If we got Griffen, Valentine and JC Jackson it might make me lay off Al for a bit.
But I'm not optimistic about any of them.
Griffin will not be playing for Miami. TV will go to LSU or Kentucky. Jackson we have a legit shot...

If he's coming to Miami. It's to visit south beach. Kid didn't make the score

Hate to say it, but after reading his tweets, it seems impossible that he could make the score. The test is administered in English. Sad. I guess Pete knows something that we don't know. (I'm not trying to knock the kid, but "Imma" and "whinning"....
I'm beginning to lose some of my optimism that this program can be like it used to be. If we're constantly going to lose kids like Griffen and Valentine--and if it is for grades--and our competition (like LSU, some of the SEC schools) can take them, we're going to have constant trouble competing.
Back in the '80's we lost a coveted linebacker prospect from Miami, Joey Veargis. I think he than decided to go to Alabama but I don't know where he really ended up. I think I last heard of him playing in the Arena League after playing for some small school in Ohio. I was amazed that Veargis, who was having trouble getting into Miami, was still playing other sports his senior year, instead of dropping them and concentrating on what he needed to get into Miami, whether it was test scores or grades, I don't remember. I thought it was screwed-up priorities, he didn't understand the concept of making a sacrifice and the idea of delayed gratification. I was disappointed that his high school coaches and counselors didn't say, drop the basketball and spend a couple of extra hours a night doing something to prepare for college.
Maybe if this kid Griffen had stopped devoting so much time to two sports and spent the time catching up on the intellectual skills needed to prepare for college, maybe he'd be able to enter a topflight program, and have a better shot at the NFL.
I've seen so many of these kids end up at third rate schools because they don't qualify for the better schools (Cedric McKinnon of Gables was another in the '80's) and they never develop enough to make it to the NFL. These kids don't see the connection later on between academic preparation in high school and chance for a pro career later on.
I don't know why we might be losing Valentine to LSU, unless it's financial. All the reports say he is ready test score wise and grade wise. He loves Miami, and his father is tight with Hurlie.

Of course, he did work extra hard at prep school, I guess, and had a lot of academic support and extra work. If he can't better the score a few points after all of that...I don't know. Maybe, even if he got the score, Miami admissions just had so many misgivings otherwise. I can't blame them if the University is going to maintain some kind of academic standards.
All of this about Griffen is just speculation right now.

Then why would he tweet that?
When has anything he tweeted regarding getting to Miami been correct?
Remember when he said he would be here January 2nd?
Classes start on Monday. A kid qualified for school would not be saying he will be here "Sometime this month". It's either he's in or he's not, and he is not.
He does have until the end of the drop add week to get enrolled, which is normally a week after classes start.
Time to cross fingers, toes, and to pray to every deity in human history.
