That was a typo. He had been AWOL since Friday. And thats a fact.
No it isn't a fact.
AWOL is absent without leave. I know I went AWOL from the military to watch the hail flutie game.
A coach on vacation is not required to check in every hour with canes fans on blogs.
His boss said he had been in communications with him since the Shiit hit the fan, and that's why he made a statement Sunday instead of waiting for the Monday scheduled press conference or the Rose show.
So you are going to argue semantics? Recruits were trying to get in contact with him since as early as Friday and were getting stonewalled through Sunday. What is so difficult to understand? There's a reason why it's being reported that Powell reached out to UF and it's because Al wasn't taking phone calls.
Again, it's not what you think it's what you know.
Everything you just wrote is your own unsubstantiated belief.
Nobody knows Golden wasn't taking calls.
You ever think that the hysteria created on this and other sites, condemning Golden on innuendo alone, might have been a contributing factor in Valentine de committing?
These kids read these sites. You'd be a fool to think they didn't.
I love The University of Miami, and I'm not some young kid who uses the word "love" about everything.
I love my wife, some of my family, and The U. That's it for me.
As much as I care for The U, most of the crap I've read on here the past week would make me sit back and wonder about why so many "fans" hate the coach who is recruiting me.
I can't imagine how all the hate you people spew affects the mind of a 17 year old kid.
At the very minimum it would plant seeds of doubt.
