Truth be told....

I believe 85% of South Florida locals really want to play in there own backyard but it's the real estate agents and advisers telling them their home is already listed for sale.

bang spot on, also money changes who u love man especially if the struggle is real

Anyone rooting for Jobe is either related or is a fan more of sfla HS football then the U that has to be the answer for that. Or am I missing something?

It kills me to see "dogs" and "men" get shopped around by uncles, aunties, mommies or daddies. Alphas arent told what to do. Now deciding on your own to take a bag is different....but this handler crap does get old and rather ironic

How adults can come on here and state things about a kid being pulled in a hundred direction and not know the kid or anyone at his school and definitively make statements is indicative of where we are as a people.

How everyone around him keeps pulling him away from where his heart is just to get paid off of his own sweat and tears also speaks to where we are as a people.
The fact that people all over the world are starving and don’t have access to the basics of society and their civil liberties are being violated on a daily basis and we sit here arguing on where we are as a “people” speaks to where we are as a species.
This isn’t a sociology class or a morality board.

You’ll find a lot of jobe-Columbus nerd fans on this site. Sad!

Unless you have a personal relationship with the player there's no reason for a miami fan to root for anyone not playing for the U.

He’s got a 3.7 GPA, he wants to be a mechanical engineer, and he’s had literally as horrible an upbringing as you can possibly have. This is not Josh Jobe. This is a kid being offered life changing money when he has literally zero. He’s not trolling anyone. He’s not disrespecting anyone. I’m way too old to wish ill will on a 17 year old kid for saying yes when someone opens up a duffel bag with $400k in it.

Any of you superfans pull for Le’veon Bell? What about Zeke? I’ll never hate on any man for getting what he can, when he can. I’m not 22 years old. This is a business, whether you like it or not. Even at this level.

So you are saying he might be gone to Georgia Tech? Stanford? Cal? Purdue?

You are talking about pro dudes holding out for more money in a league where they get paid to play. Not turning your back on the hometown team while continuing to proclaim your love for them. If he goes elsewhere he can join the group that can eat a bag of ****s and be a ******* bust. If you ain't a hurricanes **** off and I wish no success

Not at all. I’m saying he’s taking what he can get. And although I probably wouldn’t cause I’m too big of a fan, I’m just saying I understand.

Literally the exact same thing homie. This is an amateur dude holding out for more money in a league where kids like him are paid to play. It’s a business at his level. Period.

And that’s cool if u hope he busts and sucks and is a nothing. I get it. You’re a fan, and you’re hurt. I wish all the SFL studs came here too. I’m just saying I’m too old to care if he doesn’t, especially if he’s not disrespecting the school and is really commanding the type of money this kid is. Clemson told him “whatever you want”. Tough to say no thanks when Miami says, um, we have cool dorms?

SouthCak Cane · Sep 5, 2019

I understand them choosing the bags but do you have to troll the hometown team to get it...that I will never understand

wSmokin Sebastian · Sep 5, 2019

You can understand but at the end of the day if he isnt on the Miami Hurricanes.....eat a bag of ****s. Aint that hard. Im not rooting for you. Plain and simple. Fans of the miami hurricanes dont have to support and love everyone from their area code. I dont see UGA fans wishing well to the kids that leave for bama or clemson

How’s he trolling? He went to Orlando on his own dime and wore UM **** in the UM section and was cheering openly and loudly for Miami. That’s trolling? Because UM sends him an edit, unsolicited I might add, and he retweets it? Wouldn’t it be more disrespectful if he just ignored it?

If I have a kid I hope to God these schools offer him money, I'll be reporting their asses to the NCAA, IRS, and any other known entity.

Nah, cause they’re haters and uneducated rednecks. Also, how often does that happen? UGA lose a lot of kids they want from GA to OOS schools? Not really. Nowhere near like the mass exodus around here.

Spoken by a true middle or upper class dude. No troll, no disrespect. I’m genuinely happy you got it like that. Unfortunately, kids like Williams and a lot like him don’t. And that money is their only option. Turning it down to play snitch isn’t in the playbook.

Again it's not the same thing. You dont have control over who drafts you. You have the choice when you are a player recruited like he will be to go where you want. Doing the things he is doing is not the way to go about your business. Again you turn your back and go elsewhere I hope they bust and dont make it to the league. Maybe it will teach a lesson to younger players not to turn your back on the people who had your back first

A lot actually.
