Is the Golden flirtation with Penn State literally the only reason TV ain't coming? That's hard to believe.
Him decommitting had nothing to do with PSU/Golden imo. Was going happen either way.

it had to do with Golden.

more specifically our weird philosophy on defense.

you don't tell the Hulk to observe and react.

you tell him to Smash.

Same reason he left Florida and Louisville right?

first of all, him leaving other teams has NOTHING to do with him leaving his current commitment, Miami.

second, since all the experts including the Miami friendly Peter Ariz is predicting Valentine is gone, I believe we have no more reason to discuss his recruitment.

finally, he may or may not have been paid by LSU. but he definitely wouldn't have empty pockets had he went to Miami.
 
If we get Gaillard I won't feel that bad about losing Valentine.

If we don't get either...massive failure.

cant say massive failure but i would be very disappointed

Moten is very solid, but not a game changer. Same with the JUCO guys AND we only have them for 2 years.

With no DT depth and after last year's debacle this class needs an elite DT.

This Valentine situation makes me sick to my stomach. Replacing him with Gaillard would be like putting an icy-hot patch on a torn acl.

Not sure what I will do if Chad flips to those pussies in Tallahassee. We can't let those retards come down here and steal another one from our backyard (specifically him)

Ross and Lenius are the type of under the radar/under evaluated athletes that Butch would bring in and they'd end up being studs in college.

I think JC Jackson signs with us, which is great.

I really don't see us stealing a 5* guy from Saban in his own state. Something crazy would have to happen for us to land Bo.

Kaaya and Demetrius (assuming Chad sticks with us) aren't going anywhere.

Kind of going overboard there a bit arent you? Gaillard is a 4 star top DT STUD with offers from Bama, Auburn, UGA, UF, FSU, ND, and pretty much every top program. So is Moten. If we closed with those two, plus Jenkins and the JUCOs, that would be an EPIC DL class. Id obviously prefer TV, but that $hip has sailed IMO. I would be pretty content with Gaillard as a replacement.



I'm very much aware of the type of prospect that Gaillard is, but I don't think he's at the same level of Valentine (and I don't think he comes here).

On top of that, Valentine was committed to us for a good amount of time and he goes to school less than an hour away from campus. For us to lose him to a school located over 900 miles away is inexcusable. We have already seen this happen to us once before with L$U (PP) and it just goes to show how much trouble we're actually having getting local kids to stay home and go to UM.

I'm just tired of these local kids thinking that by coming to UM they would just be "settling". We need to change the way we are perceived in the South Florida community.

That makes more sense. So if he don't commit, it's obvious Golden has no plans on changing up the D.
