The other stuff Gabby wrote was interesting. Sounds like HommieG was flirting with other schools on the downlow and the staff said nah we good you can see yourself out. He also mentioned that basically Miami is always up front with recruits and will stick with committed guys through injuries etc so they expect similar respect in return.

Im guessing its a sliding scale, the better you are the more rope you get. Thats just life. But I also think its not only about talking to or visiting other schools but how honest and transparent the recruit is with the staff.

expected by me after the ford commitment. Linton is a project ot with upside but the next 2 ol commits we likely get will be elite levels. Makes sense for him to move early and secure one of his better offers.

This is accurate. They liked Linton but in my opinion he needed a lot of work. He struggled at the Rivals Camp.

Tyler Ford is further along and also has untapped potential.

At what point does National Signing Day disappear and is simply replaced with binding committment contracts that are not limited to a single arbitrary date? In other words, in light of the new era of recruiting, why not just give kids a binding contract to sign when they're ready to commit, regardless of date?

I know the history, the NCAA and that (generally) kids under 18 can't sign contracts. Just wondering why these archaic remnants are still around.
