Inside the Red River Recruiting Rivalry

DonShula84 · Dec 27, 2008

But there is one place where the tension between these programs has long run even deeper: on the recruiting trail. And while the debate unfolded over the teams, another battle quietly raged in this quaint East Texas town.

The fight was over Jamarkus McFarland, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive tackle from Lufkin High School who is considered the state’s best defensive prospect this year and one of the nation’s most promising players. He is also a top student and the president of his class.

McFarland’s mother, Kashemeyia Adams, said she received numerous offers, including one for an interest-free loan for a former classmate, if her son were to choose Texas. She said she did not believe the offers were affiliated with the Texas football staff.

Along the way, McFarland was wined and dined. He visited the house of the president of Oklahoma, where he was promised a spot in the prestigious President’s Leadership Class. He rode in a Hummer stretch limousine in Los Angeles. He attended parties, including one in Dallas, where he said there was free alcohol, drugs and young women taking off their clothes.

Uhhh...recruiting violation? The mom does say that she didnt think Texas knew about any of the offers of gifts. Even so, the parties/drugs etc are still an issue.

The stretch limo at SC almost sold him lol. Glad his mom talked him out of that. Pretty interesting article. Mac Brown comes out worse in it imo.
