Sorry fellas trying to fix the ****le
DT To Miami
Man ****, I will fix it when I get home, Sorry my phone doing its own thing!!
Who cares why he committed to Maryland. He's got offers from Clemson, South Carolina, Tennessee, LSU, etc.
Maybe he visited Maryland and liked it. Ever thought of that?
Durkin has locked up a few all american commits. thats like saying if Latrill williams is so great, why was he committed to USF.

Regarding Martin...
I gotta wonder how a stud D-lineman in Alabama failed to gain offers from any of the big colleges in that area. Other than his South Carolina offer the rest of the list is pretty pedestrian. No Bama, no Ole Miss, no LSU, no Mississippi State even.
Like I said, I have faith in our staff. Just an odd pick-up to me, that's all.

MAcho your a vet you should know better then this...You know dam well them offers aint commitable
Exactly lol. LSU has like 5 or 6 top Linemen committed. No way he could go there, or Clemson or Tennessee.
You're touting Thompson, but he doesn't have a Big 3 offer either.

No, I don't know that, and neither does anyone else on here.
People (on here) were saying the same thing about my boy Dowels when he had offers from TAMU, Oklahoma and Clemson but chose Syracuse. Those offers were 100% but he genuinely liked Cuse.
Not every kid chooses his "biggest" offers.
Yeah, but he's got offers from schools of the same caliber. I don't put too much stock into a kid not having offers from our Big-3. Our state is over saturated with talent. There's no way the Big-3 can offer/sign all of them.
My guess is...he's not exactly a "stud". Probably more a third tier recruit. I think he's a nice prospect, but I think if you look at him, as a prospect, the indicators seem to point to him being more of a developmental prospect for a big school. Mizzou, despite producing some very good defensive linemen of recent vintage, aren't exactly taking a ton of four and five star kids. The players that have excelled there, outside of Sheldon Richardson, have been developmental prospects for the most part, and I'd throw Martin in with that group.
Miami, this cycle under Golden really swung and missed. Richt showed up and made a valiant attempt to get in on some bigger prospects, but fell short, so, you get the fall back to one of Kuligowski's guys from Mizzou. I'll take Martin as kind of the last possible option of offers since he gets that nod from Kuligowski, but I think your concerns are valid. We really needed at least one interior player this cycle though, and at this stage of the game, you're essentially looking at reaches anyway.
Thompson is definitely interesting, but he and Martin are about the same caliber, IMO. I think if you take both, you're kind of loading up for the sake of loading up on players that aren't exactly Miami-quality. The eyetest shows neither being much more than rotational guys in an optimal setting, but we'll see. I'd hate to see another South Florida kid get away and succeed, but I think these two are a push when compared.

Well said. He's just a solid guy who can get upfield a bit and fits the scheme. Next year they will aim higher.
I'm more excited to see what McIntosh, Norton and Willis can do.
SYracuse over Clemson??? You phucking with me Macho??
Macho u Crazy man
Clemson wasn't playing for National Titles at the time. I'm more confused as to why he didn't commit to Oklahoma on the spot and/or didn't even take a visit to TAMU.
