2023 Cormani McClain CB Commits to Colorado

[SFbayCane]

Shades of the Devin Hester signing day saga.


Remind me again.... How'd that turn out for UM?

Please don't bite my head off, but assuming them folks are bright enough to realize the drama thats been unleashed, wouldn't a pic of Cormani flashing the U again or something have done a world of good? (ps: still time, folks, if accurate "insider" reporting)

There’s this:

I thought you didn’t need ACT/SAT to get into school anymore? Or was that just a Covid thing.

I checked the Admissions requirements. It says ACT or SAT is OPTIONAL....

 

[Hoyacane1620]

Some schools require a minimum SAT score and do not use the NCAA sliding scale. That is something that Miami did at one time too.

The NCAA Clearinghouse still exists, though.

So even though Miami has test scores as "optional", the NCAA requires one of them?

The quote is from early December

 

[Themadcane]

So if it has to wait until February and then he signs with the good guys will we become winners instead of losers at that point?

 

[Cane Tankerous]

The guy reported/tweeted that his sources told him they expected Cormani to sign today, and did so in a categorical manner. Now he's reporting something different. That's by definition backtracking.

Please reread what he said. He said his sources told him.

He's only "backtracking" if his sources didn't tell him that.

Even his sources didn't lie unless they actually didn't "expect" him to sign.

It's recruiting. Things alter expectations.

Transfer to Akron.

Wish him the best

Navarro's response to me on Reddit about people using the quote from Cormani's coach out of context and using it for clicks. I never brought Navarro up at any time either. I found his response interdasting.

Regardless of how much of a hack Navarro is, the article is crystal clear.

What's up with Lingard?

Wanted to be closer to his family that lives near Orange City, FL (close to Gainesville), so he transfered to Akron, Ohio.

Former Gators running back Lorenzo Lingard shared that he is transferring to the Akron Zips on Wednesday.

Be that as it may, people have been using that quote like it was given Wednesday.

Yeah, these people only have the screenshots and not the subscription.

The nut drop by geo not looking too good right now

Color me shocked.

The NCAA has rules too.

The NCAA has rules too.

They won't get the hint.

Because ACT is a topic:

The NCAA had changed their requirements because of the pandemic: https://www.ncsasports.org/coronavirus-sports/ncaa-eligibility-center-covid-19

However, the school also has admission rules in place where academic results need to stand on their own:

Admission < University of Miami

bulletin.miami.edu

Feel free to correct me on this.

That was graduate school link. I found this under the undergraduate admissions information which does provide a waiver for standardized tests for Spring 2023 admissions. This disproves the ACT information going around if he had completed classes for early enrollment.

If he wasn’t able to meet that criteria due to classes not being completed in time, it appears as if he will need to have the scores to get in.

All of this is conjecture and we are all looking for a smoking gun as to the potential issue. I want this kid to be able to play for our team if he wants to. It seems as if him not making any comments right now or posting pro UM message/photos are to maintain some point of leverage (whether as a threat or for NIL purposes). I just hope this resolves today or this becomes another chapter heading into early February. Regardless, our very well paid recruiters and professionals are working to keep him tied to the university and we can expect that they are taking their best shot to land him.
