I'm not gonna say yes or no but I will say recruiting is far from over....Until athletes sign on the dotted line anything can happen.... We play good ball this coming season we'll see flips happen that we'll be happy about...
So odd. I went through their 247 board. There are multiple threads about this kid and his commitment but each has only a few comments. I saw one mention of the father wearing the Miami shirt /pin. The entire commitment didnt seem to make much of a wave there.
He said there was more after the flip....
Then it should be family over $everything$. I don’t like it- miss me with that UM t shirt love crap.
They probably made a business decision and took the bag, but I have a hard time believing they were trolling Mario and staff. The Samoans that I grew up with treated me like family, so I’ve got nothing but respect for their family values and culture. I’m leaning toward respect, and if he reconsiders later, we’ll probably have a good chance at a flip.
He never committed publicly but some thought he was a silent. His whole family talked up Miami and the staff but it was just too far away. His brother even posted a thank you to the Miami staff after his brother picked Oregon. Seems like this was similar except it wasn't the distance but the bag A&M offered.
The older generation of Samoans are all about faith and family. If Mario is family, they pay their respects to their elder. I don’t know what their process was for the commitment decision but Samoans are loyal people. I take it as a sign of respect to Mario and Mirabal who the family has probably known for a few years now. Trolling would be so disrespectful. If the parents are a bit traditional, I can’t see that happening.
You’re weird out of touch and whatever.
It's not respectful.... They were trolling and our fan base doesn't want to believe it.
