2020 Miami commit Leonard Manuel talks with CIS

Upvote just because your location says "Leesburg, FL"...my hometown.

Like I stated in the previous Manuel thread, I figured the transfer was for basketball. They will be loaded with a few other guys coming in

Good read. LOL @ transferring just for basketball and returning to his old school for football. WTH?!

Don't hate the player hate the game. Bizarre that this is even allowed. I know in Pennsylvania when I was in high school (5 years ago) if you jumped from high school to high school for sports & your old school could prove it you would be ineligible (except Catholic schools if I remember correctly). I think they are working towards a voucher system though.

When I was in high school there was a kid that would do this for football and baseball. His Dad lived in KY so he went there to play football and came back to FL for baseball. There was a little different reasoning behind switching for football because he was a decent passer and was close to breaking Tim Couch's record for yards I believe and it was evident he wouldn't do it against the comp in FL and the team around him. He ended up choosing baseball though and spent some time in the Pirates system. Solid athlete.

Yeah but you're talking about different states. This example is with schools within an hour of each other. That's crazy that it's allowed.

I realize they are different states, was just adding perspective from my experiences. This was an issue with schools a lot closer then an hour to each other, sometimes even rival schools, which is why kids were being deemed ineligible for a full year from their transfer date. PIAA wasn't ****ing with kids transferring for athletic reasons to stack certain schools, which seems to be prevalent in Florida.

Yeah that's kinda what I was getting at. I guess we are saying the exact same thing but I'm just coming from the perspective that our experience (both you and I) is the norm whereas the state of Florida seems to be out of control. I've never in my life heard of what's going on in the state of Florida. That's crazy.

Jesus christ they are really planting their flag with this 2020 class. To be so committed when there is a full 2 years to go and to be such a highly regarded recruit is a testament to the staff.

yeah and there's a noticeable difference b/w this approach and Alf's. With Alf, we'd get nice commits a couple years out and then let them fizzle. These commits appear to be as solid as they get and the kids genuinely excited to recruit for us rather than use us as a stepping stone for other offers.

I think it’s a pretty clear observation to make when I say that the longer Mark Richt has to recruit a kid, the better our chances, a change from the last staff as well. The more time that went by, the more a kid (and fans) got to see through the BS.

Leonard Manuel listed as the #2 WR in the country and Avantae Williams listed as the #1 ATH in the country according to 247. This 2020 class is going to be another special one

Has there ever been a guy who was basically a 5 star talent in football and basketball? I can't think of one.
