2024 5* DL Justin Scott visiting this weekend [commits to OSU then flips to Miami!]

[Caneofcanes]

And is she gonna freak out about distance when he gets drafted by the Rams…it’s too far…

I was thinking the NFL example as well.

 

[Theu954]

That blowing up your phone sh*t is cool when its somewhere you actually are considering going

Well the staff clearly was fooled since we came in 3rd place and moms really wanted him staying up north…

 

[WestEndZone]

I raised some concerns after the visit, but communication went well in the weeks after. Staff misread those communications until yesterday, when I got word this was a no-go.

I’m not buying any of this. Something bigger is happening.

It’s happened too many times in close succession. In my area of law, we call this uniformity of damages.

 

[Caneofcanes]

Hopefully Artavius Jones or Kamarion Franklin

​

Both along with Kendall Jackson. That’s a great start for a foundation of DLineman.

 

[PRcane787]

We will either panic sign a bloated Foldenesque class of 18 additional 3s, or start the narrative of "wait till the next portal."

If we take 30 3 stars, there’s gotta be some hits in there, right?

Numbers game..

 

[YUMU]

It is a $ issue and believe what you want

staff was not mis-reading anyone last year and landing all the whales … of course we where paying (NIL) elegantly

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

This June/ July might go down in infamy if this chit continue

If you drew a Venn Diagram that had two circles:

1. People who believe that there are head coaches who are elite recruiters even without bags
2. People who believe they can learn the secrets of the five finger death punch from a a guy claiming to be a 10th degree blackbelt in ninjitsu running a martial arts studio in a strip mall

There would be a huge amount of overlap.

 

[FrostyVFL]

You don't find it weird to even be on this site?

What fun is it being in an echo chamber all the time?

 

[nvlahos]

But but but Mario will lock down SoFla and recruit with the best of them..

Lol he’s the same as Manny, Richt, Golden, etc. on the trail.. land some big names, lose alot of others

Then backfill with 3 star talent

it is a $$/NIL issue .. staff did not misread anyone last year and got all the big dogs … it has to be lack of elite $

That visit to Lakeland in January says otherwise..

Staff ended up teaching the HS coaches how to scheme up a blitz package while 8 toes had a photo shoot our prized DB.

Some much needed humor

As soon as we went 5-7, the price of this class doubled, but we aren't paying accordingly.

The only way to salvage this class is to buy it.

Although it can't hurt, winning 11 games ain't gonna do it.

 

[ssvir]

Humongous loss, but he was coming till mama freaked out. Massive mistakes made here though on our end. Hopefully we learn for Stone

Get momma a south beach apartment. Are we broke or morons?

He's the dirty little secret...

[BGCOLOR=initial]Pretty much every coach, even Saban would find himself in the same situation. We don't have the NIL money. That's just how it is right now. [/BGCOLOR]

[BGCOLOR=initial]So that's why you need a coach who is an elite scheme guy, to figure out how to get most out of the handful of top players on the roster. But fans keep believing in the myth of the program building General Manager HC, who can whisper sweet nothings into the ears of 5 star recruits and get them lining up to play for him. My goal is that one day [/BGCOLOR][BGCOLOR=initial]fans will stop falling for this "program builder" and "good culture" nonsense. This isnt 1995 anymore. [/BGCOLOR]

[BGCOLOR=initial]I also hope that this is the wakeup call for Cristobal to tell UM to give him ALL THE MONEY for recruits or he will walk. This half measure of getting a program builder but not giving him NIL money to buy the best class possible is 10000% doomed to fail. [/BGCOLOR]

 

[JustAFanHTX]

I maintain stone is your best shot at a 5 star DL.. his mom wants him far away so the total opposite of this situation. I’m not a insider tho be safe

 

[Ispyin]

FWIW I don’t know how any of you guys expect any insiders to be on point when the coaches clearly have no ******* idea what’s going on.

And people can keep telling me we have money besides whatever Ruiz does not have any more but I’m not buying it. Way too much coincidence here.

Our new coordinators better actually be really good coaches, unlike Mario, and salvage the season so any of the people that are actually waiting to make a decision at the end are in play- I don’t know how many times I need to say it, most recruits don’t flip, including most four and five stars

And they better change the momentum by wildly overpaying for somebody of note - make a statement or continue to get your **** pushed in the rest of this year on and off the field

 

[Caneofcanes]

Mario getting shoved in a locker by Ryan Day

Constantly

Like I said in a post earlier. Mario LITERALLY SHOVED HIM IN ONE AT THE HORSESHOE. Without his best player. So when the talent is even. Mario is 1-0 v Day.
