December 7th weekend visit updates

Dec 6, 2013

As we did last year, check back at this thread for updates, tweets, pictures. I will be updating the OP.

Friday

11:40 AM - Despite rumors that Ryheem Lockley would be here this weekend for a visit, that is not the case. I was told that the Miami coaches are still expecting him in this class and he will start out as a TE. If he does not make it on a visit next weekend, he might not be an EE.

Saturday

10:45 AM - Rumor floating around that Dalvin Cook woke up sick this morning and might have left his visit. That would be the worst case scenario for Miami, but I'm trying to confirm if that is true. (Check 12:05 update)

11:20 AM - I'm told there aren't any surprise visitors this weekend. The prospects expected to come made it.

12:05 PM - Dalvin Cook is 100% on campus and is "all smiles". A little under the weather, but he is there.

3:20 PM - Some updates from Practice regarding recruits

-Yearby was there talking a lot with Duke. Both are dealing with injuries

-Not really recruiting related, but Cook was wearing a shirt with a picture of himself in action and said "Dalvin Cook". Though that was funny.

-Dixon is 100% confirmed there. Dwyer won their state semifinal game last night and is headed to states

-McDermott, Gibbons, Darling all there

Sunday

11:50 AM - Allen Hurns walking around with Travis Rudolph and Johnnie Dixon

Here is a terrible picture of Al Golden with both Cook and Darling

4:45 PM - I will be posting a full report tonight, but here are some quick things I'm hearing

--Dixon moving the decision back is a great sign for Miami

--This will be a very tough decision for Cook and those close to him feel like he is genuinely torn right now.

--I continue to hear that Miami landing Cook would also give them a very, very good shot with Ermon Lane.

--After this weekend, Miami's chances with Rudolph rose drastically. Both of his parents want him here. Coley is in-homing with him today too

--Overall, staff felt great about everything that came from the weekend.

That was not a slight to Pete and Tito or anyone of the mods it's just annoying that irrelevant post are being made in this thread that is supposed to be about the progress of the visits. Just because it's not any news now doesn't mean you have to pollute the thread with irrelevant conversation. You can start another thread if your trying to do that. Just voicing an opinion.

So back in the late 1930's/early 1940's the Japanese government did not like the fact that the United States had too much control over the global oil markets. So on December 7th.... :manicrolleyes:

Never heard that the Global Oil Markets had anything to do with Pearl Harbor. Hmm, you learn something new everyday.

More like the clash of American interests with those of the Japanese. American imperialism versus Japanese imperialism and something had to give.

Getting back to the point, a day that will live in infamy, would not be a good reference for this weekend.
That reference implies very bad things occurring for us.

I'd rather the weekend be glorious than infamous.

Or we drop the bomb on Floridas recruiting class.

Actually, it was more than control of the markets. FDR imposed a series of embargos of essential resources aims at Japan and then froze their assets several monthis before Pearl Harbour. The announced reason was the continued Japanese agression against China. Conspiracy advocates would claim FRD was desparate to get into war against ***** and did this to force Japan into attacking us , with the hope Hitler was stupid enough to declare war against us. Japan wanted resourses of Asia and got in the way. Whatever the reason, Japan had to knuckle under or fight. They chose fight and got it. Hitler was stupid enough to declare war on us. The rest is history. The winners get to write history so there you go.

It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to know that Japan is an island nation with limited resources. They built their fleet from our scrap metal. They needed unchecked resource accumulation, and they hoped to whither the United States while our armed forces were generationally effete. It was a rare "aggressive act of preservation". That's the "whatever" in why they fought. Their window was diminishing from the moment their Pacific campaign began.

The "whatever" was intended as to whatever FDR's reason was, not Japan's. They obviously had no choice. That is the point. Did FDR intentional force them to war as the only way he could get into the war against the Germans?

What I learned today from this site:

There are a lot of Animal House fans here
There are a lot of folks that only have the vaguest idea of history
There is zippo info on recruiting right now

Did I miss any salient points?

Yeap. We are bored to death.

Only a few people know what "salient" means.
Most people would look at your arm and wonder where the IV line is hiding.

Once you go past 2 syllables you lose most Americans these days.

As for history. I went to grad school for medieval history and philosophy, and I'll never forget my 1st class on historical theory.
The professor asked what we thought was the most important event in American History.
I said the killing of JFK but most said The Revolutionary War.
The prof, who was English, said, "you mean The Rebellion of the Colonies?"

History, like recruiting is all relative upon perspective.

Something wrong with irrelevant conversation?

Most of my days start with irrelevant conversation, as well as 2 marriages.

They got The Stone of Scone back and beat England at the World Cup the same year.
All downhill from there.
