LOL for such a so-called veteran you sure are overreacting to every detail. Calm down. Just b/c they aren't flipping commitments and attention whoring doesn't mean they aren't enjoying their moment in the spotlight. You need to really take some of that experience and apply it. I see you in every thread overreacting...
In other words you don't have to "play games for attention".
Back away from the cliff old-timer.
Dude its not about being some "veteran" or "old timer" Im not that fuggin old. The point is, this sh*t goes on ever year. Yes its gotten worse, but there is a pattern to this stuff, and you can usually tell when there are negative signs on some kids. My only point is to keep things in perspective and be realistic. It will be great if we get most of these kids, but ignoring many of the obvious warning signs and insisting its all just a game and that these kids are all ours, is going to set up a lot of people here for disappointment on NLOID. I hope it doesnt, but it happens EVERY f8cking year. Im just trying to inject some reality here so there isnt a total meltdown if things dont exactly workout the way many here are assuming it will.
If dudes haven't figured out that your message is that of the voice of reason trying to prevent meltdowns from those who expect greatness from UM and from those who wouldn't be shocked to see UM get the local stars UM is SUPPOSED to get they'll never figure it out.
I, for one, understand what you're trying to do (as you've stated your opinion on this 100 times), but I think it's unnecessary. Some of us think that UM should get the guys in our back yard. We did it last year. Where was all this FSU heat last year? We got our local guys, and some of us think we'll do it again. And if we don't, then we will have failed because we are SUPPOSED TO get those guys. But if we miss a guy or two, then losing a couple battles will not mean that we lost the war either.
I agree we should get the guys in our backyard, and I think we will once we start winning again, and this NCAA bullsh*t is off our backs, but there are also a lot of relatively newer posters here new to recruiting, and guys who lurk on these boards for info, and they take some of the stuff posted on here as gospel. You know this as well as I do. And even in the glory days, when we were winning and landing most of the kids we wanted, there was almost always some kid that screwed us, and we would get the inevitable, Botch Davis screwed up again, or "Coker cant close" or "Shammin is too busy playing snake", and half the board would go into a meltdown.
Im just saying, I think we are going to land some of these kids, but I see some troubling signs from some of them, and I just dont think some of the guys that many here are assuming are "locks" are going to fall our way. I dont want THAT, to taint what would otherwise be a solid class, and a **** of a job by Golden and this staff to pull in a lot of talent, considering the mediocrity of the last few years, and the NCAA hammer looming over our heads.
