Could have said the same for a ton of WRs vs Restrepo too….

And , I agree with taking the bigger, faster and more explosive prospect too

It was pretty much the most predictable thing on CiS to know Restrepos name would come up

It’s easy to play Monday morning QB but X was more physically ready than Lopez imo

That can change and I’m not saying he’s not a take, just saying for me Spafford would be ahead

But what I think doesn’t really matter anyway WR is such a crapshoot

The problem with this is the kid is on record saying everyone’s NIL was essentially the same and that it wasn’t the reason he committed to Miami.

Any reporting that is contrary to that after the kid’s comments then you are basically calling him a liar.

I’m glad he said something that way we can properly call out the anti UM bias.

So just saw that Keys is signed with Adidas. Normally that would be key clue.

But supposedly we are about to be free and clear to sign with Nike or JB. (Calling @Rellyrell @TheOriginalCane)

With NIL and everything else, if the athlete signs with a different brand than the school, how is the athlete/school impacted?

Could branding be a factor in this key recruitment?

Adidas athletes sign with other branded schools all the time; it’s the opposite of Nike NIL athletes.

Examples:
-Hailey Van Lith signed w Adidas & played for LSU & TCU
-Vernell Brown III signed w Adidas & committed to UF
-Ross Zheng signed w Adidas & attended Stanford
-Ian Jackson signed w Adidas & committed to UNC, & now St John
-Karter Knox signed w Adidas & committed to Arkansas
-Madden Iamaleava signed w Adidas & committed to Arkansas & now UCLA
-Atkinson signed w Adidas & his final 4 are UGA, Clemson, Bama, O$U, & Auburn
-Kayden Dixon-Wyatt signed w Adidas & committed to O$U
-Chris Henry Jr signed w Adidas & committed to O$U
-Winston Watkins Jr signed w Adidas & committed to Ole Miss

I’ve not heard any news on Keys signing w Adidas, but tbh, I’m not very invested in recruiting or individual players any longer since commitments mean absolutely nothing today; but, even if he did it doesn’t necessarily help us since we’re currently w Adidas, & it won’t necessarily hurt us switching back to Nike/JB.
