That’s fine and dandy, except we have our OWN posters telling us on THIS SITE that we can’t use that logic to think players might want to come to Miami because of our own history of success.
Some of you guys are trying way too hard to convince others of your opinions.
@OrangeBowlMagic youre a good poster but dude I see a ******* soliloquy from you every 3 posts in this thread.
I’m reserving my judgement for how the situation turns out, but I 100% will question the judgement of someone picking FSU in 2022 if that is what happens.
You CAN use that logic, for sure. But as OBM said, we have no connections to Mims. He didn't so much as mention Miami publically, let alone come anywhere close to trolling. All we know is some message board journalists said there was potentially some interest.
What we DO know is that Mims had a strong, prior relationship with Atkins.
We don't know what is important to Mimis. From listening to the Noles 247 podcast today, apparently FSU set him up with some boring OLman as his host bc Mims is a homebody that likes to chill and play video games. The kid showed up at FSU in a wife beater. Maybe he won't be comfortable at Prime 112 and maybe he doesn't want to go to LIV after? Reminds me of this classic scene (IYKYK):
I will also point out that (i) Miami is a 7 win team that hasn't proven anything on the field, (ii) he will be blocking the SAME GUYS IN THE ACC at FSU as he would at Miami (strange argument that he can't shine at FSU, IMO), and (iii) the NFL will find him anyways.
Of the top 10 NFL tackles as graded by PFF (2021), here are their alma matters:
2:
Oklahoma
1:
Ole Miss, Colorado, Arkansas Pine-Bluff, Utah, Western Michigan, Iowa, ND, Wisconsin
If this kid was from New Jersey and picked Rutgers over Miami, it would be chalked up as staying home. FSU is closer to home, and he has a strong relationship with the OC/OL coach. You all are getting butthurt simply bc it is FSU. That is the only explination.
