Losing to Auburn is a joke. They are a completely trash program. I’m sure our NIL is close to whatever they are offering or would it just be the typical ‘Auburn offered 27x what we did’ to make the fake insiders feel better

They aren’t a completely trash program, have yall lost your minds? It’s Auburn. They are a top third of the SEC program with a new coach smell, a ton of resources, a good recruiter at this kid’s position, and no depth chart.

One kid *might* commit to Auburn and you guys act like kids are turning down Miami to go to FIU. Auburn is still very enticing to kids. The SEC is still very enticing to kids. A lot of money is still very enticing to kids. Yall need to chill out. I want this kid here too but it’s April, for one, and this kid has no connection to Miami at all, you don’t think Auburn can convince kids to come play for them?

They signed the #8 class in the country literally 15 months ago. It was #10 the year before that. You think they got Cam Coleman to commit there because he likes throwing toilet paper into trees? Need some Xanax in this thread.

RB productivity is a downstream effect of a good OL. We have a pretty loaded RB room. Losing Matthews would actually hurt. I would go all in there.

That’s my guess. Having such a loaded RB room means the full bank is not being used in a bidding war. Saving it for another position.

People just want everybody but if Auburn threw out an absurd number it would be crazy to try and match it. And, if that is the case, don't get mad at Miami for not overpaying. I would absolutely overpay for Matthews, especially if they think he's another Cantwell.

At some point we have to start to close these battles we feel ultra good about. Pete gets flack for what he says but he is absolutely right. These are battles that simply need to be won against inferior programs.

I have faith in a flip down the road is possible but it shouldn’t come to that.

Very disappointing there is no spinning it

The Thing is we’re probably losing at least 3 of those RBs next year between the draft and the transfer portal.
 
We should just trade our coaching staff for Auburns then he'd come here

The board has a hard time being honest with itself. It’s either full on doom or just cope. This would be a major loss but we can take steps to mitigate that loss by grabbing Keys and then allowing the left over money to someone else. Major loss but we can weather that storm even if it’s bad.

The flip side of that coin is always rationalizing that any recruit we coveted was solely just another program over bidding for them. We get upset and up in arms when we get accused of this very thing.

If we got beat for this kid, we got beat, it was stated over and over that he was a priority. Mario is an excellent recruiter, always has been, but as Pete stated(and I hate to agree with him) has had some spotty history of communicating overconfidence and then missing the mark. It’s okay to point that out, it’s not some indictment that he can’t recruit. It’s just acknowledging and processing both good and bad data points.

Bro UF is recruiting at a higher level than is rn. Beyond embarrassing but I’m sure the staff will have some no name sleeper with ‘physical traits’ go public soon
