is this even a commitment? lmao. still taking OV's, not shutting it down, "right now I'm a cane"
wake me up in November/December
wake me up in November/December
Last year plenty of our commits went on OV's after committing so I'd just relax a bit. These kids get treated like celebs on these trips with 5 star hotel, amazing food, extensive 1 on 1 time with coaches and current players, and coeds lined up to suck your pee pee. I'd go on all my visits too.
Crying over some Instagram committed image? Jesus Christ this fan base is soft as ****.
You cant flip the switch on scheduling.
OOC games are scheduled years in advance.
In 2017, sitting at #2, that ‘21 game with Bama seemed pretty appetizing.
Fools gold at the time I know…but we didn’t know then.
I see your point, but I’m on the side of Always scheduling good teams.
What good is a hollow10-2 record only to be blasted in the expanded CFBPO anyway?
Mediocre teams with deceiving records get exposed eventually.
Had that edit not been scrutinized I wouldn't even have noticed. There were so many "commitment edits" put out for Chance I don't think many even looked closely at any of them........

What’s he like ?
I agree with most of your points but I’d take a hollow 10-2 plus blasted in the playoffs 10/10 over being a 7-5 or 6-6 team that plays tough against the Bamas of the world. Much easier to sell recruits on 10-2 and a trip to the playoffs than it is to sell hey we hung in the game with Bama IMO.
I don’t know jack about comps.
All I Know is that this place was nowhere near as happy to get AR as it is with chance.
Many said that AR’s money position should be db.
I remember listening to a podcast back then (can’t remember which one).
They were interviewing someone connected to palm beach hs football.
He said that AR broke a receiving record that had stood for over 20 years in that county. He averaged like 18 yards in high school.
He said he broke those records while playing both ways some games.
AR was a smooth effortless runner with a pretty long stride that many confused as slow.
After watching recruiting for a while I believe more in evaluations than rankings.
We say that Saban evaluates at an elite level. But even he misses.
But Bama Tennessee and auburn wanted AR bad. Some said that AR was the top receiver on bamas board.
Got to AR’s recruiting profile and look at the last few months of his timeline. Bama came down to see him like 3 times during that period including in homes by both Saban and the OC. Same with auburn.
In contrast with pope who committed to us over Bama way before nsd.
Now idk if we won that recruitment or Bama went with D Smith instead.
Now it’s early and Chance is a marked man and he’s gonna get recruited harder now. We will see how hard the big dogs go after him and how he plays his senior season.
But on tape I still don’t see AR.
And that’s not a knock on him. I think he’s one of the best receivers down here.
But I’m done comparing any incoming freshman to a dude that proved it in P5 and was getting day one predictions as a freshman.
I wouldn’t even compare jSmith to AR rk.
AR balled in the most boring and predictable offense. And his coach was Dugans.
All his edits look the same to me with that same ****** font I don't know why everyone is on his **** for one

Manuel then went on to praise the newer facilities which, to me, is a lot more important for kids now as opposed to when he was being recruited 13-14 years ago.
Fair good stuff bro
Got it.
We’re only talking one or two good OOC games anyway (like ND and uF next year), so the difference wouldn’t be 3 or 4 games.
IMO as we head towards an expanded playoff, kids will be looking more at the playoff teams.
In my last post, I should have said “if” we get to the playoffs with a hollow 10-2 record.
My worry with easing up on the schedule is that it will play against us come committee time.
I guess, to your point, if good teams are scheduled and we’re not that good, we’ll lose them anyway.
But if we are…

He sure did. Now if he can only make Hayes Fawcett not slight the U in his edits by filling a stadium 1/5 full of fans, we’d be in business.

Chance is recruiting others to "WR dream" school. Who does the article list?
(commits to Ohio State in December probably)
D Smith was 17 not 18. We beat Bama for Pope, he was just a miss. The ability was there, he didn’t have the drive to get better.

Plus we didn’t have the coaches and the culture and S&C to get him better. You can say that about just about every guy that came through Miami’s doors last 25 years smh
Miss me with that… plenty of kids have gone to the bamas of the world and still failed to live up to their billing.
That young man just didn’t want to push himself and compete when those around him continued to elevate their games with hard work and drive.
Hmmmm...
Preach. Someone but me finally saying this. These guys just don't get it. Miami has a different set of rules. We lose big this year we are going to have a drop of in 24.
