Who is this Kenyatta Watson guy?  Seems he has some haters according to the responses on that forum. Does he actually coach somewhere or is he a just a street agent?  Charging 125 for an off brand middle school "exposure" camp is exorbitant being most those things are about 40 bucks. 

He is a Dad to a shorthorn CB who is a good ball player and has been accused many times for recruiting kids to grayson while his son played there. Now he is at USA in some capacity. Many here, mainly sowegans, aren’t big fans of his. They deem him as metro and as a big part of the “recruiting” problem. I met him one time and he seemed like good people to me. 
 

A georgia friend sent me the link and asked what I knew, which is nothing. 
 

While I agree $125 for a MS day camp is really high, they apparently had many buy in. Whether people like him or not, I don’t know he has helped a lot of kids get into college.

 

We will see but if he has an opportunity to go to CFB he should take it.

There’s a rumor saying kenyatta watson was offered and accepted a job as director of player personnel, or something along those lines.

Also, I’ve never been on that board before, but man Was it entertaining.  The posters there have even thinner skin than we do here!

True. One of the mods would ban you if you went in against cc. He’d claim libel and lawsuits, even if you stated news that was public knowledge about rush. He deletes a few threads of mine because I dared say I though Burrow and O were Every bit the duo fromm and kirby were. This was in September before LSU ran roughshod and emasculated the pups again. 
 

It was quite funny. Some still would rather take fromm over burrow, but that’s the jawja in them. 
 

The watson thing is intriguing to me. Be ironic if all of those haters now had to cheer for him because he was working for the pups.

He knows his stuff. That’s why dubble d and GSB hired him. 
 

speaking of.......does anybody know if he is actually under contract and being compensated by USA? That would be a good reason to leave if he wasn’t being paid.

I know Kenyatta well. He is a good man. I can’t speak in the USA academy thing because I have nothing but my own opinion on that. But as a person Kenyatta played ball at Boston College. His oldest plays for Texas now.  He is formerly the recruiting director for Grayson. He was the SE recruiting director for the Under Armor All American Game. He also organized the Tru19 game a couple years ago. He knows and is known by every college coach in the country. He has helped a TON of kids navigate the recruiting process. He puts kids with talent in front of coaches. He would be a huge pick up for any team as a recruiting director or in a personnel role. He has even helped some of our Colquitt County kids. He did just host a middle school camp at GT. He hopefully made some money on it, but what he does is not a money grab. He really does identify talent and steers them to college programs that will be a good fit for them. The opportunity for exposure is there for anyone, but the ones with talent are identified.  He didn’t get his rep amongst college coaches by being shady, and just taking peoples money. That’s not him. I can’t say anything bad about the man at all.

I agree. 
 

But we both know that many of your cc brethren have badmouthed the guy for years. They have their reasons. Whatever. 
 

Kenyatta knows talent and is good at what he does. 
 

I have to say, I didn’t know grayson had a “recruiting director”?! 😂

Idk. Probably not. Get together a staff, and "negotiate" for weeks on end while you try to get kids to pay tuition thinking they'll be coached by CRP, KW and the gang. If the tuition doesn't hit, then you just claim negotiations fell through and there is someone waiting in the wings. 

Seems like a distinct possibility.

On a more serious note... Somewhere Dustin DeVaughn is posting a surprised emoji in a three way group txt with GSB, and KW. 

I hope KW does get a job like that, he'd be good at it, and is probably deserving. 

It could be negotiating tactics against DeVaughn too though. Assuming the same type thing that happened with Rush is going on with KW that is.
