Trevill Holcy Decommits from Miami

Sad situation, hope this kid uses this as motivation, I once was in a similar situation and from experience it made me a better player. This very same thing also happened with Mirmar's current RB where he committed to WVU with his teammates Lewis and McFadden and he stated he witnessed the dark side of recruiting when they said his offer was not committable

Did he find out after he committed? What is a non-committable offer anyway? Like a false pregnancy? I think some more ruthless schools would actually let a kid think they have an offer, string 'em along, and then tell them down the road they don't. Similar to what happened to those kids who committed to Cincy and had their offers pulled when coaches changed--I think it was Tuberville who told them their offers weren't good anymore. You could probably make the offer stick legally, but who wants to enter a program where the coach will hate you for just being there.

We need to improve TE position. If that is where the staff was willing to take a flyer on this kid, then that is fine. If kid only want to be WR then best of luck to him. He handled this in adult manner and sounds like staff was honest with him, I am not sure what there is to be upset over. Best of luck young man.

Sums things up nicely.
 
I have no idea what actually happened, I assume no one on hear spoke to the staff either.

Like everything in recruiting, only the recruits can comment. You will only get one side of the story too. So here is the quote...I am no longer committed to the University of Miami, they didn't have space for me at the WR position. I appreciate all the support. Thank U

For those that didn't want the kid at all STFU, he is not part of the class.

For those that did want the kid, he is not part of the class.

Move on!

The mirror has two faces on this though. Remember what ole' Robert Nkimdeche did to Clemson? Got all his boys on and then dipped. Lol. Let Dabo holding the bag. And Alex Collins at FSU getting his boy John Franklin on board. Its just the recruiting game.

These kids have to be smarter. Social media has ruined recruiting. Getting certain offers is a notch on the belt for these kids even if they know its not commitable. How many kids from down here 'claimed' ALA offers? Lammons and Khari Clark both bragged that they did and im willing to bet neither were commitable.

But like someone said, the HS coaches need to be more on top of this. They are the ones that the kids more or less trust. They should be shielding them from putting themselves out there by being honest and open about what offers are real and which are not.
 
I think we are or were interested in him, but our level of interest was not at a point where we'd accept his commitment. Coaches did him a favor by not stringing him on and making him think he'd be a Cane when in fact that's not the case. Good luck to him. Keep it moving.

If a kid decommits cause he says there is no space that's BS. Means you think you can't compete for a spot. Thats weak. I don't want a kid like that on the team, competition is needed.

The staff will place anyone that is good, especially at receiver.

Good luck to him and I hope he finds somewhere to play.

^^^^^^^^ bada bing bada boom.

Worse part about it...is they do it EARLY in the recruiting game. Dennis Turner last yr, Edoard...like they dont know how to just recruit or slow play a kid.
 
Bottom line no one knows what happened here. We can speculate and guess all we want.

Blame the kid, the kids coach, blame the staff which is always the popular choice around here

Until Pete or Tito find out what happened for sure its a moot point right now

Move on

people who think our staff is just inept at recruiting and communicating are retarded. do things happen that may be the staffs fault? certainly. but, I doubt it is b/c of organization and people not on the same page.
not one person here has a clue as to what happened. and like someone else said, we will hear from recruits but the staff can't and would never comment anyway.

What/? This happens everywhere, the only reason why this is a big deal is because it happened here but every school has a situation like this happen. Some kids legit have non committable offers and a staff may not say that straight up but every offer is a verbal and none are truly LEGIT until the university letters come. some kids have legit offers but get left out of a class and you know this happens for sure everywhere because of leverage to get another prospect, filling the spot just in case another stud wants to come or just to keep tabs on a kid to see if he performs during the year and if not you look for someone better. Its recruiting evenutually you have to pay attention hard to it because it happens every year

Dennis Turner didn't want to play CB he wanted to play WR thats why he decommitted and Edoard wasn't Coley's guy it was Fisch's.

Exactly and both got out early and to schools that were better fits so idk how this is bad. When top schools do this late in the game for guys they like better its accepted as "playing the game" and the kids get ****ed over and nobody cares. This is in March........... now basically 10 months before NSD so it sucks but at worst he'll go to a school that fits him better so it's not a big deal
 
Nothing at all against the kid...he handled it like a man and I wish him the best

I do, however, find it pretty funny that all the Don Bailey Jr wannabe cheerleaders came out da woodwerks the other day arguing with those of us who said this kid was a questionable take from a talent perspective.

The influx of garbage posters on this board is disturbing.

So the "Don Bailey Jrs." are the problem? Not those who condemned the staff for the take when he actually wasn't a take? Ranting about another Golden special when he wasn't.

Makes sense.
