Savion Collins

[flagator86]

drop him. he isn't a take at UF right now and hes just using us as his placeholder.

That's the feeling we get over at Swamp Gas. Seems like Watson is a bigger priority at the moment than Collins with Thomas being a "conditional" take. We'd take Taylor, Watson, and Collins obviously but Watson has been mentioning A&M recently who knows

DE:

Boone
Sapp
Langston (?)

DT:

Thomas
Watson (?)
Taylor (?)
Collins (?)

Not to mention Gilliam, Jeremiah Williams, and Armitage

I don't understand why we continue to let him remain committed? It's obvious both sides have moved on

Neither side wants to admit it but we're both each others back-up option. Until UF offers Savion a spot or we land Taylor, status quo remains

I understand that everyone wants Collins but he's the one who started all of this. Some months ago he said the only reason he was still committed to us was because of his mom. When the writings on the wall I don't blame our staff. In addition it was reported a few months ago that we were still evaluating him.

My guess is that Collins wants to flip and it's no longer his mom holding him back. He doesn't have the greenlight from UF or LSU and this might be his way of trying to get back on our radar. If that's the case he should call up Manny. Again, this is a guess I don't know shiitt, I'm most likely 100% wrong. This is just my opinion of things.

I don't get why we don't expand our DT board? I'm sure we can find a good out of state DT who wants to play here.

I understand that but I don’t agree with the recruiting strategy. DT is one of the most important positions to recruit. Collins can play. Why cut off communication with the kid regardless of Taylor? Doesn’t make sense. Reeks of the time tested strategy we have seen not work at this program

Manny's approach since he's taken over is take kids who want to be here... Clearly he doesn't want to be here. A bad attitude out weighs any type of talent you may have

 

[Mikep]

This kid has had UF smoke for a while and even six months ago people were talking about him flipping. I think the staff realized he would leave regardless how hard they recruited him so they are shifting attention to Taylor.

 

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

Maybe the kid is flat out lying to make his decommitment easier.

Donell Harris said the same garbage last year, about us cutting communication.

Easy way out for hometown kids.

 

[RangerGranger]

Good lord these kids get played!!!!

I imagine the only ones that hold commitments are the ones that can handle a girl friend in high school.

I agree with everything you said.

 

[nycane]

I been hearing a long time we don’t really want him. Not sure how true it is

 

[86Gang]

Maybe they want to bring an in extra WR or RB. To be honest if he is being processed out it would be a ****** decision. You can never recruit too many DTs, since the games are won in the trenches.

If they don’t help the team **** em. You want Darius “The Plug” again??

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Why are we dropping this kid?

I just have a feeling that once Collins started flirting with Florida after his commitment, Manny grew sour of the situation. He has this no visit policy afer committing that he installed. So, if you have that policy, you have to follow thru with it. I don't blame him.

If you made the decision to be a CANE, then be a CANE. Otherwise, move the **** along!!!

 

[86Gang]

I understand that, but Collins is making it seem UM is dropping the contact. Which to me is not a good idea. Recruiting is very fluid, just imagine if we keep Collins committed, get Brashard and Taylor, and have a good season, I'm pretty sure he would stay committed. That scenario is pretty realistic as well.

It could be a great move if we swap him with Taylor. Then how would you feel?

 

[Number1CanesFan]

A couple of uf fans are saying he's not a take for them at the moment. Idk how true that is. Could be a reason why he hasn't officially flipped yet. I mean, reading his statement, why stay committed to us??

We should just drop him. I don't want any kid that feels forced to be a Cane. Insulting.

 

[canes732]

Can’t drop him. He is ******* teammates with a 5* u can’t treat him like that Taylor will see that as BS

 

[CanesNY26]

This is the longest commit we’ve had that everyone expects him to decommit. Has to be mom keeping him from leaving

Agreed there has been a sense that he would have flipped to UF already if his mom had been able to visit.

I would have liked to take him and Taylor; I’d be interested to know the specifics of him not speaking to the staff and if that is them not reaching out or him not taking their calls.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

So you don't want Miami to constantly get played or you want Miami to "show love" to a kid that has made it clear he's bouncing as soon as he gets an offer elsewhere? Which is it?

You either drop kids that are clearly using Miami as a placeholder or get embarrassed when you tell the kid he's a priority and he leaves anyways.

Make up your minds.

I wouldn't mind, but history tells me that is not likely to happen and you can never go wrong stacking bodies at one of these most important positions on the team.

You like Collins over Moise? I’m just saying, if he doesn’t play OG here.

I'm not sure, I really dont know what to look when it comes to DT. I know Moise has a better shuttle and his tape is better at the DT, but Collins has some good athletic traits, besides that shuttle. I am not sure which translates to the next level better.
