I never saw Sam Brooks in HS do what Bain did in the beginning of this year to an OL that probably has all P5 level players on it in IMG. It was a "Willie Williams 2004 state title game/Nate Webster 1995 vs Plantation in the Regional Finals" level performance. Dominant. Im talking "Warren Sapp...

Anyone who saw what he did singlehandidly to that IMG OL at the beginning of this season wouldnt be saying things like "Getting Bain would be a letdown if hes the huge shocker"...I honestly didnt watch not one more highlight or game of his after that. Thats all I needed to see. Kid is ELITE and...

Isnt he an EE? I think its getting about that time for the free vacations and free trips to come to an end and for him to saddle up and pull the trigger. ESD is in 2 weeks. It would make sense definitely.

Agreed. If he was 6'3 285 he would be the #1 DL in the country. But he is dominant and you cant take that away from him. I only saw him once against IMG and didnt need to see anymore. Completely singlehandidly took over that game against basically a college level team. You have that type of...

Agree. If his name were Rueben Jackson..I think the headline would be "4* DE/DT terror Rueben Jackson gives his pledge to Alabama. Saban steals yet another South Florida elite talent from UM. Yeah I just want to be apart of a winning program, compete for national titles every year and Bama is...

I just feel like Bain is one of those recruits that we would have to completely **** the bed for him to not come. Like he is going to give us every opportunity to win him over. You throw the MTSU loss out the window. Thank god we didnt lose any committed recruits over that loss. Because that...

Its always been a bandwagon city. And always will be. That wont ever change. But I love that about south florida because when a local team is winning..the whole city is on fire. Even the pathetic a$$ Marlins. lol

I agree they havent seen it consistantly enough. That UM vs ND game in 2017 was about as good as you can get for a big game atmosphere in this city. But to your point, these kids were in the 7th grade when that game happened. Amazing how time flies. That game was half a decade ago. Smh. Feels...

My only pushback would be that if your from a big city..this is pretty much what your use to. These kids in SoFla arent playing in front of packed houses every week. And there isnt this huge community following at 95% of the schools. (Dillard, MNW maybe a few others do..those schools that have...

I thought he was in that 2nd tier of DL on the board with the likes of M'Bemba and Jaxon Howard types. Wayne, Harbor and Wilson being 1st tier. He has clearly shown he is tier 1.

All I know is, when Tolbert Bain was on the Footballville podcast like 2-3 months ago and they asked him where Rueben Bain was going..he gave both Footballville cats a look like it would be another “Eric Winston” situation where the entire Bain family would turn against him and tell him he could...

LOL. Seriously? Come on man you know what I mean.

If Mario has a year like we had in 2017 his first year out..we will have a top 5 class and local kids will know we are legit and jump onboard. Alot of this has to do with wanting to see if things are really turned around winning wise. I think kids know the culture has changed. But has the "W/L"...

I dont think there is any kid Mario has ignored locally that the masses/community feels is deserving of a UM offer. Seems like we have covered our basis and mended fences...at least this cycle. I know some people might bring up Lamar Seymoure but if people are being honest...they know hes not in...

I dont think anyone is in panic mode. At least speaking for myself, I was just surprised he was so far up Bamas DE/OLB big board to be hanging out one on one with Saban like that.

Nick cant have a year where he doesnt get a Dade kid. Optics are playing a huge role here. Gotta keep a presence in that county. Cant have Mario completely shut them out of Dade and throw them out "Uncle Phil/Jazzy Jeff" style... Hes got nobody else that is seriously considering Bama in Dade...

I think Nick sees him as a prototype DE/OLB in his 3-4 scheme. Like a "Courtney Upshaw" type. Upshaw was about 6'1.5/6'2. You cant not see those stats he put up. Even though we know they are exaggerated, if he even did half of that stuff with the comp he was playing against, thats elite level...

Welp, there goes any doubts or questions about whether that Bama offer is commitable or not. Nick isnt doing all that one on one stuff for a kid who has a questionable offer.

Yeah this is like when there was this big uproar and nervousness around why Al Blades Jr was waiting so long to commit on CIS back when he came out.. It was a bad kept secret. And this is just as bad. Let the kid have some fun this summer though... Thats what summer is for. The pool parties...
