Hilarious...

Alex Collins' letter of intent taken by mother, sources say - ESPN

 

[yankeeND]

That's pretty crazy. I would hope my mother and father and I could have come to an agreement before something like this happened.

I thought I read somewhere that his coach was his legal guardian? But I guess that doesn't make sense because his coach could have signed the LOI and avoided this whole mess.

Apparently they're tracking down his dad to have him sign the LOI.

Pretty sad situation when your mother is nowhere to be found and you have to "track down" your father.

This kid actually lives with his coach and is 18 years old, meaning Collins does not need a co-sign. His mother is just trying to get her 15 minutes of fame. Pretty pitiful if you ask me.

Just send another LOI and have him sign it. She's obviously an idiot. I'm starting to understand why he wants to go to school as far away as he is.

Yea, he should sign with USC.

Well they have room and no O-line so I'm all for it.

Pretty sure I read he lives with his coach, but his mom is still his gaurdian. Also that he was only 17, so she did need to sign.

May be the case, but the mother is acting like a child. Period.

Absolutely agree. Just glad we aren't the laughing stock today.

That's gold.

but everyone saying he is 18

Yes he is.

Just what I read. Sad, but even funnier if he is.

Which is worse, moms taking letter of intent or moms signing letter of intent:

Alex Collins' mother won't sign letter of intent to Arkansas Razorbacks - ESPN

The National Letter of Intent, according to the NCAA's official website, is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and an NLI member institution. "If you are under the age of 21, regardless of marital status, your parent or legal guardian must sign the NLI in order for it to be considered valid," the website states.

I stand corrected. But this lady is a regular drama queen. I mean I can understand not wanting her son to go that far but to act like a psycho is not cool.

 

[Irish#1]

And then we have Eddie's mom.

 

[k1ssme1m1r1sh]

I heard his dad signed for him. My son knows he gets a letter of intent that has the words "ann arbor" on it, and I will burn it up. No just kidding. The mom in this case was a total A-hole.

Alex Collins has 418 yds, 2 td, and 6.0 ypc in his first 3 games at Arkansas. Granted they were against Louisiana-Lafayette, Samford, and Southern Miss but still it appears that this kid is the real deal. ould be scary good.

He will be shut down for the rest of the yr. Gave my nephew tickets to the Samford game, and it was 17,21 samford was winning in the third. The Arkansas team is weak man. True he is the best player they have. When they play the rest of the yr you will see you need blocks to run.

Best freshman start since Adrian Peterson!

Ha, I've already told my wife that if our son got a scholarship to Michigan, he's not going under any circumstance. She replied "Even if it was the only scholarship he received?" I said "If he gets a scholarship to Michigan, he can surely get at least one from Miami (OH) and go there instead."
