[Odysseus]

So was the Gaby post real?

 

[theibisrules]

“yOu CaMe InTo My CoMmEnT”

It’s a message board moron.

Miami is hiring Coopers high school RB coach

Wasn’t that Shaun Shivers former AU player who is now at Eastern Michigan? He isn’t coming here if he brought the whole staff here.

 

[DamienCane86]

This recruiting class was still a few years away from being born when Beason went to Chaminade

Exactly. Which means Chaminade hasn't produced many pros

So to give a summary of this albatross of a thread:

We started like:

Then after Cantwell we were like:

Then the Wow thread had us like:

Then the June commits had us like:

But then July came around & we were like:

Which lead to this non sense:

That jumped off into this nonsense:

B/c the antagonist in this thread often comes on CIS like this:

But then, we got a commit from Bargain Wingo, so we got back to:

Which led us back here to:

Then we heard we hired his RB coach so we were like:

But now Gaby has ****ted on our parade so it’s back to:

Sorry to derail real quick

I’m not saying cooper is coming or not. But Gaby said this exact thing for Cantwell. And he probably was saying the same for Wingo days before. Things change

Not sure it was "the exact same thing"…It was more of a doubtful tone. Or "I'm hearing Georgia at the moment" or "There's not as much confidence on the UM side"

Not "he's not coming here"

 

[San Amaro Dr]

You have to ask yourself who the other players from Chaminade were and what their actual chances of making it to the league were. It's not like Chaminade was some powerhouse in the 1990s or early 2000s.

Was a powerhouse in the early 2000's starting with Beason class lol

Meanwhile I’m just trying to have a good day and avoid AIDs…

Locking down some of these high end recruits would probably avoid the mental special olympics

All Over the place literally

This is one of the funniest posts I've seen on this site! Has me cracking up!!

 

[NJshoreCane]

But yet the dumb *** u responded to had the audacity to give me a throw up response b/c their wittle feelings got hurt. That’s y I provided the complete situation to show how foolish it was to kick the field goal under THAT circumstance. I even said 5 mins to play w all 3 timeouts? Yes u kick the field goal; but, under 4 to play w/ only 2 timeouts, u have to roll the dice & trust ur #1 rated O.

Get the TD and the X2P.
Rock'em back on their heels and hope the D is fired up enough to get 1 stop.

Crazy, maybe...but in any scenario, we had to get 1 stop.
Why the **** not go for it there?

Side note:
We were the #1 rated passing efficiency offense in the 1st and 4th quarters, by a very wide margin.
In the mid quarters we were barely average at 50th +/-.
Play calling? Execution?
A discussion for another thread.

 

[DemCanes10]

Wake me up when we win the ACC

We ain’t won **** in 20 years

We suppose to win recruiting battles

How in the world are we in the top 10??

Jesus!

Guys that complain clearly haven’t lived in Miami and been around these kids. Same people say they weren’t alive when we were good get mad when they leave.

Other teams got money too…other teams negatively recruit against us and we haven’t won in 20 years. Why is that?

Yet our fans can’t see that!

Let it play out!

[kccanefan]

A bunch of hype for a RB. It’s more about optics than the player IMO.

I just don’t see elite RB 5 star on film.

This has nothing to do with Miami not getting him. This whole thing is more about Mario and Miami needing to make a statement and keeping a 5 star home.

There are many other pure RB out ther

Not seeing the next Adrian Peterson or Barry Sanders here. It’s more trying to make a statement and keeping 5 stars home. At some point pride has to be put aside to make the better financial decision.

Brother, how on earth do you have the time to create this storyboard, lol?! But it's a perfect representation of CIS.

mario telling dennis smiff to put the signal out at 6:30 tommorow.

Losing Cooper's recruitment doesn't bother me so much as also having lost the Jai Lamar. Wish we would have pushed harder there.

 

[DRC]

Didn't want to say anything at the time and get everyones panties in a bunch but I would have loved to lock in Jae Lamar right after his visit and be done with RB if that were a possibility.

If Cooper were ok coming in as a LB, yeah thats a 5 star player. At RB... not sure Jae wont end up the higher draft pick in 3 years.

But regardless, its always a loss when a 5 star player leaves your backyard.

did we say no thanks to the GA Tailback?

Why didn’t you want to say anything?

Not an unreasonable take.
