Not enough for The Work and not necessarily a ton of new info, but I got more confirmation on a few things today -

**Lamont Gaillard will be here this weekend and Miami feels like he is flippable.

**Good chance Scarborough makes it for the official visit this upcoming weekend. No guarantees, but his unofficial was not just a get-away.

**Still no worries about Demetrius Jackson from Miami's side.

**Kaaya has given Miami no indications that he won't be at Miami.

**Almost not worth mentioning Valentine to Miami fans at this point...LSU

**Trending up with JC Jackson.

**Miami believes that Chad Thomas will stick, but look for them to turn up the heat in the coming days. They know that the FSU visit made an impression on him.

**As of right now, it looks like Lenius will be a part of this class.

**Miami is very much in it for Ross. Don't know if they lead, but his interest is extremely real especially after last weekend.

**They aren't recruiting any "back-up plan" types at this stage. The only prospects they are legitimately talking to are legit Miami kids.

Gaillard was suppose to be at UM last week too. UGA is doing everything possible for him to not make trip.

Also, if today were Friday, TV would not be visiting UM. LSU has a big lead.

I think it's safe to say that LSU has finished the race with Valentine.

Cook > Yearby > Bo

Yes, because Bama has long record of only recruiting 3rd or 4th best RBs. Perhaps you think Cook is better than Fournette also?

Shocking that you two would rain on everyone's parade. Isn't it more fun to be positive and think we are getting everyone and then come signing day we can all come on here together and mourn as one when everyone we want signs with FSU

Getting Bo turns this into one fantastic offensive recruiting class. He gives Duke and Joe plenty of time to heal and provides a hammer to beat Ds to death. By the 4th quarter, Duke, Joe and Bo will be running free every play. Takes tremendous amounts of pressure off our D; so much so that getting Bo almost makes up for losing TV. We are stuck with Al's defense and it needs ball control offense to work. Bo is that control. Duke and Joe provide outstanding distance potential.

I still want TV, but LSU $$$$$$$$$ have probably already delivered new cars to all his handlers. If Al can bring him back home and land Bo, we need to give him absolution for this years trash finish-- at least until the first 500 yard game.

Is the Golden flirtation with Penn State literally the only reason TV ain't coming? That's hard to believe.

I've got a bridge to sell to anyone that believes that it is even a small part of the decision.

Reframe this a little bit. For what we need in a RB given what we have on the roster--we need Bo more than Cook. Cook has the highest ceiling of likely any RB in this class, but Bo can help us right away as a bigger back with speed/agility for days...and he could still end up being a better back than Cook when all is said and done if Cook doesn't develop like we all think.

You can argue one back versus another, but the LAST thing I'd be doing if we somehow pulled Scarborough is *****ing about not getting Cook.

My favorite comment from Pete's update is no Plan B's! That has me feeling good as there is a lot of talent considering us and its time to get some positive upward program momentum leading up to next season's tip off.

Skai Moore laughs at this post.

If we don't get either...massive failure.

Gaillard would be a great pick-up, but I'm ****ed about TV regardless. We needed an elite DT recruit in this class, and he was it.

I would be very happy with Gaillard, he is an elite DT just like TV.

Pete what do u make of these rumors that Lane could come if Miami adds some more talent like JC and also if he gets slow played by FSU at the last second due to them getting another big WR.

Click to expand...

Lane is not coming

It's beyond comical that posters gave even the silghtest consideration to Lane committing to UM out of the blue.

Did you go to the Dan Dierdorf School of Journalism and major in Double Negative studies? Come on kid, you're a better writer than this.

There is nothing wrong with that sentence. And it's entirely appropriate to put it in the negative context, given the rumours that he may flip.

Nole80 only knows his **** when he says a player is coming to UM. when he says a recruit is going elsewhere, he's a dumbass FSU homer.

i am trying to remain positive but what is the attraction with Bo? is it purely a depth chart issue. he really has a good chance to play immediately here. a guy like him would help make our defense instantly better.

this guy is such a longshot that it's barely worth mentioning. don't get sucked into evaluating how he would fit into our offense. Posters are doing that on here in a vain attempt to forget that we lost Cook and Sony.
