Sounds like A&M really did drop a pallet of cash off for Mathews. They are going in on Mathews instead of Olu I guess...

I mean idk if Olu is as much plug and play as Mathews is. I imagine we'd just pivot to him. .... Or do we just get Sam-Epelle as our top OT?

But I wonder if what A&M is paying to get Mathews from us takes them out of the Kennedy Brown running.

According to their mod, they could take up to 4 more OL, 3 minimum. Matthews, Olu, Brown, and Simien are all in play and they’d take all of them. They have the money to do it. Considering MM is probably pulling trigger first, it’s a no brainer.

I still have a hard time seeing this kid saying no to us but like I said, we’ll be fine either way.

Crazy Texas is allowing TAMU To load like this on the OL given they have a $1m club for their OL lol

They bought 8 or 9 5* players back in 2022 including pretty much all of the 5* defensive linemen. Oil money and an enrollment of 81k. Essentially unlimited resources.

And that was a disaster. Didn’t most end up leaving? They had the number 1 ranked class and it was insane.

Yeah they had 18 of the top 100 players that signing class

That place freaks me out so much. I know money matters but I'm shocked people visit there and aren't just so turned off by the cultish behavior.

Then again, cults are really good at getting new people to join their cult.

Gaby just said he's truly weighing his options and it while he has a crystal ball for Matthews, it could realistically go in A&M's favour.

Long visit to a big $$$ program (TAMU) +
Commit date announced shortly after returning +
Insiders hedging and walking back prior "Cane!" takes =
Brace yourself for bad day (usually).

But **** there's a lot to sell here. Proven development, possibility of early playing time (and track record of starting 5* TF OTs), coach's recent history putting OL into the NFL, recent success on the football field and legitimate chance to compete for a Natty... all finally in our favor for a 5* local recruit. Hopefully this ends in UM's favor, though recent events do not inspire confidence.

yea that's all true but does that equal the extra 2-3 million he's probably getting from aTm ?

That's what money does Make you weigh your options. No **** Gabby tell us something we don't know. The question is Miami going to match the offer. The NIL change the game. These recruiting websites is the ones that's having problems with there predictions. Especially that turtle 🐢 stevie wiltfong he flipped his predictions more than a old pair of slippers.

I don't think Matthews was offended no more than 3 million so my question to you, are we going there with ours offer? Cause i don't believe Texas a&m will offer anybody 5 million dollars with all those others 5 stars they in it for. Unless they will 60 million dollar roster.
 
Cajuncane said:
do you know what Miami's offer is and how it compares to the aTm oil money....until you know that and I know that it's on conjecture by both of us as to what the offers are in comparison. All I know is that aTm has the money as they showed in '22 to just buy anyone they want .

And what's your point? I'm telling you they not going to offer anybody what some of those PTSD canes are saying right now. So you are telling me you are going to offer 1 player 5 million dollar that never played a down of cfb? Coming Mann get real. I don't care if you are Jeff bezo not happening

Didn’t that 2022 class have a price tag of something like 20 or 30 million allegedly?
