Ok, two can play this game. There’s a thing called context. Not just picking one tweet out of a stack that I took down the very same day because I found with my own two eyes covering from the field that it was not true. Mario Cristobal said on his weekly WQAM spot with Joe Rose that there was a great chance they would play.

You're citing Mario's vague public statements on injuries??? C'mon, fam...

This is so dumb man.

On par for the fanbase. Have to blame someone or something.

So defensive. Everyone involved.

We all know how this goes. Someone has to take the blame according to Cane fans, although it was never some big secret, the kid said he would possibly visit, he’s openly visited Miami twice this season, and his name was on the list they circulate for this weekend.

I’ve already clearly stated how these things go as well. Some kids show up that were never even on the list, names get added through reaching out to some prospects, and some don’t show up that were on the list. A great example is Tim Merritt now being expected in for tomorrows game, he didn’t come to the Duke game as planned, and he wasn’t on the original list for Wake Forest.

It wasn’t a secret visit though. People are funny.

Everyone has an excuse when someone doesn’t commit.

“So and so leaked it, burn them at the stake”.
“Kid got a bag”
“We recruit players the RIGHT way”
“He’s scared of competition”
“X and Y took his spot”
“Character issues”
“Mario is looking for a certain type of kid”

You either land them, or you don’t. Everything else is copium and behavior suited for a teenager.
 
The whole thing is so stupid. Hanks has been a Gator from day 1. Maybe we get him, more than likely we don't.

If you think his commitment to a school hinges on whether he visits us this weekend, you aren't just mistaken, you need chemical intervention.

If you are so desperate to blame a Miami recruiting reporter for "leaking" about this "double secret probation" visit nothingburger, and try to blame Hanks' going to Florida on said reporter, you are a loser of the highest order.

Get a job.

Gators lucked out that they actually have a few legacies worth a **** unlike us

Brian Blades II isn’t Ben Hanks but he could play here. Instead he’s at FIU. The Karlaftis kid was a 1st rounder and went to Purdue.

Ray Lewis’ kid sucked, Al Blades Jr was mid, Davonte Brown was horrible. Didn’t even recruit McGahee’s. Didn’t recruit Frank Gore Jr but he could have played here. Didn’t recruit Gabe Taylor and he could have played here (not Sean’s son but his brother, so basically a legacy). Think I’m missing another one playing at a small school right now too that we didn’t recruit.

It’ll turn for us in the coming years… Banking on Damari being good and better land Wise’s kid in 2026. **** I’d take Brian Blades II if he wants to transfer. Portis in 2026. Then Glue hands Jr and DVD Jr coming up next.
