Travonte Valentine was NEVER coming to UM after all.

While I agree he was never going to Miami I said as much when he committed and mentioned Genron what does the ACT score have to do with it? According to Gray's coaches he needs an 18 to get into Miami and he was in a worse situation than Valentine

TV is a head case. He maybe good at LSU or he's going to flame out quick... 50/50 on that guy.

Indeed you did.
 
Before he leaves he'll be dominant just like he would have been had he come to UM. Lots of head cases in college and professional athletics.

This sounds consistent with something I heard from somebody who might have had good information: that Valentine was really shaky academically and might have been scared off by UM's requirements for him. None of us will really ever know. There could be multiple reasons and multiple excuses.

And the last twenty years are littered with the names of can't miss superstars coming out of HS who did flame out, often because they couldn't make it academically. I can't remember all the names, but there were plenty. Others flamed out for a variety of reasons.

Ryan Perilloux is one name that comes to mind. Not saying TV is the same kind of character case, but there's never a guarantee. When I saw TV's video, he looked awesome, but he looked like he was playing cub scouts.

I've come to respect your bleakness, sir. You seem to have a handle on things, and I think UM was wise to this kid's academic shortcomings. The defensive scheme, the AG to PSU business, could have been factors, or just excuses and red herrings.

Things just seem to be getting so bad with sports, recruiting, academics, etc. It's just sad, and a real mess.

Thank you, BV for your insight.
