2023 Cormani McClain CB Commits to Colorado

[E1k]

What was the timeline? I don’t recall. Wasn’t Billy hired before Mario?

Exactly 1 month and 2 days before if google is correct. But they could’ve known what was gonna happen, the smoke was there for a while.

 

[TruCane81]

Don't know if he is a Lakeland kid, but Donno specifically said UF burned some bridges in Lakeland. He didn't get into the specifics.

Anybody know the story on this?

 

[E1k]

Napier and norvells staff are mediocre. Identical to what we’ve trotted out there for 15 years. Similar results are incoming for them.

I never realized how bad our staff’s have been until Mario got to town.... I knew how bad manny’s was but that’s a different story

I dont blame u bro, majority of our fanbase forgot who we really are as a program. **** even the university forgot lol

I mean they knew but do you think they knew what Miami was gonna invest before it happened?

Think it depends if they actually believed the reports that were coming out. But ****t I didn’t believe it until i saw it happen in real time. But I think i saw people say he was their main target from the get go like Mario was ours.

 

[CanefaninBuckeyeland]

I honestly wouldn’t know, it could be **** and he wouldn’t admit it, he signed a contract he’ll honor it. Is my politically correct answer. My other answer is man that **** is garbage around there and I’m a big Billy Napier fan but buddy need help in the worst way

You're a big Billy Napier fan? Please explain.

You're a big Billy Napier fan? Please explain.

Well let me start by saying I’m a college football fan and a Miami fan and I believe in the right situation he can be a premier coach one day. I never got the good recruiter tag he got but he’s a good developer and is innovative and always learning from his mistakes on the fly, good traits. He hasn’t even played a season at UF yet and the results so far aren’t favorable but I’m willing to wait and see what he does on field. Not that I wish Florida well, I don’t. I just think he’s a good one

Yeah everyone knew Mario was coming. Nobody outside of Miami could have known the storm was coming.

Louisiana had the best recruiting classes in the Sun Belt for like every year Billy was there. He took a few kids with him to Fla.

Can he recruit at the P5 level? Idk. But he was good at ULL.

This is what i was wondering; Was Napier the main target or were there others they didn't land? I have no recollection...

Indeed but I don’t know how much of that was him necessarily or the guys around him. But that’s a skill in itself

 

[JgDaCane]

Hes going to, Raymond will be nullified cause of the leadership up top. Its basically a waste same as TRob with Manny. Its always the head of the snake that matters most/

I’ve said from day 1 position coaches are so overrated in recruiting by this board. Bags & the head man are what matters.

I follow a Florida fan on twitter that goes to Florida, idk if he tapped in or not but he said napier was their guy and they didn’t waste time. Also they had time to search because remember they fired mullen during the season

I heard and seen good things about their DC, he seems like the gem of that staff(just off football stuff) besides the established guys like CR. People said the napier hire was ok but bringing toney made it better

 

[TOcane]

Missed out on the gem though that went to bama. I think Graves will be legit out of those three. The others depending on who we land it's going to be tough for them.

I am with you the head man is more important, but you need both. In addition to those we would have a better shot with Fegans with a guy like Cristobal. If Raymond doesn’t land some high 4 stars even with the bad staff there it is an indictment on him.

ULL had the second highest football budget in the conference behind Coastal Carolina

TrumpyCane loves them bragging about beating Iowa State even though they spend way more money than them on football

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

If it ain’t us then it’s Bama… Saban loves his DBs and puts his personal touch on those recruiting battles

And mario throws his whole body head first into every recruiting battle. Fvck Satan. LFG.

Toney is a #Guy he’s who Billy is going to lose immediately

The same was true of cornrows Mike at Memphis. He had the top non-power 5 recruiting budget in the country there.

Maybe they thought they’d strike it rich, like when they hired Urban.

Still an odd choice though, I’d agree. If UF truly had the stature their fem-jorts-wearing fans think they, have the Gaytors would have poached someone like USC, LSU, or our Canes did. Or a name coordinator like Oregon hiring Lanning.
