2024 DL David Stone [commits to Okla] ENUFF

[Cribby]

Am I trolling though? If we just missed on Stone today but were otherwise doing fine, well that would be one thing.

Think about all of the DT's and DE's that visited over the summer. We missed on Scott. Missed on Rushing. Then we missed on Stewart. Then we missed on Simmons. But wait... because after that we missed on Kam Franklin. Now we've missed on Stone. So am I actually trolling or does it kind of make sense for fans to be ****ed about how consistently bad our recruiting has been this cycle?

I guess I can give them credit for Rudolph and Lightfoot, they are good players if not elite, and Jones is a good solid addition if he sticks. I'm not saying anything everyone else hasn't been saying for months - UM put it out there that this was going to be an elite DT/DE class and it's turned out to be an Al Golden / Manny Diaz level class at that position. Those guys didn't recruit the defensive line badly, but I could be forgiven for thinking our elite $8 milllion/yr coach would be able to out recruit those guys.

Because being outside the top 5 this year means you have no shot at a natty in the next 3 years. Being outside the top 10 means the playoffs are very doubtful within the next three years. And being behind both FSU and UF is just downright unacceptably bad. And oh yeah, this all coming at a time when conference realignment is a thing and Miami's entire future is at stake.

We can't have these misses.

You always troll

He pulled a prank on his family and told them Miami (not really that bad when you think about it, just trying to surprise them that he'll be staying home).... one of the family members Mom or Dad texted a UM staffer out of excitement "you got you one coach!!".... Mirabel tweets....

I'm on the right track??

 

[gogeta4]

Family had UM stuff in the back. The camera panned in to avoid making it obvious. Oh well. Kid looked uncomfortable making the decision.

these post are identical to nole tears onn patterson

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Who is the injured/not-wearing-pads player who handed him the cell phone?

 

[mybestever2]

UGA

They have elite dts tho

 

[Juanka]

I hope this kid steps on a lego for trolling.

 

[Lokest]

Welp, we went 1/2 today. Miami got trolled, me and Cribby got trolled, it is what it is. Now we move on to the season.

So what was this about you deciding to troll about the Patterson stuff earlier

They are misses for everyone besides the school went too…Not just us.

You don't think FSU or Ohio St wants David Stone lol?

We will get another HS DT…Not sure if it's a flip, or a kid we move in on late. Book it.

 

[Confidence1000]

Man…stop torturing yourself lol

I am

Well, you’ve learned a lesson bro. Not all kids choose the most NIL money. Most do but not all

 

[TheToadSage]

They wasn’t crazy about him but they would‘ve taken him. These DT‘s stay in the Sec or Osu. We can’t get to that level without them.

Meanwhile, Clemson grabs em wherever. Idk what they do or how they do it, but it would be nice if we could figure that out.

 

[Cribby]

Well all the pay sites had us 0-2 today or didn’t even make a prediction. We got 1 so that’s better than everyone here expected mid week.

 

[nycane]

lets just win some f'n games. we been a laughing stock of a program for 20 years.

 

[Tony4Canes]

People on X are saying it might be an add on package on Fubo for Pac-12 Network. Guess Sling has it too but probably same thing, add on package.

 

[Zbrod95]

Stone was the only one I said was coming because he told UM and people around IMG. Thats the same way I knew Patterson was coming. It wasn’t just UM. But I agree , kids are getting paid and staying home or close to home.

We need to up Breland’s then give the remaining to McCray. That would be plan A.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Exactly
This thread is reading a lot like fsu after Patterson

fax

 

[Page305]

Naw but in all seriousness though... How many times have our staff got played this cycle? Sheesh. Every miss it seems we're getting trolled or just "read the room wrong". Something's not right this year.

 

[Shogungts]

why do kids tell staff they are coming when they arent, sounds dumb AF...

I m guessing one of the following...

1. They don't want to give them bad news
2. They don't want them to keep pushing them right up to that last minute like I am sure some would
3. They figure it will get out once they tell a school and they want to 'shock the world'
4. They legit change their mind

 

[TriStarCane]

I think it’s because Mario is relentless and a genuine guy. Most kids have a hard time telling someone like that “no” straight up. ****, most adults do too

 

[calinative umstudent]

I missed the video but listened on ESPn2.

But since I love torture I watched his reel on IG and his little brother says at least 2-3 times “I thought he/you was picking the U”

Literally the last thing he said in his instagram IG video was "I didn't make the decision I was going to OU until that moment"
