Any truth to this?

Post by WishBone »

I read on another board that Heard the 5* OL from LSU came to visit yesterday and was stranded at the airport for 5 hours and none of our staff was there to meet and greet?In return he notified Tenn coaches and said he was gonna commit to Tennessee.Dont know if true or not.

Sounds like horse hockey to me, but I have no idea.
that's just something I can't imagine would ever happen with our staff.
I quit reading other 'message boards' except for this one.

I listened to Parker Thune on KREF yesterday from 1500-1600. He talked about Zalance Heard. No mention of this snafu.

After seeing this staff recruit for the past 2+ years, any fan who believes rumors like this is just not thinking very rationally.

This reminds of the story about Yankee/Cardinal great Roger Maris. He was recruited by OU to play QB. When Maris arrived at the Norman train station, nobody showed up from OU to greet him. He went home and played baseball. I guess it worked out for Roger after all.

I am also reminded of DT prospect Jesse Mahalona (I forget his exact name). He loved his first visit to OU and wanted to play in Norman. He told me this as I flew on the same plane back to LA with him after his recruiting visit. Apparently Mike Stoops dropped the ball after that and didn't stay in touch. Mahalona committed to and starred at Tennessee.

I can't say I believe the story about Heard but you never know.

If you read through the various posts this boob has made on his feed you’ll see a strong pattern of nonsensical crap that he’s posted. Mostly sophomoric humor about missed flights, assaults on Holly Rowe, transfer portal mishaps etc.
I’ve seen nothing from our staff that would make me believe they would make a gaffe of this magnitude

PG said Heard had a good time during his Oklahoma visit. Starting around 2:00.

Also read it in a couple of other Ok recruiting posts that I cannot find right now.

The internet is full of stupid accidental misinformation.

The idiot tweeting that BS about Heard makes up stupid crap ALL the time. Anyone getting their panties in a wad over internet rumors deserves to be misled. Those believing known trolls need to get a deck of troll cards to learn who they are.

PSA dont believe everything on the internet…. Don’t believe all YouTube videos…dont believe all DIY YouTube videos…..

I have seen DIY videos on YouTube that tell you the wrong thing to the point you would damage the thing you are working on…..
