[lurker]

Shut down the program.

 

[nycane]

let him go to A&M. they been winning recruiting battles for years and been underperforming since they had greg hill in the 90's

 

[MedleyCane]

Shut down the baseball program.

Fixed.

Id the kids wants to go take the money and not develop or win **** at a&m thats on him. You're either on board this ship or we gone without ya. An elite olineman would have to be ******* retarded to not wanna get developed by this staff but if they don't wanna then good luck to ya and we'll see ya when we kick your ***

You do realize A&M just had 4 OL drafted, right? Other schools actually develop OL as well. Even better than Mario. Oh no, God forbid I say that.

10 v 34
68 vs 91
188 vs 196
UDFA vs 241

Wow

I know we have missed 4 in a row. For those that do not know, we are still recruiting Upshaw. We missed on, Upshaw, MJC, Gamble and apparently Matthews. We are about to miss Dollar for a run of 5. Their is no way to positive spin this losing streak. That's a pummeling. Seriously! That looks awful and is starting to look like last off season.

Wow

My Friend, no need for facts here.

This is a Classic CIS meltdown. We are now broke and terrible at everything!

 

[Damiencane86]

TAMU wasn't gonna take losing to us in the playoffs lightly. They obviously took it personally (Jordan voice) and wanted to ensure they specifically beat us out for top tier 2026 prospects by overpaying if necessary. We better grab that Nigerian tackle or whoever the next best thing at that position is.

 

[ST26]

Dmoney just said that this wasn’t necessarily a money decision like MJC. I think he simply just liked A&M better and wanted to go there. Referred to it as an old school recruiting loss

I am sure young OL all over south Florida are going to grow up with posters of Chase Bisontis and Trey Zuhn on their walls.

 

[9oh4Cane]

Colossal failure

 

[9oh4Cane]

How do we have top NIL $ and go to the natty and still can’t pull an elite recruiting class

And they still got dominated by our DL and we had 3 OL drafted and the only 1st rounder of the 2 teams.

Depends on the number especially in relation to what you are currently paying guys who have proven themselves here.

This scenario and discussion has happened here already plenty of times, but just for the exercise; if Matthews won't take anything less than $4 million (no clue what the number is but for this exercise) but Cantwell (heading into his first year is already projected to start) is getting $2 million. Well, guess who will be making just north of $4 million before Matthews ever steps foot on campus? What about the rest of that room?

It's not about saving money to use on a different recruit; it's about securing a commitment for a guy at the right price. Decisions here are far more wide reaching than an individual high schooler

But we just found out it wasn’t money
So basically Mario got out recruited by elko flat out

And the year before that

Yup

 

[Canefan4life]

A&M already has 9 out of the top 100 for 27 as it sits... here they go again back on that 2022 buying out the class run. Jesus... Be nice if we keep the top player in Florida home for once.

 

[TheUBack]

Shïte rationalization by @DMoney. Dude comes off like Baghdad Bob. There is no way this is not a money deal. If it is not a money deal we need to fire some people. Who is not connecting and needs to go.
