[QUOTE="Title, post: 1568857, member: 5476"] Again, facts are very important. James Knight was set to go to a Mac school before McGee offered him. McGee was told don’t offer unless you plan to take him because he is not close to Jeff like that. James was happy to go to his Mac school until McGee offered. No one asked for James to be offered and ESL staff wasn’t a fan of him going to Illinois. he really wouldn’t touch the field. The entire staff what shocked when he got playing time as a Freshman. This is why no one mentions Mr Knight. What is mentioned however, is the lying to Estes about playing QB and getting him to transfer from Minni to get Jeff! Estes was No 1 on the depth chart at CB for Minni before the dream of him playing QB resurfaced at Illinois. All to get Jeff. Estes had to go to Juco in Cali to get re-establish. Like I typed earlier, there was a lot more to his tweet to Cory. He mentored Cory and asked that he look out for his guys. The Estes thing happened under Cory while being told not to do it. Unless you know the relationship it’s hard to have an opinion. Noticed he never tagged Lovie in his tweet to Cory. You also have no idea how hard he pushed for AJ to go to Illinois and not Texas A&M. It somewhat became an issue with the family. They felt he was saying that he couldn’t play at A&M and took it personal. It is what it is! Just know the facts first before passing judgment! [/QUOTE]
