Shaq Quarterman- Bama comin

[cane since birth]

I said this before when McCloud went on that visit to AUB with his parents. My theory about this whole thing is that these kids are doing the smart thing by lining up back-up plans in case we bomb this year and Golden gets canned along with his entire staff. Its the smart play. **** even 90% of the fans out there are not expecting us to be any good this year.

I do not doubt their love for the U. Shaq and Zach. Even ARichards as well. And I do not doubt that they want to be here. But there is no use in pretending like there isn't a good chance that Golden gets fired if we don't win 9-10 games and/or the Coastal division.

I would love to hear if UKnowWhat agrees with my theory.

This right here, the most common sense thing said here

I agree... and to boot 7 or 8 of these kids are on track to graduate in DECEMBER just a few months away. If the staff is replaced after the season...when do you announce your new coach??? Do kids commit then wait to see who the new coach will be... again 7 or 8 a large percentage of 2016 will EE

Most bama players are overrated. During thr draft they said that a lot of nfl teams are seeing. Saban coaches alllall of his db's personally and they are all BUSTS

Now I agree with the db assessment... Bama has never been really good in coverage... They usually have head hunters but they are usually suspect in coverage... Aggressive group but they can't cover... As far as the bust assessment it's exaggerated... The majority of their recent 1st rounders have been good... I personally think Sabsn gets the most out of all of his players until it becomes evident that they over achieve... They had a converted running back setting qb records at that school... They will continue to have top picks and NFL teams will continue to draft them...

I second that motion. That is why I say that the Admin must make the call early enough and with a name that can hold the class together and possibly make a few improvements. Must be in place weeks before first contacts can be made and be ready to hit the ground running when personal contacts can be made prior or after bowl season.

...Or Frank Gore, or Willis McGahee, or Clinton Portis, or Ray Lewis, or Calais Campbell, or Jon Beason, or Warren Sapp, or Reggie Wayne, or Brandon Meriweather, or Santana Moss...

Golden and his staff did a great job with all those guys. Kudos to Al!!!

I have a CS subscription. Headline is misleading IMO, nothing in there really scares me one bit. All he says is that Miami and Bama are the only schools he is even considering still and that he hasn't shut down his recruitment yet. Based of of that article there is no reason to worry right now.

So you have an allegedly "committed" player telling the world he's still considering Alabama and that he hasn't shut down his recruiting yet. Combine that with Golden's stellar history of hanging onto commitments, and you're not concerned? LULZ.

This, most schools should do that, it makes sense but most BOTs dont see that and wait

You have his father posting on the board and is pro Miami telling us he can't wait to sign and you keep trying to spin. Man quit with your bullish*t...

Smart play. And to be frank, im sure you will know by the end of Oct whether your kid will be wearing O&G or Crimson because if Al loses to NEB/FSU/VTech/Clem back to back to back to back he wont last the season.

All I hope is that they fire him before Nov and get a new coach lined up as one poster said and not wait until after the season. That would be the worst case scenario for this program. It would set us back another 2-3 years. Smh.

(Obviously, the best case scenario is that we run the table or win 10-11 games and then we will all look back on these emails this time next year and laugh.)

 

[grover]

If our season is strong, everything will fall into place. But I would hope that even if our season starts out weak, commits like Shaq don't jump until they find out who the new HC will be. What if it's a guy like Chud or Tubbs who would likely keep most of the position coaches in place? Or what if Miami finally ponies up with some $$ and pulls in a top name (maybe not a Harbaugh, but someone like a Petrino)? If Blake James has any talent at all, he will have names on a short list already lined up by now and be ready to hire as soon as the regular season ends in November. Hopefully kid wait until then. Certainly. nearly every program in the country would still find space for Shaq in December if he didn't like his options at Miami.

His point was regarding players being "lucky" to make it 10 years in the league. Alabama players may be 5 stars out of high school, but for the most part don't amount to jack **** in the league with a few exceptions. All that deer antler spray doesn't work once Mark Emmert isn't in control.

 

[WR Cane]

The University of Miami is so much bigger than Al Golden. I would hope most of these kids, if not all, are committing to the university, and not Golden. Certainly, they saw us play last year and the results, so hopefully, they are committed to the love for the University of Miami, and not Al Golden.

 

[westcoastcanes]

Bama started really flirting with Shaq back in May... They invited him out (still scheduling), and he talked with Saban this summer. I'm not a huge Bama fan but I have to admit I even got excited when Shaq was talking with him. Bama-Saban they are near the very top of the college football totem pole so if you are not flattered when they ring, your detached from the game. I have had my share of surprises during Shaq's recruitment, but I would be extremely surprised to see him anywhere other than Miami, but this is his decision... this will effect the rest of his life not mine so I can't do nothing more than give my best advise. Early in his recruitment they had that bug in his ear that he is an SEC Linebacker... everywhere we went... He and I are Cane Fans but this is a life decision to be made with our heads not heart... But once he go down there with Darrion and started assimilating with the other team members... Miami became home... His high school girlfriend moved over the summer...about 10 miles from the University of Miami campus... I see that as a sign... his stars aligning. Flattered by Bama... Yes Flattered by talking with Saban... Yes Flipping from Miami... I would be shocked....

Oh and for the record, the fact that this statement needed to be included in here should scare the living **** out of all canes fans.

also, awesome use of 10 to 15 year old examples. Still valid in today's game.

....It is a meat grinder and it takes some luck and ridiculous talent to last 10+ seasons and become an Ed Reed or Andre Johnson.

Apparently reading comprehension isn't a prerequisite to being a poster here. My ABBREVIATED list of Canes that have lasted 10 years recently seems to be stumping a few of you. Give me a list like that from another school and I'll concede. I can double that list! Choose the U everytime!

 

[JgDaCane]

U

He and his pops/uncle frequent the website without question. There has been absolutely zero that has happened in the last few months on the field to influence this. The kid and fam are die hard Canes fans. With nothing else to pay attention to during the off season, Internet perusal and workouts dominate the itinerary for many kids. With the garbage many of you idiots have been spewing towards kids , telling them not to come, "spare your kids the agony", etc., I wouldn't be surprised if one of the best linebackers in the country and most die hard fans did explore other avenues. Keep up the good work idiots. This class has playmakers across the board. Regardless of the coaching situation, we need studs like Shaq, Zach, and Mike. We need you Shaq! The morons are the minority!

Or maybe just maybe people arent selfish like you & want kids to oh idk succeed? which we all know without question they will not do at Miami. Go Shaq Go get yourself a ring with coach Saban. Dont let all Golden waste your talents & kill your draft stalk.
