Signing Day Buzz: 6 Days Away

[JHallCanes]

Could this have been a package deal with Thomas and that was the only reason Kirkland had an offer? Why would the staff's feeling on Thomas affect Kirkland?

No. Kirkland is legit and would have an offer regardless.

I'm calling bs on what ice harris is saying. We're waiting on a number of kids to commit and for some unknown reason we just decide to pull this kids scholarship. Makes no sense at all. I'm just guessing but if i was a betting man i'd say something else went down to cause this. The story of a numbers issue just doesn't make any sense.

Agreed. AG is too organized for that.

With that I'm out

 

[JHallCanes]

y'all acting like miami pulling one scholarship from one kid is gonna turn the entirety of south florida against the school are absolutely insane

You must not understand the dynamics of inner city coaching and how ALL these guys have coached together, regardless of rivalries these guys all know eachother. COACH ICE was like an ambassador for the U. Just wait til somebody put a mic in Luke face, laff. Ice is a miami guy, if he said it was a done deal, its done. Go check the history with BTW guys, they do the same play from the playbook every year, play the game wait til signing day, announce for the U. Harris jr slipped one time and said they do it to get as many coaches thru the door to get some other players shine, These coaches all about getting as many kids into college. You cant do something like this last second and not expect a huge backlash. Every critic gonna be out wanting a piece.

This is what you call BAD BUSINESS. smh

The **** you gonna call it bad business when you don't even know what the business is?

 

[drewFLAK]

wait. we know for sure that kirklands offer is pulled? who is sourcing that info?

No, they don't.

Kirkland and ice should be happy we pulled it if we knew he wasnt getting in. How mad would they be if we knew he wouldnt get in but still led him on. Would that look good on our part?

Could this have been a package deal with Thomas and that was the only reason Kirkland had an offer? Why would the staff's feeling on Thomas affect Kirkland?

No. Kirkland is legit and would have an offer regardless.

So why would the coaches feelings on Thomas have anything to do with Kirkland?

From Pete's post:

Without going into detail, Miami has been worried over the last week about Thomas wanting out of town, and the "dropping" of Kirkland is likely related to Thomas' situation.

Is Golden just telling BTW to kick rocks? Did they take cash? That line implies that it's more than just grades.

When Ice is telling the local Paper its messed up, Believe its bad business. If it was gatewood, whatever. Ice? Comeon, I never go overboard with one kid or anything like that but you dont think this looks bad?

I have no answer there man. But if Thomas didn't exists I would bet we would still be on Kirkland or would have anyway. He's really good.

I would have thought the same 20 minutes ago. Now I'm not so sure. Or, like my edit, they want cash.

I'm saying it just doesn't make sense to be so blunt about it when we have nothing concrete. You're basically talking about this massive ripple effect when we don't even know how big the rock was.

Golden has shown that he understands what the local schools mean. To think he would **** on that is insanity.

 

[ItsMeD]

Removing kirkland from situation, theres absolutely no reason for guys like 6 and bryant to go anywhere but miami, especially to fsu. This is a bad spot

Fair enough. I got nothing. You could very well be right of course

Either that or these kids wanted cash. Weird line to drop in that post.

 

[aintnothangbutacane]

All I will say re: cash is. If there was ANYTHING shady going down, with the spot Miami is in with the NCAA, I don't doubt they risk carpet bombing this entire class for the long term health of the program. They cant go into any grey areas or even **** around with the thought of a non kosher player/situation right now

 

[moshated305]

Why not just sign and place Kirkland? I don't get it. You are willing to lose two studs from your backyard over one kid possibly having to prep? Think we overplayed our hand at this point.

If he did or didnt isnt the problem, guys like Ice carry alot of weight in the city. If he feels wronged then you look at our commit list with every olineman a project from out of state its not a good look. AT ALL. This aint a coach to go off the cuff like that, for Ice to speak like that, smh.

 

[TallyCane]

Can somebody tell me whats going on? Is it grades or scholarships? Cause Ice said he has a 2.8 and passing score.
