A&M is the Texas,” David Pierce told Ryan Autullo (http://www.hookem.com/story/texas-baseball-notebook-david-pierce-renovation-plans-roster-stadium/) of the Austin-American Statesman on Wednesday.

those commits are fun to brag about but reality is they are meaningless. Top 5 pick in the draft next year if he keeps his weight under control and flipping commits shows he isn't focused on a college program nearly enough to keep him from signing for the money.

Report: Baylor Coerced Rape Victims Into Silence By Threatening To Punish Them For Drinking
Quote:
Baylor rape victims say the university told women who attempted to report their assaults that their parents would be informed of their alcohol or drug use under the student conduct code and in some circumstances were themselves charged with code violations, according to the Associated Press

Baylor’s student code banned dancing until 1996 and only last year removed “fornication,” “adultery,” and “homosexual acts” from its official list of misconduct. Victims say Baylor even punished women who tried to report assaults that happened to other victims:

One woman said her case began when she called police to report a physical assault on another woman at an off-campus party. Police demanded to know if she was underage and had been drinking, then arrested and reported her to the school office that investigates conduct code violations, she said. She told Baylor officials her drinking was a result of being raped a month earlier and detailed what happened in person and in a letter.

She received an alcohol code violation and told to do 25 hours community service, and when she tried to appeal, the woman said Baylor officials urged her to drop it. The school never pursued her rape claim.

“I was told by many Baylor staff that they couldn’t do anything for me because my assault was off campus, yet they had no problem punishing me for my off-campus drinking,” the woman said.
Universities are required by federal law to investigate sexual assaults, whether they happen on- or off-campus, and feds informed Baylor in 2011 that its conduct policy may have a chilling effect on sexual assault reporting. Being caught drinking alcohol is cause for expulsion under Baylor’s student conduct policy.

Pepper Hamilton’s report cited the policy as “creating barriers” to victims reporting their assaults, due both to fears of being punished and those of parental informing.

A few quotes from 2018 DT Shabazz Dotson of Cedar Hill (24/7):

“I think it was one of the best camps I had all summer,” Dotson said. “When it came down to the 1-on-1’s, I felt like I did really good. I feel like it was a great camp. I showed what I could do.”

“He (Coach Haley) was different from other defensive line coaches,” Dotson said. “I don’t know how to explain it. It was a different vibe. He had some good things to say about me. It was a good feeling.”

“I really like Texas,” Dotson said. “I like the stadium. It’s big. I like the colors and the tradition behind them. I can’t really say what I want to see from them this season. Just win.”

Temple defensive end Taquon Graham might not be a Texas lock after all. According to a source, Graham had an ‘A-plus’ visit to Oklahoma over the weekend, and the Sooners have made up a ton of ground with the four-star prospect. And as mentioned, there is a heavy OU influence in Graham’s recruitment. This is clearly bad news for UT with his decision nearing.


Graham visited Oklahoma this weekend, and from what we were told the Sooners made a major impression on him. Stoops and company rolled out the red carpet for Graham, and we were told Oklahoma made a move in his recruitment. it was stressed to us that the visit to Norman was big for him. We’ll continue to monitor the situation, but what once looked like a slam dunk now appears to be more of a contested layup.

Big update....Coach Mattox said today in media availability that OL Kent Perkins is going to start at guard in camp.

Perkins playing inside at his more natural position would be ideal, but that would mean Hudson, Nickelson or Okafor would have to solidify themselves at the RT spot.

Quite possible the OL has two true freshman starters for the second year in a row.

He will meet with the UIL in about two weeks because he's turning 19 this fall and he has to clear up any potential eligibility issues.
