Mark Matthews commits to TAMU in ambiguously ___ manner. Move On

[TheUBack]

I just truly dont believe the dollars were equal. That has to be misinformation. Maybe they think lying about that makes it easier to accept. But they are wrong. Because otherwise, every other rich person on earth chooses Coral Gables or Miami Beach over rural East Texas. We had to get outbid, and probably by a sizable margin.

Is there a problem with STA?

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

D$ says it's not money.
Posters respond that it must be money.

This all tracks.

Maybe the kid is Forrest Gump level IQ

D$ didn’t really answer the question, why Tx A and M.Obviously prefers them but why.
Has to be money, they offered multi million $ that Miami could not match.
NIL money is limited, have to allocate funds judiciously.There is money for OL and Qb etc.
Cannot just offer Matthew’s $3-4 million when you paid Cantwell $2 mill.
Also we are stacked on the OL for years to come
Have other bigger needs(DT DE for example)

I live in Texas. College Station is a nice town of about 131,000 people.

Game day atmosphere is amazing. Been to several games there to watch Miami.

Fans are super nice and devoted to their team (almost cult like as some have stated).

I guarantee every fan knew who Mathew's was when he visited for 5 days.

Move on, and fill his spot with another high quality player.

GO CANES

Because if the money is equal, maybe the staff weirds him out. Maybe our guys arent good salesmen. Maybe he got a girl pregnant out there or has opps in Fort Lauderdale. If the money is actually equal, it is so much more concerning.

2 of the worst back to back L's in memory. Inexplicable really. No way to spin it. U strike while you up, we seem to be trying to get back with FSU

Where in the **** do you people come from?

lol if that’s true Mario got out-recruited by Elko that’s insane. I duno who said it, but is Mario an overrated recruiter? To get beat out for an elite OL in your backyard to the team you just beat in the Playoffs. I don’t care how you take it, but it’s a TERRIBLE look when recruiting is your biggest asset as a Coach

 

[skeeter]

We have two 5-stars committed and it’s April.

This is where they seem to go crickets?

 

[BALLHAWKU]

So a 5 star ot , 4 , og and two 3 star development kids is a bad haul ?

 

[Go Canes!!]

This place is pathetic.

 

[TooColdToHold]

The top 5 class narrative is hilarious. I don’t know why we continue to do this year after year. Top 7-10 in high school recruiting is the ceiling. We just have to supplement with top notch portal acquisitions.

 

[252cane]

Is it that he wants to play left tackle? We already have one?

That’s an excuse. The nfl don’t care. If he shows the athleticism and skill set for LT nfl teams will put him there

Agee the nj kid is a 5 star kid too that will make 3 , land a 5 star De and some 4 star DT

The ability of adults (I think?) on this board to have literally ZERO perspective or critical thinking skills genuinely never ceases to amaze me. Been following this **** on the Internet with strangers for 25 years and it’s still fascinating. Every time.

 

[Otiscane]

Jatori Williams, Olu and another five star is a must now. Up DJ Jacobs bag, this **** personal Mario.

 

[jtwist89]

There’s no reason or historically relevant reference to believe we will land a top 5 class. As a whole, we need to set the right expectation moving forward. We are not getting everyone and we do not have some elite war chest that allows us to win multiple 5 star battles.

The quicker this is understood, the better this board will handle news like this.

We are still a good recruiting program but this top class bs that happens EVERY APRIL needs to stop

1 positive is our evals have been outstanding.

 

[pyhooya]

I just think elko took it personal and bent mario over he’ll probably land olo too

It’s not hard
Elko out recruits Mario
Mario may be a better game day coach but Elko is a better recruiter
