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

[Highline17]

Gaby basically said he wants to get out of SoFla and probably took less money which insane. Have fun in bum**** pal.

One year in college cult station and he’ll be in the portal.

If it’s not a money issue, I completely do not understand him going to Aggieland, but oh well, im not him, and im sure he has his reasons

 

[supacane]

This should be one those situations where we always be on the wrong end. We move into a territory and get ahead for a player, then the local powerhouse up the Benjamins and they spurn us. While our insiders tell us he was ready to commit.

This should be what happens here in our benefit. I have no doubt we will always have really good OLs as long as Cristobal is here. But having múltiple 5 stars on the OL is the difference between having a really good OL and having an all time great OL. If he eventually goes hopefully we get Mr Olubobola.

We know how Mario rolls, up the bag a little....never know.

Some kids want to experience the "Traditional" college life. TAMU is that, UMiami will never be for that kind of kid. Oh well.

Some kids also want to get away from home. Never know a kids situation. This wasn't a money thing for him.

terrible eval man, I already knew what Manny was

He’d probably be a good coach. He understands the game and I think he’s smart. He just doesn’t have the level of Athletic ability needed to be the guy. But he can be the guy behind the guy. PAUSE.

Get this kid to go on visits like any other regular student off the radar of the A&M and Miami staff and see which he prefers.

hey some people gotta like cults, right...

Flagg will always be good in my book for that game winning tackle on Kulbnik.

Anyone here willing to do a traceability exercise to determine a delta of when DS’s authority seemed to be mitigated by hiring that Taylor guy, the muted recruiting fails, and the subsequent reversion to where recruiting stands today with him back in full control?

I’m not going to do it but would be cool to tie my anecdotal opinions with validated data.

I always think of that play when I think of Flagg. That and Dwins saying “I need to see elite across the board.”

 

[Paranos]

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.

The TAM oline coach vs UM'S oline is comical. Adam Cushing's resume outside of stability is nowhere near UM'S plethora of developers.

Adam Cushing is a top 5 OL coach in cfb in his own right. He had the good OLs at Northwestern for years.

Mirabal, Phil Trautwein (PSU to Florida now), Joe Rudolph (ND), Matt Luke (Clemson), Adam Cushing (A&M) is the top 5 IMO. I think the draft would tell you that as well.

Honorable mention to Kyle Flood (Texas), Brad Davis (LSU), Jim Harding (Utah), and Bill Bedenbaugh (Oklahoma). I think Flood and Davis are recruiters and in good systems moreso than elite coaches. Harding idk much about - he had the picks this year but by all accounts they didn't play that well, and Bedenbaugh was comfortably in that top 5 but is falling off the last few years.

Maybe he prefers the SEC girls to the Miami girls. Who knows.

Nah. He would have to actually be an insatiable bottom guzzling all the Butters Creamy Goo to prefer Aggie to Miami. It isnt even close.

The U college life is pretty good. Hottest babes, best climate and a ton of things to do day and night. What the **** do you do in college park for freaking four years? That is why they all become male cheerleaders. Nothing to do in that place

You don’t have to convince me. But it’s definitely a possibility.

For everyone freaking out in this thread, has the kid committed yet? It’s late Thursday after a visit high over the weekend. Maybe let’s take it down a notch and let Mario work. If the kid just wants to leave then best of luck to him.

Re-attack in a year or 2 with guys like this.

Build and maintain the relationship and be supportive/understanding of him going somewhere else.

Its a long game sometimes.
