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

[grover]

Kid is going to win the floor routine in Olympic gymnastics with all these flips. It’s all about the money. He can’t get it until he graduates HS and matriculates so he’s reclassified. He likes both programs so he’ll let the highest NIL decide (maybe Miami is a marginal favorite but we need to match).

The real challenge is how to structure the contract. Because if he doesn’t see the field a lot in year one and the money isn’t tied up somehow, he’s hitting the portal. Whoever is handling NIL contracting is fast becoming one of our most important “staffers” even if they aren’t technically working for the program.

Kid is talented but he's already a **** headache. Hope the staff vets him enough to know he's worth it if we somehow flipped him back cuz I know he won't contribute year 1.

And seems like he'd be a battle to be kept out of the portal every year anyways.

Agreed; better he bust here than elsewhere...meaning you take the risk with players of this caliber (the only exception of course would be if there are character issues) because he raises your floor even if he busts. But, his ceiling is so much higher than your typical 3-star (South Florida 3 star or not) that even as a bust he would be no different than said 3-star.

You bring in the talent and rely on your culture and roster to maximize the kid's potential.

A future passing rushing DL of Wayne, Bain, Blount, and Lightfoot would be fun to watch.

And to add to this, you also have to take into consideration what Jeudy said in 2017 and Im paraphrasing, savages want to play with savages. Landing a 5 star brings positive attention to the program in general. These kids take notice when you are bringing in top talent. They want to compete against the best and be the best.

Cause Bain is Bain. Miami didn't make him who he is. He would be doing this at any school.

And from what I understand we like Blount inside, not at the edge. Maybe FSU is selling him on playing edge.
That would be my guess.

While I agree with you about that…

Perception will always be that whoever and whatever program is part of the reason for said player… the bosa brothers were gonna be beasts no matter what… yet OSU gets full credit

Etc…

Kid seems mad immature which is expected since he's still a child lol. He needs to stay in high school another year to develop and mature as a young man. He likely will not contribute his first year maybe even his second due to his age/size. Y'all really think with the way he's already moving he'll be mature enough to wait a year or two to play? After that Jackson kid that reclassified and left I'm good on this idea and willing to concede to FSU and let him be their headache.

When the kids act like this they're usually the puppets and the parent is pulling the strings! See Cormani McClain!

Hey Bount, J. Scott’s gonna take all the double teams. You gonna eat. That’s the message.

 

[305407cane]

Ayo Blount. We good

 

[redrum2340]

Don’t pass on talent. Especially talent in your backyard. Bad optics

 

[cway313]

Hey big head.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Ayo Blount. We good

You’re buggin

 

[Dwinstitles]

I have Scott over him by a long shot but you still recruit him like he’s the talent he is. This DL will be nasty regardless.

 

[USNAVYCANE]

Anyone saying no to him flipping back is crazy, let that man realize his mistake and correct it.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Next yr our 3rd down pass rush as of right now:
EDGE: Nyjalik Kelly / Lightfoot
DL: Bain / JHH /
DL: Mesidor / Campbell / Archeompong
Edge: Bain / Wayne / Cyrus Moss /

Where is Moten and Horton?

 

[MiamiVice7]

1000% committed to Miami. Flips to FSU….solid to FSU. A few weeks later, continues to visit Miami, leaves the door open. What’s with these guys?

They’re high schoolers. I was an idiot in high school. All my friends were idiots.

It's a Multiverse of Commitments!

 

[calinative umstudent]

Where is Moten and Horton?

*FSU writer says he is concerned on Blount and we have momentum with him.

Isn’t smith a south Florida recruit too

 

[BALLHAWKU]

Heard about 2 different flips greater than 50/50 chance and Blount wasn’t one of them

All on defense

My guess the Florida gator commit lb ?
