Second best option would be Mims going to Jackson State. The FSU fans and staff would would absolutely lose it...and it would be glorious to watch!

Whether the staff was engaged with Mims already or not, UGA leaking that wouldn't change how hard the staff pursued him. So a leak like that would only impact Canes fans' perceptions, not that of the staff.

Exactly...and it's not even something that is a valid basis for bashing him.

Can't tell if trolling or you just finished huffing spray paint before you posted that.

Of course it's a loss. What it is NOT is an indictment on Mario, the staff, or the program as some are implying. Kids and their families have different priorities, preferences, and motivations. You can take your best shot, but ultimately if they value close to home, past relationship with...

What a nonsense take by "Melissa". Mario is as far as it gets from a used car salesman. In fact, he's the opposite. He does't use flowery flattery or sweet platitudes to get people to like him, he's blunt and straightforward. In fact, that characteristic has led to some claiming he's hard to...

Or she'll have him pay to house her in whatever city he plays for.

My point is your "eye test" that you used was pointless nonsense. It has exactly zero to do with his ability and skill...and yes, you were using it to downplay him, saying he looked sloppy and fat for a "bonafide 5 star". Meanwhile, there are ProBowl NFL OL who look just as "sloppy" and fat.

He's an OL. There are successful NFL lineman that look far fatter than he does.

Agree, that would be a major red flag for me. A staff so unsure of what they have to sell that they push you to not even listen to other sales pitches. A confident staff tells you to see what the others have to say, then compare with how much more I can offer you.

Unless it's changed in the years since I've been there, the 11th Street Diner on Miami Beach has great sausage and biscuits. They could take him there. I powered through many hangovers with their sausage and biscuits!

A job interview? Far from it. The recruit is the one in the position of power, the staff is the one trying to convince him to come to their school. That analogy doesn't work at all.

Exactly. Adding Mims doesn't suddenly make FSU's QB room any less pathetic. Meanwhile, our 3rd string QB could possibly start at FSU, and our 2nd string definitely would.

If he chooses FSU it's clear that the best developmental situation is not his (or his family's?) primary factor in consideration, so not sure that would make much of a difference. To choose FSU means his relationship with Atkins and/or his family desire to keep him closer would likely be strong...

I don't see Mario or the staff in general as the type to panic. Especially since they are doing so well overall and Mims will not make or break the team as nice as it would be to have him.

..or his mom. Mothers are always an x-factor.

"The Mario crew"?? Given what he's done thus far in a short time: saving our recruiting class; building one of, if not the most elite collection of coaches in program history; securing facility upgrade commitments on a level we haven't seen before....why would any Canes fan not be supportive of...

It's easy for them to pretend they don't lose any head to head battles when they claim they weren't battling for any of the kids they lost out on.

...and it wasn't just them. The UGA and USC writers were also saying we were by far the team to beat.

Exactly. Not getting Mims doesn't change our rapid upwards trajectory. Mims would be an additional piece that bumps up the trajectory a bit more.
