This is a list that folks on Yancy Porter's board claim (I have no idea where it actually came from) was sent to the OM coaching staff from Scott Samsel,
football coach at Olive Branch. I was familiar with the guy a few years ago, though I don't personally know him. What does everyone make of this? Any
problems?
1. As head coach, my allegiance is to my players, not to any university.
2. Film is available upon the request of any university. I send film all over the country in most cases before it is requested.
3. In 25 years, I have never prevented any university from recruiting any of my players. All coaches and/or representatives of each university are expected to demonstrate integrity and honesty in dealing with OBHS' administration, faculty, coaches, staff, athletes, parents and community.
4. All contact with my players goes through me and OBHS. Phone numbers and addresses will not be given out until a written offer from the university is in my possession, unless a parent approves otherwise.
5. The recruiting process will be stopped with any given university at any given time upon the request of the player and/or parent.
6. All official and unofficial visits to any university are to be set up through me.
7. All school visits are to be set up through me. This helps me organize visits so that coaches are not wasting their time waiting on another coach to finish his visit. If you just pop in, that's fine. Just be prepared not to be offended if something else is going on.
8. All home visits are to be preceded at the very least by a phone call to me. 99 percent of the coaches I have dealt with in the past have come by to see me first, just as a courtesy. I will attend the home visit only at the player's and parent's request.
9. 100 percent compliance to all NCAA rules and regulations is expected.
10. We appreciate every opportunity that any university offers our athletes. With that being said, it is understood it is every university's privilege to offer our athletes or not. In turn, our athletes are not obligated to attend any particular university and their right to choose will be respected.
11. I will hold the university responsible for any attempts by school representatives, coaches, boosters, fans, etc., to undermine the policies listed above. Such actions will effect future relations.
