This is Mario's Thibbs but for UM. I think we may surprise and pull this kid.

Maybe… it’s ridiculous how many 5 stars we are in it for, Mario breaks the record of most 5 stars in one year here. Jalon Brown is a heavy lean and so is Jayden Wayne. Than there is Malik Bryant.

Then there are kids like Richard Young, the IMG OL, Hicks, the LB from Texas, the QBs, Cormani, and Innis we all have a fighting shot at. It’s insane how fast **** turned around.
 
whats the deal with M’Pemba from IMG. 247 has him 100% to us but I haven’t heard **** so it seems like our dated info kinda like they have Leblanc 100% to the buckeyes

Kid is originally from STL but sounds like he will go through the process. I see no reason to believe he is leaning to us but I def think we have a shot. With him being a midwest kid originally, he seems very interested in Notre Dame and Michigan.

I don't think we have a shot at Innis. Would need something crazy for him to pick up a Canes hat on NSD.

Why do you say that? According to reputable people here, his family are all Canes and want him closer to home and not LA. Made and makes sense why he liked OU and Riley's offense. Now that guy is in LA and they are still the lead horse there but a ton has changed for us. For one the Mickey Mouse club got fired, and was replaced with a real staff. Second, TVD stepped up and made our offense attractive to WRs again. I think it will be a tough pull but hardly no shot.

It turns around when u hire a savage recruiter and put money behind him. Part of me thinks the whole school didn't believe 100% into the previous hires and didn't unload the money trucks. They believed in Mario and made the changes. So everyone is on board and everyone is happy now. From the top down they are all focused on the direction of the program going upward.

You get wind of anything re: Baxter or Young?

Young yes! He is a major priority in the class and we are making him feel that way. Baxter has a few off field issues from what I'm hearing but if we can clear that up I think we are in decent shape there.

He was the diet coke version of the team: the taste without the caffeine (hard work or substance). Swagger as a fantasy through chains, crashing opposing team camps ..... he was the rich kid who fantasized about a world he never knew he could be part of because he himself lacked the substance, hard work, and general fortitude to understand the process or generalities of that world.

Instead, we got slip and slides and skee ball, ticket chains. He was the Reagan era south Florida rich kid who fantasized about belonging to the inner city. But, only knew of it through video games and newspaper articles about breaking penalty records/while winning and 'angering the establishment'.

Basically, we had a 80/90s yuppie running our program.

Except for the fact that he is a die hard Democrat born and raised to despise Reagan. Everything else is on point. Not getting political. Just pointing out the irony.
