2024 Miami Hurricanes Land Five-Star Recruit Armondo Blount...Again

[Jassid82]

If FSU guys are conceding..its for a reason. Probably stopped returning FSU phone calls or is ghosting them. Totally different vibe then the "Riley visiting Bama this weekend" news. UM guys dont seem to be jumping ship and changing predictions just yet. FSU knows its only a matter of time and this is pretty much over. That is very positive news for a real flip.

I'm not saying this is apples to apples.. but I would rather have the kid onboard today and see what shakes out down the road, maybe he leaves maybe he doesn't.. but I thought Antoine Jackson would be a total bust after all his back and forth last year, and he went on to really surprise as a FR. DL obviously harder to compete early than at CB.. but it's a good problem to have.

Its pretty damning the Norvell can go 13-0, Mario can't coach and is 12-12 in his first two years at UM, and kids would rather play for Mario.

So, Blount is an elite prospect again?

 

[Ghandi]

I feel like there's probably not enough data here but I wonder if anyone's actually looked into recruits that re-classify and whether what % of those end up becoming busts.

Great question.

It’s a relatively new thing, so we may just not have enough to see how it affects the kid and outcome.

So far, I have two data points. The DB from last year and now Blount.

 

[franchiseboi]

Love that he's an early enrollee too, that'll be huge for him

 

[Samoan Souljah]

Dis how funny is for us. All these fools putting in flips gon make Blount change his mind and stay with FSU. Don't let it happen MC lol.

 

[01Canes]

Thrilled to see we landed the final weekend visit from Blount.

A DT class with Artavius Jones as the third highest-rated DT behind a pair of 5*'s in Scott and Blount would be a phenomenal haul.

For the moment.

That depends dynole, is he signing with FSU?

Kid just seems immature, like we all were at that age. Hopefully staying close to home and with some guidance will serve him well.

Paging Dr. @lindend.

Put this kid in Bains hip pocket teach him how to be a savage and let’s ride!

And let’s not forget too that he should be a JR in HS rn… certainly not giving up on a 16 year old with a little immaturity.

He might be setting a trap for us.

I’m a big fan of it if those kids are mature and take the workout plan seriously. Don’t get discouraged bc you get a redshirt, etc. If not, it defeats the entire purpose of doing it.

I’d imagine the whole trial by fire thing isn’t great for 17 year old linemen in P5. But you might can get away with it at some skill positions.

Mario is not a new HC, people forget that he has a track record at Oregon to fall back and point to. Not just what has happen here at a place who been losing for decades.

big news coming out of Tallahassee on Monday or Tuesday. Stay tuned!

This kid flips back to the good side, and I see him dropping to a 4 star....tick and a tock...
