Dijon Johnson, CB (OSU de-commit)

[TOcane]

It’s more of the same from Ryan Day. I keep telling my OSU friends up here this.

Ryan Day has a fundamental flaw as a college HC. He just wants to run his offense and call plays and wants nothing to do with the defense. He’s constantly pointing fingers at that side of the ball. Meanwhile, he has little to no interaction with them. And doesn’t want any.

He scapegoated the defense after last year (demoted his DC during the season) and now has hired a new staff. However, he just wants Knowles to totally run that side of the ball. Just months in, there are already problems with this staff and recruiting. He’s upset that he has to get involved in recruiting defense lol. He’s the head coach.

He’s going to end up in the NFL where he can run offense and somebody else runs the defense. That is an NFL model, not a college one.

Yea, I don’t see them winning the NC with him. Will always be up there but just don’t see him as that guy.

If Mario flips mustard he’s gonna have Billy playing ketchup.

It feels that way because its true. #1 in Mario's Laws of Recruiting as defined by @LeedsCane

Whenever and wherever possible, crush the Gator and any hopes they have in resurrecting their recruiting/program.

Mario's Laws of Recruiting

There have been some absolute gems on Mario's recruiting philosophy posted in various threads the past couple of days. Decided to collect them in a thread for better discussion and searching in the future. Will update as more are posted. Whenever and wherever possible, crush the Gator and...

I'm pretty **** astute if you ask me --and I'm not even getting inside info.

UF has already penciled him into the class. Everyone of them has thrown out their “bat signal” for the flip of Dijion. Unless they all are Delirious… I just don’t see Miami being in the picture for the kid.

The Gaytors are more of a Poupon team. No Dijon for them.

I’m down in Bonita Springs right now on vacation from TN. We were heading down I-75 passing G-Ville and we needed gas. I refused to stop in that ****hole! My wife looked me dead square in the eyes and said you won’t stop because it’s Gainesville am I right? I didn’t even crack a grin and nodded and kept on trucking! Why? Because f them gators! I’ll happily throw the match on my way back by!

You're a good man. No need to pay any gas taxes or fuel taxes in Alachua County. I know you can make it to Ocala, give the good people of Marion County your hard-earned money...

Got-****, man, your name is CASH, you're all about that currency!

Jaheim Singletary
Jordan Battle
Jaiden Woodbey
Clark Phillips
Devonta Smith (not the Bama WR)
Terrence Brooks

All DBs that have been flipped from OSU in the last 5-6 years.

(got this OSu 247)

What's insane is that these guys have left their classes, and they've STILL cleaned up.

Zach Smith is butthurt. Ohio St has Walton and Eliano, they aren’t hurting recruiting wise. Kids flip everyday B.

Agree. He hasn't found that optimal balance of involvement vs. delegation. The HC can't run everything, but also can't wash his hands of one side of the ball.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I'd also add that Mario probably hates Billy's guts when they worked together. lol

It intensified afterwards, when Slingblade Billy started cashing checks and claiming credit for all the SoFla wide receivers that Mario recruited for him.

Someone should sneakily create a thread on the gator board with a screen shot of D$'s original post...


…and then throw some popcorn in the microwave.

I see what you did there....

Perhaps. But if Johnny Ruiz is commenting, then this one could turn on NIL...

I think he heads to the NFL soon and Ohio St hires Fickell. Win for both sides.

 

[AtrainCane]

If we take him from the gator…….

They gone die

 

[Memnon]

Interesting. As some have mentioned, word has been UF recently. Is he a CB or Safety on the next level?

He’d be best at Safety IMO, but if he’s going to play Corner it will be at Boundary

What good fortune (or skill/resources) they've had with the string of Tressel-Meyer-Day-Fickell. And Cooper was honestly a phenomenal recruiter, but just had some mind**** that he couldn't beat inferior Michigan teams. Crazy that they haven't played for more titles considering the HCs. Anyways, **** Ohio State.
