re: Miss State LB Leo Lewis received $21,000 before National Signing Day from 2 SEC schools

Lewis: "Coach, the NCAA wants to talk to me about my recruitment. How should I handle the conversation?"
Mullen: "Just tell the truth."

Aside from all this, our compliance department runs a pretty annoyingly tight rig. With the whole Redmond incident they self reported all of it and self imposed way more punishment than he deserved. They reported the Cam shite, etc... 99% of the time it pisses us off because they could at least play it a little shady and probably keep a little dirt. I've bitched so many times about Brackey Brett (head of our compliance) bending over for the NCAA and self reporting everything under the sun.

This isn't one of those times, when the NCAA starts interviewing, just don't lie to them. Work with them, take your lumps when they come and keep them small.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised at all if we paid LL and the NCAA brushed it under the rug in light of a completely honest testimony.

If you're an OM fan, and you believe all of these leaks/transcripts are accurate, you have to choose. Did Leo lie or did State pay him? You can't have the cake and eat it too. If he was lying, why in the actual hell would he admit to taking money from State?
