nagahide13 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 This might be controversial... but I would be incredibly hesitant to draft someone from Liberty. The school itself is a potential character concern in my eyes. Religious schools in general aren't a problem, but that one is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I agree completely with you on the administration of Liberty college, I think you have to separate the students from the administration and more specifically Falwell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of anything regarding Liberty before - what is your concern specifically with Liberty (as compared to other religious schools)?

Have to be careful when discussing this, but it is an extremely conservative religious school started by Jerry Fallwell. Have to avoid politics and religion here so can't get into details.

LionArkie Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Falwell is crooked. Has nothing to do with the school, or religion, he just is. Google him and you will see/find all you need know. I also have several friends who went to Liberty, and they condemn the school (because of Falwell) as well. So.... To be specific, Falwell Jr is crooked, I can't speak of Sr. Edited October 20, 2021 by LionArkie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players end up at religious schools all the time just to play a sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean - there's a ton of guys who have gone to/graduated from major colleges who can barely string together a proper sentence but excel in sports. I can appreciate that someone would go where there is an opportunity to try and achieve their dream playing professional sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but typically, if you are going to Liberty, you don't plan on playing much after college so you should play school, and have some sort of idea what your school stands for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an evangelical and very conservative school so it's obviously dangerous territory. I don't really have a problem with either of those things, however. I hold the opinion that the founders, many of the faculty, etc are 'con artists'. I worry that a student that chooses to attend Liberty does so in order to intentionally follow the footsteps of those con artists or might just be susceptible to them. It's just a character concern (*in my eyes). It's not something that I would rule a player out for, but I would certainly do a little extra digging.

If the character if a school was a concern, a lot of programs wouldn't have players drafted (Baylor, Florida, State, ect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so young. I also read an article some where saying they had to game plan against him more as they can’t run right at him. The different looks and moves he’s never seen before. I’m super confident he’s going to figure this out and be legit. I agree. In the Bengals game he showed improvement. Much of what he is getting blamed for is because others made mistakes. Goff dropping back to far. The centre collapsing. I agree with you that he will get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also definitely do extra homework on any player I thought might have some baggage. I think Liberty is far worse. I think it's a predatory university with predatory faculty.

One thing to consider: Malik WIllis was recurited by Auburn and played there for two years. He may have moved to get playing time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think Willis being at Liberty is more a function of him wanting to start, not getting that opportunity at Auburn, and choosing to go play for Hugh Freeze in a spot where he could start.
