Armella wins OL MVP at Rivals Miami, discusses UM recruitment

[JgDaCane]

We're 0 fer on these types of kids since I've started following (bizzaro world recruitment) Glad we have backup plans.

We need that edge/attitude up front. Kid can play G and T and be a **** good one. I truly think we will be in this one to the end especially if we make it to Charlotte. Mama is on our side, that’s a good start.

This is one of those recruits that I’m not even counting on, or even thinking about, and if by some odd happenstance we get him, of course I’ll be glad. But I’m just not seeing it.

If it's your hometown team, but you still want to use an official to go somewhere else? Only because he ain't coming. Move on.

Five-Star Lineman Will Put Family First With College Choice - Football Hotbed

Follow The trenches. Where football games are truly won or lost. Win up front, win on the scoreboard. How to win upfront? Get the best recruits and develop them into trench monsters. Julian Armella is considered one of the best offensive linemen in the country. Strong, quick, and technically...

Based on nothing but this little article, I'm guessing his top 4 are Alabama, LSU, UM, and either FSU or UF.
I'm with the rest of you - cool if he comes, but too much drama to sit through every twist and turn here. I'll look for him on signing day.

Some interesting discussion about Armella and his recruitment on the LSU board. They put up a mock class and he was not included, despite having taken an OV there in June. Some highlights of the thread:

-Armella did very little visiting in June, aside from the OV to LSU. He was expected to visit Bama in June but he never got there.
-He was on vacation with his mother last week (Dominican Republic?) and his father set up a meeting with the new OL coach at LSU which he went to alone.
-According to the LSU writers, they are hearing that his Mom is "driving the recruitment bus". She has said in the past she wants him closer to home.
- The LSU reporters don't really know where his recruitment is right now but the feeling is if Mom is really in charge, he likely ends up at Miami. If not Miami, they think Bama is still a possibility.

His father is not happy with Julian's current recruiting ranking from 247 so he will not give interviews or speak to anyone from that recruiting service. They are operating a bit in the dark. That being said, I think 247 is going to review again around the middle to 3rd week in July - no idea if it will make any difference for Julian....

Sounds like a mess for the kid right now..

Maybe higher recruiting ranking = bigger bag?

Flo was dropping some subtle but positive vibes about Julian.

Isn’t the whole rap with his recruitment that Dad wants him at FSU and Mom wants him at UM? Both don‘t want him at the others‘ school so he probably will head out of state.

LOL, I don't even like their cheese cake. Wouldn't be my first choice to take a recruit.

He’s up to the #4 overall recruit in the country on Rivals.

I think that gag has to be retired.
