Dalvin after game

[Cal jimmy]

Lets be honest here..It appears in all likely hood Golden is a pretty ****** X's and O's coach... If he cant bring it a Running back whos blood brother is on the basketball team. Its a bad sign. FIrst Alex Collins, then Sony Michel now this...If recuiting is suppose to be his saving grace he must bring him in.

How do you make players that just dont want to stay home be there? thats just impossible

How do timeshare salesmen get people to buy stupid fcking timeshares that they neither need nor want? They sell the sht out of them and convince them that it's the best thing for them.

Cook didn't grow up thinking he absolutely needed to go somewhere other than UM. If he goes elsewhere it'll be because those guys convinced him that he should leave the comfort of home and not go to a school where his brother and 3 teammates are going and where his family can see him whenever they want. Seems to me that THAT would be the tougher sales job, not the one that Corch Golden has.

Like blackcloud said, if Al gets whipped on Cook with all those factors in our favor after getting whipped for so many other local blue chippers, then he's failing in the area where he is supposed to be best.

That's a fair answer.

Conversely, the fact that he has lined up three of Cook's teammates including his best friend & partner indicates he is pushing the right buttons. I find the whole soap opera mesmerizing but if indeed UM does get Cook, which are all unified in hoping, does that also mean some of you Golden haters will give him some credit?

I agree there are no 2nd place ribbons but the class he has so far is pretty impressive and, if it all stays together, would be the envy of most of college football with or without Cook.

Looking like FSU.

 

[TooColdToHold]

Last week, DMoney said that if signing day was already here that Cook would sign with FSU. In the interview, Cook said he has known since last week where he would go. Sounds like FSU is his choice.

For ***** sakes, where are you people getting FSU lean from in his interview.

Absolutely, it would be a major recruiting coup, you are not only getting the best player down here, but you are sending a message to the other locals that Miami is on the rise, and its time to hop on board. Now going back to the question/statement how do you keep kids home that dont want to be here. Look at it as a sales job, the bottom line is results plain and simple. Everything else, just doesnt mean ****. Yes you can rationalize some things and have a valid point, but it doesnt matter, just the results. ANd ultimately recruiting results are superceeded by wins and loses.

Stop with the melodrama. I don't hate Golden. I think he's a great guy and does great work 6 days a week. He just needs to fix his defense, or he's gonna dig himself a hole he can't get out of.

 

[NorthFlaCane]

I think the comments about wanting it to be like Miami Central again point to Miami. Wonder if Yearby's broken ankle doesn't end up steering Cook to Miami.

 

[TriStarCane]

All I know is January 2nd is going to be the most epic **** show in history on this board either way

 

[ristwasdown]

We had no chance with this cat, and now we do. but now its Golden's fault if we don't pull him? get outta here. dudes been committed for 2 years. You can't really blame anyone. I AM NOT TAKING UP FOR GOLDEN.

NOW, Dixon is a different story.

LIke I said if he signs with Florida no biggie....but if he signs with FSU?!! CMon bro...FSU wasnt even in conversation a few months ago

This is what I have been saying. I never felt like we had a chance with Cook other than to back door his commitment. But Dixon? I just don't see an excuse. Kid lives up the interstate and was here over ten times, multiple games, practices, and we were his outright leader for 6 months. He visits OSU one time randomly in October and wants to go there? Sorry, that's a fail on our part.

It's a failure to close IMO. Hometown school. Stated as his leader since the summer. Visited multiple times. Came to multiple games. Favorable offense and scheme. Mother who wants him close to home. How is it not a fail? I understand you can't force any kid to go anywhere. It's their choice. But JDs recruitment is a failure by our program to seal the deal on a kid we had a lead with. It's not the first nor will it be the last time. Hopefully we can be the OSU in some of these other target's situations.

 

[Dandycane]

why is everyone convinced he is going to FSU???

Because he'll suck if he commits to the u. We can't have him suck for his own sake. Read the mope memo.

That's a fail on the fans part. The staff tried. Dude specifically said our game day environment sucks. He's right.

 

[DeadPoets]

Does Cook play DT?

SO NOW KIDS COMMIT FOR FANS

This is all that needs to be said. This is exactly how I feel. If the guy is truly what I hope he is, then he changes the defense (and is willing to make any of the tough choices necessary to get that done). The rest of the nonsensical criticism and ad hominem attacks spouted off on this site have no basis in fact and do nothing to contribute to the quality of the board.

 

[Sable]

Big **** our game day ambiance keeps deteriorating at the stadium. We definitely miss OB. However, we still get Cook.

 

[Kevin]

I remember when Collins chose arkansas over us, this board was epic.. Jan. 2 is going to be something else
