Mark Matthews Decommits from TAMU

I’m thinking the kid and his camp want to make sure he’s getting the highest amount if he’s going to open his recruitment. So his camp shut down the “for sure to Miami” done deal talk. Even if he is leaning Miami, let me see can I make them sweat and get a few more dollars.
 
I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed to see all the zesty comments. Same guys bicchin about the OL all year are over here making slanderous comments about the #1 OT prospect. I don’t care if this guy gulps down ball park franks like Joey Chestnut, if the dude can keep our QB clean, he’s welcome here.

Glad ya liked. I’m sooooooo fuccin salty from that GD game last night. I’m trying my best to get over it and move on. A laugh generally helps. Better than crying I suppose.

My guess is, it comes down to signing day. I’m not an insider so don’t get too bent out of shape.

Either way, best case scenario is we spend our portal money almost solely on the OL. The guys we currently have aren’t going to win you a championship even if they all came back. The SJ experiment was a disaster. I don’t even want him at C.

If I were in Mario’s shoes, I would do exactly what Will Stein did and I would buy 3-4 good O-lineman, including the best C, LT and RT money can buy me in the portal. I would add a good Guard as well. Let Congdon battle for RT, Cantwell battle for LT. That’s assuming Samson doesn’t come back, which nobody knows at this point. I will say this.. I’m over the Samson LT experiment as well. Guards get picked in the first round. So move him back to guard if he stays and let him show he’s a first round pick at LG.

This has to happen if we want to win it all next year.

Big facts SJ has to be sitting and Samson never saw the field early and we know why. He is a guard period. Also LSU and others will be bidding the same money on OL so the portal is not guaranteed as we saw last cycle with Seaton. We need to land the HS studs and if they aren’t good they transfer. McCoy as well needs to be a guard. It shows how bad we whiffed at tackle that you have to move guards to play tackle.

Have any LSU reporters commented on this? From 247 or on3?

On On3, just early after the decommitment where he mentioned seemed to be Miami but MM's a guy they'd break the bank for. (Also a thread with fans under the impression DJ Pickett was transferring to Miami this year... On3 writer said he doesn't see him leaving as long as Raymond is around)

On 247, nothing I noticed on MM.

Miami is the program that has pushed the hardest to flip Matthews over the last several months, and that push only picked up this fall. When he backed off his Texas A&M pledge on Sunday, and after checking in with a few sources in the wake of the news, the Hurricanes looked like the clear pick -- leading myself, and several others to log predictions in favor of the 'Canes.

At this time, however, Miami does not look like the landing spot here, per multiple sources with knowledge of this recruitment.

Miami is the hometown school for Matthews, who is South Florida's top ranked recruit regardless of class. Miami has had him as a top priority for years and that remains the case to this day. However, there is a feeling that Matthews may be set on playing his college football somewhere other than his backyard. That was the sentiment when he originally committed to Texas A&M over the summer and remains the case with less than a month until Signing Day.

The schools I am keeping an eye on are the other two finalists from the spring, Georgia and LSU. Both were in it until the end in May, and both are back in play now.

Of the two, Georgia is the school I am watching the closest. The Bulldogs have quietly made a move here. Matthews has a strong relationship with the entire Georgia staff, including multiple coaches in the offensive line room. The depth of that room stood out to him in the spring, and it still does.

Georgia is off to a 8-1 start and is fresh off a dominating 42-7 win at Ole Miss. Like several other of his finalists, UGA plays offensive linemen early, too. The Bulldogs are starting a true freshman at right guard this season, Zykie Helton, who has started every game. Dontrell Glover started as a true freshman last season, and Juan Gaston played in all but one game as a freshman.

Matthews will have a chance to play early wherever he lands. The chance to do it in the SEC is especially appealing to him, and Georgia can sell that, along with being a perennial title contender.

You are so **** gullible this kid is taking you and all these clowns for a ride why are they now saying LSU and Georgia now to throw the sent off. Now you see 👀 they got all ours attention now 80 plus posts. It's started with Tom loy been saying Miami hurricanes in the end remember go back and read. Then on3 guys were cb in picks for miami hurricanes . This kid is from South Florida and think about it for a second Mario told us they was still recruiting this guy until the end why? After they had other guys like the other Florida kid from Texas a&m commit line backer. They told him to take a walk. Mark Matthews is selling you something. Stop being gulliboo folks

The Henderson kid we don’t gaf about. He’s like 210 pounds he won’t be flying around at LB like that in college. Once he adds weight I doubt he moves the same since he’s that small, and big RBs will punish him. Glad we did not land him, the OSU commit at LB looks way better
