Im of belief kid sees competition and doesnt want to sit and wait

Also believe the staff has moved on... and its either defense or hit the fence

Also believe the kid is a Cane Lock cause momma is all Canes. She has him stacking that bread up from anybody willing to pay to get their hopes and dreams shattered. Come signing day she got MC on speed dial ready to invest all the bread with D$ and canes connection.

Also believe i covered all excuses so i can be right no matter what..

Also i stayed at Woodspring Suite and im not as confident as i would be if i stayed at holiday inn last night 🙃
 
Eveything has been going right for us lately so I'm sure this will too. This kid will be a Cane. Even if he doesn't, RB will always be an elite position at Miami as long as Mario is here.

Zero concern about FSU. They don't have our NIL and they might be flying high right now because they beat Alabama but we're about to bring those fools back down to earth real quick in two weeks time. They honestly don't belong on the field with us. We're better than them at every position and I think we'll blow the doors off that FSU team. I'm more worried about the Gators for real. FSU doesnt' scare me a bit, they're a paper tiger.

Any kid that sees the Miami OL and rushing game that doesn’t want to come here as a RB should be questioned. He can walk in and be RB2 for year 1 and RB1 years 2-3. He also won’t be asked to carry the O or run 30x a game.

I guess there's a stylistic thing to it…I mean there is just a lot of different type running plays that simply aren't in the UM playbook.
 
I really wonder how much of the hold up is cooper being afraid of competition, and how much is UM wanting him to play LB instead of RB. Third factor of course would be NIL, but we can’t be far off on NIL if he keeps coming to UM games.
 
I get the board indifference to recruits like Cooper and Russell who seem to be using the staff. They don’t seem to be worth the drama on top of having a high bust risk.

Personally, I’m a big fan of option value. The more nationally ranked recruits we line up for commitments or potential flips, the more choices Mario has on whom to close. Plus it creates scarcity of spots, or at least the perception of scarcity. Kids that want in want in even more.

Plus even if you don't get them, you may get them on their first or second transfer. No use in burning bridges.

Alot of yall are still stuck in 2015. For top recruits, this is a business now. And good for them and their families when they can capitalize on generational wealth at this point in time.

We still have a huge advantage in playing the long Good

We are stuck with the CANES so as far as I'm concerned you can be happy for him and his family and go to Austin with him. We don't want to hear that bs now see if he will give you some coin since you expressed your happiness for him and his family!!
