Caleb Odom 4* TE from GA Hits the Portal After One Year At Bama

They care about you so long as you're performing. The moment you don't perform, get hurt or if a recruit in the next cyle is better than you, you're processed out.

That’s the goal here too by the way.

Recruit your replacement in the next class.

I’m not going to lie, but the eye of Mordor (UGA/Bama) is upon Miami and the evaluation process.

Very confident in the process for the most part (long run recruiting), but a lot of big players have turned up the heat on some of our under the radar kids.

Either the programs (Miami, Bama, Clemson, PSU, etc) are wrong; or the recruiting services are way off early in the 2024 class. It’ll be interesting to track this thru the cycle.

I’ll go with the services are playing catch up per usual.

Smith is a serious restaurant food off the chart’s elite.
Probably the best rum and coke I ever experienced.

I recommend Smith to any it is coin well spent, some of my customers photos are above the bar wall of fame it takes many years of $$$$$$ to get enshrined.

I agree that the ultimate goal may be the same, but how you get there is different.

If a kid gets processed out here because they aren't up to UM standards or it doesn't work out, UM works hard behind the scenes to ensure they have a landing spot at another school that's a better fit. Worst case, they can still graduate and get a degree if football doesn't work out.

I think that is some serious fandom to believe that only Miami does this though.

Sounds like they spend a little more intimate one on one time with Mario than a 100 yard car ride. No Dave and Busters may be a miss though…

Clearly you’ve never had the sweet libations at the Longhorns/Macaroni Grill/TGI Fridays ALL IN ONE affectionately known as Spurrier’s

This is a major homer take. There is obviously a brotherhood here that is hard to replicate at most other programs.

But come on now…..

I never said only Miami does this. There are other schools that place the kids they process out. Just don't think Bama does it. There's a difference between the two takes.

Mario has been here for 18 months now. It’s definitely given him and the support staff time to see some of these guys a lot more.

I don’t know how it ultimately works out but yeah I’m really curious about some of these guys and how it ends up. Stating the obvious there but this just has a different feel than the past

They’re not scrambling for these guys. They’re identifying them early which kinda ties in with how relentless he is

[TrumpyCane]

Thats what college football is lol

TrumpyCane thinks these kids should know that’s how life is

You don’t perform, company will look for someone better

 

[The U is back to work]

So Mario has to try and steal Odom from Bama like he did Skinner.
