Statement from Angela Means-Kaaya

Oct 2, 2013

Miami's prized QB commit Brad Kaaya was offered by hometown UCLA yesterday, which has caused some Hurricanes fans to worry about the level of his commitment. Brad will not be doing any interviews for now regarding recruiting in order to focus on his senior season, so here is an official statement from his mother, Angela Means-Kaaya, on the status of her son's commitment to Miami:

"Brad is committed to The University of Miami. It is a great staff and a great opportunity for him to become a man away from home. It's his decision, but he'd like to get through his senior season. UCLA had very valid reasons why they didn’t invite Brad to the dance, we get it. But now Brad is in the middle of a very important season that needs his attention. In essence, he's a ‘Cane that just got another offer. He's not running out of a door to run into another one. He has some HS football to play."

lol "at this time". again, separate the recruiting newbies from the long time followers.
how about "brad is 100% committed to UM and while we respect the offer from ucla and respect any coaches or school who recruit brad, but brad is firmly committed to UM."
I don't do contracts, but my word is stronger than oak.

My final take on this is simple: I trust Al.

It's always easy to tell the idiot, inferiority complex, newbies to recuirting vs the vets.

Ahh, he got offered and is goign to leave - AHHHHHH Miami can't hold a recuit that has been w/ us and recruiting for us for months, all because UCLA offers lol. Get a grip ladies.

lol. not what I said, at all. I don't care either way. we will be fine if he leaves. hope he comes. same stance as franchise. it has nothing to do w/ inferiority complex or Miami holding a commit. we've had kids recruit for us for months who didn't sign here.
you are the idiot if you don't think there isn't a good chance he signs w/ ucla and don't see the comments the way us recruiting veterans do. stick around, newbie.

So you want her to say, he is committed to University of Miami even if Al Golden is not there, the sanctions crippled the program and James Coley is no longer my son's OC?
Please get a life. Your own son, if living in California, would not want to fly across the country away from home for a coach like Coker or RS.
Fans can be so illogical it is not even funny.

Look, I am not saying he is 100% coming here, he may well stay home, but the woman does not owe fans anything. Leave their family alone!

Yep. Dudes think they're macho when they come on here and start spewing that "You guys are such pvssies and whiners" rap when, in fact, this is a valid topic of discussion. The vets have seen this song and dance a million times.

Guys are struggling with reading comprehension in this thread. They think because we pointed out that the Kaayas haven't come out and said "Brad is 100% committed to UM, and nothing at all has changed" that we're scared of UCLA. Fck UCLA. They haven't done **** in 60 years, and they'll always be 2nd fiddle in their own city to USC.

Kaaya and his mom are both doing the huckabuck soft shoe dance here, and it's obvious to anyone with a brain. He might still wind up at UM, but to act like they haven't changed their tune toward UM once Mora got semi-involved enough to call them is living in fantasy land.

When's the last time Brad tweeted to a fellow recruit pumping up UM? He was doing that **** very regularly before Mora got semi-interested. Maybe he's still doing it, but that would be one of the first things I'd look at.

MiamiManiac is another genius addition to CIS. Bringing a lot to the discussions. Which site did he flee from on his balsa raft to float up on our shore here at CIS?

He will probably stick in the end but his recruitment is definitely not over.

The Kaaya's are clearly considering UCLA, or at the very least listening to what they have to say.

They haven't said they're 100% committed because they're not 100% committed at this point.

I think its pretty clear that the Kaaya's are keeping their options open. Are they still committed to UM. Of course. Do they have things to think about now that one of the local schools have offered? Yep. I don't blame them nor do I care. When his season is over with, he wants to weigh his options. I have no qualms with that.

Anyone saying that's not what's going on is delusional. I think 5x and Franchise are on point on this one. No one is panicking or giving *****. They just understand that the Kaaya's are looking at all of their options and leaving the door open to a potential change of heart. How anyone can dispute that fact is beyond me.
