Mario and his cafecito goons are feeding the conference bag of **** to all the little guppies asking for info. If money is what matters stop moving the goalposts. All we hear is it’s just pay the most. Ok. And if we lose Cantwell later in the year it will be well UM couldn’t handle the bag reup he took. But if we keep him, he believed in Mirabal above all others lol it’s a fantasy.

This is what I’m saying. It’s pretty simple if you’re a highly rated priority target from south Florida and Miami is clearly showing you a lot of attention and making you a priority and clearly offering big money, then what is there to ‘convince’ you of? All these dudes absolutely know whether they want to be Canes or not relatively early. This isn’t gunna be a case of us not being in the same ballpark in NIL. So when a guy commits to UGA early, decommits then randomly pushes back his commitment date for Texas… they’re telling you where they don’t want to be imo.

Again I’ll say South Florida recruits (at least top ones - and **** sure with Legacies!) are always looking for any possible reason to leave.

Depth chart? Fletcher leaving after this season and Lyle will be gone season after that. Texas got wisner Baxter for 2 more years, Gibson lol. He would play at Miami faster

I know your name probably means Broward County Cane, but I’ll be damned if I don’t read it with an E and U missing.

If we lose this one it goes to show that relationship building isn’t worth it. Mario has been recruiting this kid for years and Texas swoops in at the last minute and gets one visit and he goes there? Shows that we don’t have a chance no matter how hard the staff works to establish ties.

Missing AJ has you pessimistic. It will all work out. Blockhead was a dime a dozen kinda guy.

If he goes, it will hurt. But I think He will be in the portal before the end of year 2. These kids always think they are better than the incumbents….. until they realize that they not, orrrrr that the coaches at said school, are loyal to the kids that they have actually seen perform at that level. Then they get their panties in a bunch, and hit the portal.

We are landing this kid but it won’t change the fact that Mario needs to make more changes.

Not if Tejas comes in with the Bag of Bags.

Doesn't matter if Mario was an assistant coach on the kid's Optimist team. Texas calls up its oil boosters and the Columbus High guys are gonna be empty pockets all around. That's Sark's ace in the hole.

We don’t need more changes, we need to win on the field and take the next step building off last year. If Mario can’t win this year with this roster, I’m not sure we ever will. Beat ND and UF at home with 2017 ND like atmospheres and the tune will change. The time is now and it’s lined up perfectly, tick tock Mario.
 
This kid been gone since he visited uga. If it wasn’t uga it was going to be Texas. His mom been tellin everyone Miami was not in front since the uga visit
