If we don’t get Bain
It’s plain and simple whoever he signs with just stuffed Mario and joe in a locker
And then peed on it
This like losing Evan Neal
These are the local legacy recruits we have to keep if we ever want to truly be “back”
This no different than golden richt manny all losing these type of players
Let’s see if Mario is really the boss recruiter we claim he is

Yeah. Miami is the only d1 program that doesn’t pack the stadium when they suck or when they get play shty teams.
No man! remember we have to “develop” 3 stars into first rounders in order for them to come.
Saban and Kirby don’t have to deal with that. They just get guys like Neal, Fitzpatrick and Jeudy and magic happens!
indeed, that used to be the case.
but when NIL started, i think it became a case of "all bets are off," and now the conventional wisdom is the kids are fair game: "you take the money?, you pay the piper."
we can debate whether it's right or wrong, but these kids are learning how life is a zero sum game most of the time. welcome to the real world kids, hope that bag isn't too heavy of a lift.
My ears are still ringing.
So now being in a big city with things to do, is a bad thing? I thought it was so much better than living on a po-dunk town with nothing but the college?

Definitely feels like he'll go elsewhere which would obviously suck. I'd tell his cousin or brother or whoever to start packing his **** if he does.
Why not A&M. They have something like 80 blue chip defensive linemen at this point. Why not one more?
Totally. But also you can’t hold the decision of a kid against someone else. Although we certainly held the Campbell recruitment against rumph
I just feel like Bain is one of those recruits that we would have to completely **** the bed for him to not come. Like he is going to give us every opportunity to win him over. You throw the MTSU loss out the window. Thank god we didnt lose any committed recruits over that loss. Because that could have been ugly.
Now we start the in conference schedule and start to show recruits that we will be competitive in the ACC while they are here and LEGIT competing for ACC titles. Thats a good step in the right direction I think.

Nobody is saying that. I still prefer the big city 99/100 times myself. The point being made here is that not everyone feels that way, and even then it does have to be so binary. You could have a kid that may prefer the city but be open to a smaller college town and certain other factors are the ones that push him towards one or the other. This site has always gone with this narrative of how could a city kid ever want to go a bumblefvck hick town? I well some kids like change and what not.
It’s exactly what is being said here. The second part of your post about individual kids preferring smaller towns or not caring either way, was laughed at a few months ago. This narrative changes depending on how well recruiting is going.
It was laughed at by unstable unadjusted posters that over hype our players and program every step of the way and are the first ones to rip it to shreds when they don’t meet their lofty expectations.
It was laughed at by everybody.

Not by me, Ive saying this **** for years now. Ive also been saying that we shouldn't be surprised when local kids leave us for some of these SEC schools. Look at the shape of our program and the shape and success of theirs. The stay home thing speaks to me directly because not all kids want to stay home. I could have gone to MSU or Michigan but I wanted to get out and I wanted to go to a city. I was looking at Miami, BU, and Tulane. I was all about the city but knew others that wanted the college town experience. Different strokes for different folks is real, most that cant understand are either too locked into their fandom or just have a limited world/life experience.
I feel like his family connections are the only reason we are being considered at this point.
Agree. If his name were Rueben Jackson..I think the headline would be "4* DE/DT terror Rueben Jackson gives his pledge to Alabama. Saban steals yet another South Florida elite talent from UM. Yeah I just want to be apart of a winning program, compete for national titles every year and Bama is that. And I think they will develop me into a first round pick too. I will always love UM and they will have a place in my heart because they are home, but I need to do whats best for me.".. Smh. Thank god for that Bain last name.

That name still might not be enough.
The only thing that might be stopping him from committing here is that he wasn’t heavily recruited until recently.
Maybe Mario and his family told him to take the visits and enjoy the experience.
But if he takes all his visits and doesn’t commit soon after then it’s a problem.

Not every kid is getting paid and it’s not your obey being spent on them. To each their own but it’s just sports. I’ve never booed at any game I’ve been at pro or college.
The crowd for the Temple game that year was worse than this. I literally had rows upon rows next to me with nobody there.
How about if he was James Jackson’s brother?
