"Lol" that you think you know better than Mario how to handle commitments.
Yeah, it's got some weird levels to it.
I guess that I would say...if you were told your zipper was down...you'd be extra-careful to make sure it was up...
After people gave Hayes Fawcett a polite "heads-up", I'm not sure why Hayes is doing what he's doing, but he's doing it. Repeatedly.

Yep. And we were doing so well lol. As mentioned in another thread, I understand and I had someone ask him again wtf. He said it was the only one that worked for a side by side pic
(yeah, he doesn't get it). He's not anti-Cane or trying to diss. I think he's just an artsy kid who I don't even think gets the insanity and sensitivity of CFB, why this would even matter to someone. The fact that he used a CFP pic shows how out of touch he is. It's a total facepalm, agree. Anyway, it's been explained to him again, this time a little more slowly and in small words why it triggers people. And now we wait again lol.Completely random coincidence that happened more than once? After it was supposedly "explained to him"? And never happens to other schools. Common manYep. And we were doing so well lol. As mentioned in another thread, I understand and I had someone ask him again wtf. He said it was the only one that worked for a side by side pic
I just googled Hayes Fawcett commitment edits and went through the random top 20 images... Freekin Northwester State even has fans in the stands! Guess it was easier to get their stadium images than it was for Hard Rock
Bruh I was leaning on your side when this issue first popped up. Like I thought you had zero reason to lie and it truly could have been a misunderstanding/oversight. I also like to give people the benefit of the doubt.Yep. And we were doing so well lol. As mentioned in another thread, I understand and I had someone ask him again wtf.

But now? I am firmly on the other side lol. If everything you said is true and someone did put him on notice and the VERY NEXT EDIT he makes has the same issue? Nah. Either he lied to you from the get go or you completely made this ish up about the contact with him and I am leaning towards the former.
Also, if what he said is true, he couldn't find a side by side pic to work then why not 1. reach out to you or whoever gave him the other pics or 2. abandon the stadium clip all together. **** it wasnt even a miami game, it was a pic that must have been an hour before kickoff or hour after the game ended for a national championship game to be that empty. Now I could theoretically be convinced he could not find a MIAMI game that could work (I would still want to understand why) but to tell me the only pic of a side by side is a 75% empty NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game that happened to be in our stadium? **** get a dolphins game photo, get a superbowl photo from when hardrock is used, use a full house pic from the CFB championship. You cannot convince me searching any one of those three would not get one hit that he could make work.
Yes. There's a distinct lack of images of Hard Rock. It has only existed for 35 years and there are not many events held there, so pictures are as rare and precious as diamonds...

All I can say is the early reviews on Dawson is FUEGO
Oh, yeah, Hayes is doing this intentionally now since fans have called him on it via Twitter. Purposefully made the IMG crowd more densely populated here.
The question I have though is this even a fight worth having?
That's the part that's craziest to me. Img has plenty of games where barely anyone shows up cause it's not a place where the locals come support. 8 out of 10 you'll just have parents in the stands or around the track and then the visiting teams are national teams so they don't usually travel well either... So this dude put in the effort to find a PACKED img pic than uses a pic from us at a game that wasn't even ours FAR before kickoff. I get alot of people might not see this as a big deal. But those people don't realize how these kids view their commitment edits. They hold on to them for life. Yet this is how buddy puts us out there on a kid who WILL BE TOP 3 at worst at his position if not overall. Just not a good look.
Oh boy.
Well let me be clear. I personally couldn't give two ***** about the pic in a 3rd party commitment graphic on twitter lol. So there's that. I don't know the guy at all either, as stated. As I said, this weirdly came across my desk and I had an opportunity to give him guidance on behalf of everyone who caught feelings on this. I was happy to oblige to do a good thing. What happens after that, I've no control over.
FYI I believe there were five commitments (this was the 6th?) since it was addressed so no, it wasn't the "VERY NEXT EDIT." In fact the Shavers one avoided showing a crowd at all:
And I would think if he were looking to troll you he would have called him "3-star Vincent Shavers..." cause that's low hanging fruit with how sensitive you all can be.
And to repeat, he was spoken to again yesterday. As I said, it *feels* to me like he's just an artsy out of touch kid who doesn't get that there are fruit loops in CFB who trigger so easily. He's just about the look. He doesn't GET IT. It's being spoon-fed to him. I don't even get the feel he has a team or is really into sports. He's a designer.
"I thought you had zero reason to lie..."
Wait you think I am LYING about something here lol? Like I am in on some anti-Cane conspiracy? Hey, maybe you're right! Watch out lol.
This ******* place. I can't believe I wasted my time on this ****, I'm going to have like 11 pics from the 4th Q of the MTSU sent to him just to see your heads explode lol.
Oh boy.

lol sorry you are correct, I meant edit including a stadium. Maybe there is one with the photos you sent but I have not seen it. Which also parlays into my initial point that if he couldnt find a full pic just use something else. Palm trees or whatever.
And nah I was just saying I saw people coming at you when you initially relayed this information you appeared to stumble upon by chance. It was like people were coming at you and I am saying I disagreed with that approach as IMO you had no reason to lie about what you heard in passing.
Then it has snowballed where you are the only one I guess defending him? Like not outright but saying its not a troll, not intentional, just an artsy kid etc. Therefore you now get the CIS wrath. We need to bring back the ***** gauntlet.
Oh boy.

Cool but did I miss what this has to do With chance wanting free Mickey dees in Gainesville?
@TheOriginalCane
I'd say it is untoward at best. Why bring that into this young man's moment when you aren't even family/friend?
Just feels wrong ya know?
****** all around! And I am not "defending" him. I don't know him. I don't care. I simply relayed what my communication with him yielded, and what the vibe I got from it was. Gave my opinion. Which I'd bet money is accurate, fwiw. But who knows?

Yes you did, re-read it a few times and it will pop out like one of those scrambled illusions in the paper you have to hold to your nose and then sloowwlllyyyy pull away.
Agreed.
As I said before, it's not a capital offense. Death penalty is not in play here.
But I also don't understand why Hayes Fawcett would not want to do right by EVERYONE involved, from the recruit to the school to the fanbase.
I'm trying not to be too harsh towards anyone, and I can respect "artistic intent". But at a certain point, you want the best possible photo image. Nobody uses an incredible picture of a rockstar emoting...to a half-empty arena. It just looks like ****, even if the lighting was perfect and the color was balanced.
I already said this to @Brooklyndee , my old college roommate is CaneShooter. If Hayes needs pictures...JC has pictures...
I got love for everyone. But at a certain point, I'm not going to defend (or put up with defending) a guy who refuses to take a gentle hint.
Come on, Hayes, do the right thing here.
So I literally asked this board for pics to send him, and all I got was maybe two responses with the same few low res ones that I found on twitter and google etc too. There really isn't a lot out there surprisingly that works well for an edit. Not defending him, just stating what I saw. Caneshooter pics are most welcome. I will happily pass them along! Let's box him in with product!
