Amazing how one extra star alone will prevent a total sh**storm of a reaction to the offer on here. Now the moaners will begrudgingly accept it while still comparing the kid to someone local disirregardlessly.

Definite nut swinger here. Not a real fan..fire everyone

disirregardlessly? LOL

Came here to read the reaction to the offer, see what people think about the kid, his fit here, competition, playing style, level of interest, etc. Instead I get folks complaining in advance about the complaining comments they suspect will be posted. Thanks, Randy.

So you're complaining about the anticipatory complaining? You're worse than Randy's clock management skills!

The idiots on these boards never seem to understand that star ratings are sometimes a function of which schools are chasing a kid. I forgot who it was, one of the big time recruiting gurus of the '80's, maybe it was Max Emfinger, who told me some kids get rated high because of the schools showing interest. Maybe it was Allan Wallace at SuperPrep, I don't remember. I think maybe it was Wallace.

Since there were so many under-the-radar south Florida kids back then, our recruits were never highly rated. I still think there are under-the-radar kids, perhaps more in south Florida than other places. Bobby Bowden used to say the schools in south Florida were so big it was hard to unearth all the less-celebrated but still worthy prospects. Maybe UM had an advantage because we were on the ground.

Will be a five star before all is said and done.
