Brock are you the same person as Harrison Tenzer from twitter?

I understand the theory behind the tough guy approach with local recruits who spurn UM then want back in. I question the efficacy of it though, as no one outside of the diehards who read Pete's reports know that's what we're doing. The coaches can't speak publicly on recruits, and it's not Rick's style to talk about that sort of stuff anyway.
So, in reality, we have a policy that sounds good in theory but probably isn't all that meaningful in reality because no one knows about it.
I'm all for looking at this type of stuff on a case by case basis. If Grimes is good enough to help us win and wants to come here, then go get him.
iron sharpens iron, bring grimes in period...
Iron does sharpen iron, but when iron meets glass, glass shatters into a thousand little pieces and is hard as fvck to clean up.
But here's what I know: Grimes was a top prospect coming out of STA. Ran fast at the Opening. Tall with good size. And by all accounts, a very polished route runner. Then he tore his ACL early in his senior season and has spent the last year rehabbing the knee. He waited until near the very end of the recruiting process to pick O$U, and he hasn't been on O$U's travel team this year. Now it looks like he would like to come back home because of some personal/family issues.
Meanwhile, we pulled in Njoku/Harley/Thomas at WR in that class. Now we have two consensus studs committed in Hightower and Pope, along with an underrated Wiggins at WR.
It sounds to me like Richt would rather dance with the girl(s) he showed up with. And I can't say I disagree. Not just because of loyalty or respect for the value of a UM offer (though those are both great reasons). But also because, to continue the metaphor, Grimes showed up to the dance late and with some serious baggage.
Maybe Grimes fully recovers and becomes a great D1 WR, but I have no problem with this pass.
He picked osu in the summer

That's the big question , with his knee .
Bring Grimes in and put a redshirt on him. Let the knee heal up 100% and bring him out of the kennel in 2019. That's how you stack chips. #ChessNotCheckers

He’s played this year and had a few catches already . If he sits out he will bully healthy come spring time

Have you actually seen him play or are you just slurping his star ranking?
This!!!Already tired of this Grimes talk. Let's talk about actual Hurricanes and mother fn g-tech

Actually the concept you are preaching is very simple, you're actually playing checkers, not chess.
I’d start Malek and Delaney or Bandy at CB and JJ and Mike Jack @ Safety. Knowles looked lost on every play vs FSU
What's with the love affair of Grimes on this board?
The kid's knee is ****ed up & we got 3 studs coming in for 2018.
We don't even use all our WR's right now, so you think we're just going take Grimes on a bum knee & he's going to start over everybody else?
It's the only thing the matters...so we are down at least 4 starters for this game and you guys are focussed on travon grimes?? t
