Golden lost the most explosive offensive player in the state. No need to diminish Cook's skill and down talk his talent. Makes you look bitter and ***.
It's one step below "never had a committable offer."
What the **** did u want Golden to do in this situation WhatTheHell?
Convince the kid miami is where he wants to be, it's what recruiting is all about. This whole tweet by freeman is being blown out of proportion anyway. That being said, back to ur statement and it's one I see here all the time. Something along the lines the staff did everything they could. That makes it sound like you believe the recruiting game is similar to filling out a bunch of paper work and then crossing ur fingers and hoping that whatever you applied for gets randomly chosen. It's more than that. Yes on one hand you might have the disadvantage of the kid wanting to get away, but on the flip side you do have his whole family here, plus his own brother that attends school at Miami. Are we supposed to ignore that? Recruiting is about convincing players not just going through a checklist of steps and then saying I did all I could...........
That ain't all that recruiting is about and I ain't saying that Dalvin is getting a deal, but the people who act as if that game isn't played, annoy me to no end and right in through here, it's a game that we can't play on the level of the big boys.
This ain't simply about Al Goldens vs. Urban Meyer, or Al Goldens vs. Jimbo Fisher, or Al Goldens vs. Nick Saban. There is a whole lot more at play and you would be naive to think otherwise.
