Francisco Mauigoa (signed)

• TBD - 4-star DB Conrad Hussey

 

Concentrate on Maugio. His name has been nowhere recently which worries me. cBs are a dime a dozen. Oline has been our biggest issue.

im about to get so ******* angry in here and curse so much enough for a month ban if y'all dont stop crying over nonsense

 

I don’t think Mario/Ruiz allow money to be an issue. I think this is a simple last minute cash grab. This the last time any recruit will have the upper hand in the negotiation.

 

This doesnt compute for me. Mario has a top 5 class going 5-7 with 20 years of suckage and he's not great in the portal while signing a class we really shouldnt be signing? Virtually all of the portal kids we brought in played and contributed.

You know who doesnt use the portal? UGA and Bama and anyone else at the top of the food chain.

Cormani is a 5 star CB from Lakeland. Were lucky to be in the conversation let alone have his commitment.

I suspect this gets taken care of but our fanbase going from 0-120 mph over everything is pretty standard.

Can't blame our fanbase too much. We have a long history of being on the wrong side of these recruitment stories to just expect the fanbase to not expect the worst.

 

I knew Bryant wasn't going to waiver....

this was a rumor fans started just like us getting Williams from UT.

 

Just for optics alone, you don't let yourself get outbid here.

 

I get it but what has he proven as a coach at a D1 level and sending kids in the first round?

Nothing but that part gets drowned out by the fact he is Deion. His personality is also bigger than life type as well.

They don't?

Thought some of the top performing players the last two seasons at least for Bama came via portal

 

We got so many defensive backs coming in, we had posters thinking about running 1-3-7...

Cormani is committed and thats I how stick with it.

Let’s just lock him down and celebrate. Then pilfer the portal to build a monster roster and celebrate again.

 

Sounds like Deion trying to make a big splash of Hunter and Cormani as his starting DBs,. Wouldn't be surprised if he threw basically a majority of his initial NIL at Cormani to make this splash.

 

That makes no sense

IF "figuring out the situation" just means give him more money it makes sense.

He’s relatively slow in the portal. See 2022 WR.

Let’s not lose our top recruit on signing day: that’s Manny, Golden problems - not Mario problems…

 

Sshhhh. Guys. This is CIS. You can't be disappointed at the fact that our highest rated recruit and the #1 CB didn't sign today. You must only proclaim your personal toughness and how this is the best class in America with or without him.

 

They don't?

You're right. They're RB1 Gibbs was from the Portal

Does Colorado have an NIL game? Will Barstool support him in Boulder like they did an HBCU?

 

I am the greatest cover corner to ever play the game, I will develop you and turn you into a star. Now nevermind that being the best doesn’t mean you can actually teach or develop but that is the sales pitch.

And ignore the #1 overall recruit I picked up last year who hasn't developed a lick under my coaching.

AND everyone….I mean everyone, had to see this coming…

 

He’s in California and can’t sign until 11:01 ET …

Correct. LOI rule is signee's local time of 0700.

Disappointed? Lmfao

We havent though. I 100% hear you.

Drama with 18 year olds though is nothing new.

Gonna see how this plays out. Screams hand out.

UGA and Bama most certainly do use the Portal...
