Yep, Kerney. Kearney commits to F$U while on Archer Road, before he even hits I-75... https://www.canesinsight.com/threads/gator-tears.118500/post-5932319

This is the quote here, not exactly what you quoted, but its important for reference so I'm linking it here. I think this applies to DT, LB and CB recruiting. https://www.canesinsight.com/threads/we-have-a-signal.178253/post-5937448

They feel good about every recruit...before they go elsewhere. After that, they weren't a take. They felt good about that dude that committed to FSU from the Gators parking lot.

I added both "Big Baby" and Terrance "Mean" Green to the DT board thread. Thanks. https://www.canesinsight.com/threads/dt-board-2023-edition.178380/

There actually is a third option I forgot. Updated the question: Was Manny lazy, did he just hate recruiting or was he naive enough to think that not contacting recruits would make it impossible for them to commit? I can't see how option 3 is viable, but I couldn't see a legit P5 Head coach...

Yea, I didn't get a warm fuzzy when he said it and I think he realized that too the moment it came out because he then went on to say that he could definitely live in Miami with no problem, just that small towns were his preference. We constantly have posters on here saying how could recruit...

Small, college focused town. Sorry for not being clearer. OP updated.

Interesting question. Probably would be worthwhile to compile a list and see the hurdles Mario had to overcome. Some of these are repairable, others won't be. I know that 5* DL Hicks visited for Paradise and then never heard from Miami again...

From what he said in the interview, Mario had offered him previously, he was just angry at Miami based on how Manny dissed him so he never mentioned it in his twitter timeline.

If your theory is correct, doesn't explain why Hixon didn't follow up either. From all we've heard previously, Hixon was an excellent recruiter. Hall says Hixon was responsible for his section of Florida.

Its not like @Torocane didn't just tell me earlier in the week that Manny's recruiting was worse than I remembered. But still, this is ridiculous.

Gotta get back on my soapbox for a bit, this really frosts me. Was Manny lazy or did he just hate recruiting? Kid clearly felt disrespected and Mario really had a mountain to climb to fix the damage.

Was on the Sabastian Lane show tonight. Link will play starting with his interview. Explains how Manny dropped the ball in his recruitment, how Mario fixed it, how Darrion Owens (coach) has been in his ear about the Canes and how he got the nickname "Big Baby"

Junior Highlights Clips from @Paranos in the 23 DL thread

Originally offered by Hixon and Manny but no one EVER followed up! Common theme ala Hicks but let me stop beating a dead horse. Said he stopped considering Miami after being treated like that. Re-offered by Mario and the Canes, UGA, FSU and UF are the schools most aggressively recruiting...
