#7 player in the country DT Justin Scott flips to MIAMI

Nov 29, 2023

Mario Cristobal has done it again on the recruiting trail. This time, flipping Justin Scott from Ohio State to Miami.

The Canes had been in hot pursuit of the five-star DT for some time now, even since his commitment to the Buckeyes back in July. The commitment moves Miami up to the #5 recruiting class in the country. Scott is listed at 6-4, 310 pounds.

This commitment is of extra importance considering the Canes could be set to lose Leonard Taylor to the next level, and Jared Harrison-Hunte is also in the process of making a decision

Btw, dont say i wasnt consistently saying i judge class in December. November/December is flip season. I will never go overboard with my concerns in the summer. Never while Cristobal is here.

Can we sticky this for all the '24 summer recruiting mopes?

From the Buckeye's site on Rivals, The Hurricanes continued to recruit Scott and his family and significantly increased their NIL "push" to a level that Ohio State wasn't going to be able to meet and, in this new era of college football, that's the most important thing on the recruiting trail.

We Christmas shopping now.

That’s always the excuse.

Who knows if it’s true, I’d reckon it wasn’t as large of a price discrepancy as they make it out to be. Usually sour grapes.

Squash that money nonsense. That's just an excuse. They may have threw in a sweetner, but Scott said it himself, "I reached out to coach Joe and told him I was having 2nd thoughts about Ohio State."

Enough said.

Yeah too many people came to believe that American 18 year olds care more about team success rather than $100,000’s in their bank account. Good luck with that.

He wanted to go to Miami in the 1st place. Mom wanted him closer to home which is why he committed to OSU. He talked to Mom and told her he really wants to be at Miami. She had a change of heart and gave her blessing.

It's not just about the money. Top recruits will get a big payday anywhere they go. There's a bunch of schools that can and do pay big. The difference now is we won't lose a recruit because of money.

Funny how ESPN has Scott rated as a four star and the fourth ranked defensive tackle. Jones is ESPN’s seventh rated defensive tackle.

You know **** well if Scott flipped to Georgia or Bama, he would be a five star and the top rated defensive tackle.

Those ESPN hacks…

People will say it’s because OSU lost to Michigan I can see the spin already from OSU fans. But if that’s the case then why is he flipping to a 5-6 loss squad? Explain

Hopefully for the same reason he should have committed here in the first place, hard to pass up being THE guy. Wish he was committing in December, but I’ll take what I can get at that position. We need Mario to turn DT around bad and start lining them up

If we finish with the #7 class with a 5-7 record and the #5 class with a 7-5 record imagine what class we’ll bring in if we go 9-3 next year

Next year is 10 wins or bust for me. The schedule isn't that hard. I think this year's schedule is harder and we could/should have won 9-10 games this year.

I think it comes down to QB play. If we get solid consistent QB play, it's 10+ wins.

Not gonna talk **** to the people that were melting down. I get it.

But it’s still Mario and it wasn’t December yet

Just talked to an OSU buddy of mine (I know I know) and they want Larry Johnson to retire

Sucks for him I pulled the receipt of them kissing his ring when they landed Scott in the first place
