And they are selective about how they make their comparisons too.
For instance, Cormani.
Because UiF "should have" gotten Cormani, therefore Slingblade Billy "out-recruited" Mario.
BUT...
Consider what Mario had to overcome:
1. Cormani grew up liking the Gaytors more than Miami.
2. Cormani is from Lakeland High.
3. Cormani's position coach is a former Gaytor, and a darn good one too.
4. Cormani was leaning Gaytor longer than he was leaning Miami.
5. Hogtown is closer to Lakeland than Miami.
And let's not forget nor deny - HE HAD AN NIL OFFER FROM THE GAYTORS TOO.
Now, it's very possible that the Miami offer was a little bit better, but it wasn't MILLIONS MORE (no matter how much the Gaytors want to lie about that). Notice how the Gaytor fans are NOW poor-mouthing their NIL offer to Cormani, acting like they had nothing to offer him, when they've been BRAGGING about how much they offered to Harold Perkins (last cycle) and Jaden Rashada (this cycle).
Bottom line, they can't have it both ways, they either HAVE the money for NIL or they don't. And if they DON'T, that's not our fault. They keep trying to manufacture this fake "oh, we're so principled, we are not 'overpaying' for any recruits", but all it really gets them is second (or third) place in a recruit's final decision.
What they should really be doing is acknowledging that if Miami's slightly larger NIL offer is enough to eradicate all of the recruiting advantages that the Gaytors have, and it "forces" kids who are lifelong Gaytor fans to "begrudgingly" choose Miami, then maybe, JUST MAYBE, they weren't such Gaytor locks in the first place.
Fugg 'em. I don't care what happens to the Gaytors, I'm just enjoying it when we snatch all of these "Gaytor locks" away from them...
