Julian Armella

Top 10-15 for 2023 would be a disappointment. Diaz could have managed that. I would expect no worse than top 7.

A top ten class would be disappointing? That's one pathetic agenda.

FSU has their own #watchthefinish going...

Did brow transfer?

 

[jackbenimble71]

just like all the media who was late to the party and railing on our handling or Mario/Manny, they are again late to the party and need to start referencing CIS when they put out this dribble cause we are breaking news a lot faster than them

You gotta think being a CCHS kid, this kid is getting UM pressure from all directions. Sounds like if they can get dad on board, it's going to happen.

he's no longer at CCHS, IIRC he's back at Aquinas

Julian would be stupid to go to FSU over Miami with Cristobal/Mirabel. Absolutely stupid.

pretty much. Even ignoring fanatical fandom and objectively looking at it: a complete fool to ignore that opportunity.

Why do people continue to bring him up?

For the 2023 class? Yes. Less than a top 10 class would be disappointing. With Marios recruiting abilities and TVDs potential, if UM ends up with the #15 class next year, that probably means we didn't have a great season. In Diaz's second class (after his first full season) , he almost cracked the top 10 (#11). UM didn't pay Mario Cristobal 9 million a year for Manny Diaz results in W/L record or recruiting. You believe that expecting Mario to outperform Diaz means I have a "pathetic agenda“? You sound like a FSU fan making up excuses for Mike Norvell.

Top 10 for 2023 is absolutely a reasonable expectation..

we've been incompetent for so long I think you may get a pass.

So the fact that his dad played at FSU doesn't play a role? How about Alabama who consistently puts lineman into the NFL?

What about Alabama? Nobody would fault him for going to Bama. Fsu is going downhill fast.

 

[AlexCane]

Cristobal and Mirabal took Armella off their board when they were at Oregon, they’re not going after him, too much local baggage.

So what's the deal with this kid? Did Mario pull off from him at Oregon because they had no chance to get him out there or b/c of character or other concerns? The reports from the local guys today suggest Mario is in contact with him so the idea there's baggage or some character concerns doesn't seem so likely.

I expect 2023 to be top 5.

It's ok to have recruiting expectations, lol.

Top 10 is a must and given how loaded SFLA, no excuse not to get there. Top 5 is the goal. Let’s see how good Mario is, I think he is up for it.

Also, OL is gonna be a unit we no longer struggle at. I trust Mario’s evals there.

 

[Maskoff407]

I for one think he's overrated, but we need OL and if anything, keeping him away from FSU and getting a kid from STA would be worth it

Exactly!!

I'm going to bet Mario going to milk and bleed that Columbus High connection to death until Armella signs with UM.
