I agree with your point, which is why I said the original poster is incorrect in saying we need to stop blaming “bags” like other fans.
Based on the info from D$, etc., I don’t not believe we lost him. He did make his own choice.
What I am questioning, is why/how he could make this choice at this time. It has to be “bags”. I clearly have orange and green glasses on, but what highly ranked player with his offer list (Georgia, Alabama, USC, etc.) looks at FSU and says “Yup! That’s the best program to be at right now!” So maybe Miami is ok with letting him walk, but he has more offers than just us and FSU. FSU is desperate for positivity so they opened the check book.
