#1 to point out that we are getting our second option. They for sure had Holloman higher. Have you watched his tape? Much more explosive.
Smith ain't comin! Y'all fall for the banana in the tailpipe every time. Jk. He comin
You seen Holloman's tape? He's much more explosive.
Must not be to strong or he done committed to Miami . Dugan is another weak recruiter
I agree that Holloman is better, but we aren't getting him. Let's move on, no need to bring him up in every WR thread from here on out. Asking what could have been is pointless.

^^^^ exactly and it doesnt mean Dugan is a weak recruiter when Hollomans Mom obviously played a big role in his decision. Im just glad were in recruting battles for out of state blue chippers and they are really considering us. On to the next one
No they didn't smith was the highest ranked receiver after jeudy. Matter of fact holloman didn't emerge as a target until jeudy committed to bama

Latrell Williams a kid who was committed to him at a different school still flipped to Tennessee a few weeks later after flipping to miami
. Not to mention lost traction with jeudy too. Y'all talking about rumph recruiting his need to be looked at too..Is this a serious comment?

You're glad we're wasting our time trying to recruit out-of-state guys who have no real interest in coming here? Are you an idiot?
Smith is going to LSU I feel only bc they have a new head coach and can sell him on a new offense where they will pass it more than they have in the past.
Hope he's a cane but I doubt it and don't wanna get my hopes up

Smith is just as good of a prospect as Holloman. They have different style though. Smith is basically a Stacy Coley clone and would jump right in and fill in for him.
6'1'' and runs a smooth 4.45 with a ton of room to fill out. Holloman is further developed in his frame but Smith is going to be **** good too. We all knew how unlikely it was that we land either of them.
I hope the staff saw it, idc what Holloman was telling them we all saw it from a mile away. If they let Holloman play them then it's on them if they don't have a backup plan. I hope they had the 5 guys in line behind him in the plans.

this is where we're going to fall short, imo, and it's been my biggest frustation with WR recruiting this year. We put all of our eggs into the Smith/Hollomon/Jeudy basket. I have nothing against going after top kids, but when all your top targets are huge SEC targets, that's not setting yourself up for success. Now, we're left picking up the pieces with Harley and Dingle. Nice players, but backup plans.

Cannot miss on every single premier WR target (Jeudy/Holloman/Smith). Massive red flag if we can't pull blue-chip receivers when Richards is the only proven difference maker at the position on the roster.
So what basket should they have put their eggs in if not going for the top kids?
YEAH I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE TO LAND THIS KID.
HE HAS NOT MADE A POSITIVE COMMENT ABOUT THIS SCHOOL IN AWHILE......
WE'VE LITERALLY FAIL TO RECRUIT ONE NOT 2 OR 3 OR 4 BUT 1 IMPACT WR......... THAT'S A FAIL NO OTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT.

Our wr haul this year might be disappointing but personally I chalk that up to the fact that the recruiting for these kids started around ninth grade. If a school wasn't in the game three years ago, chances of getting a flip seem dim. I don't think playing for Al Golden was an exciting prospect for many elite wrs. I think many of the kids in S FL have love for the hometown team but still have to feel that the team will be competing for national championships. Maybe it's just the new car smell, but I sense that Miami is finally trending up and we will be in the drivers seat to get the best local talent in 2018 and 2019.
Every recruiting service has Smith rated higher than Hollimon.
Bama desperately wants Smith.
Smith plays against better competition and was identified as a blue chip prospect much earlier than Hollimon.
Smith seems to be handling his recruitment in a much more mature fashion.
Accordingly, I would much rather have Smith.

I think Lane Kiffin is the kicker on where these two pick:
Scenario #1 - Kiffin goes to LSU as OC. In this scenario I see Smith staying home. I think if he does go to LSU then we have a much better shot at Jeudy.
Scenario #2 - Kiffin stays and Jeudy goes to Bama and Smith makes a decision based on LSU's OC hire. Risk your college years on a new OC in a new school under a failed HC or go to Miami where Richt is tried and true.
