Jonathan Colon (weirdest)
Derrick Griffin (disappointing)
Stacy Coley (excellent)

Josh Jobe (all-time worst). This guy is the one I'll always say handled things the worst, by a mile. Nothing really compares. The idea of ******* over Mark Richt of all people just takes the cake for me. I literally wouldn't give this guy the time of day, which he would likely need, because I don't believe he can read.

I don't consider Jerry Jeudy, Jeremiah Smith, or Patrick JP to be stories at all. It's purely an invention of some of our pi-in-the-sky fans that any of them were even considering Miami. It wasn't a thing.

I had to go back and search for him, but Jalen Patterson from 2018. Nothing about him made sense. The joke at the time was about whether or not he ever actually existed.

He committed to us in 2015, but then we don't hear anything about him until Ivins posts an article about him decommitting 2 years later, talking about we hadn't been in contact or considered him part of the class for a while. After that he falls off the map for good and doesn't visit or sign anywhere.

In Ivins decommittment article he claimed dude was the #6 APB. But that wasn't true because he was always ranked outside their top 1,000. So of course ESPN still to this day has him as a 4*.

There was a corner from Miami that was like 6'2" and was 3* but was allegedly talented. He got in trouble or something but none of the insiders wanted to talk about it.
 
The biggest recruiting lesson of all time regarding NO ONE being a 100% sure thing coming out of H.S. is Willie the LB. He was all-world ("he could leave H.S. and start in the NFL!") and then, not only did he get into legal trouble, but he just didn't pan out as a football player.
