Calvin Ridley talks about his recruitment (was going to go to Miami)

AUcane said:
I recall his (and SBB) recruitment vividly. They were at some sort of 7v7 tourney or something, getting ready to announce their college intentions. CIS sent someone there to cover, everyone was hyped because the word was they were both going to pick Miami. Then, Genron and his like, got their hands on the kids and told them to "hold off" and make a more "informed decision". That bag game was as blatant as it gets.

This is what happened. Everyone was online because that was going to be the day, then they mysteriously cancelled.

Bagged.

Stop it with the “we have to win” nonsense. We are winning and on an extreme upswing. And guess what? Guys are still be targeted by the bag schools and being bought. That’s just the nature of the game now.

Their strategy is to target the top guys down here every year, and they make them offers that most aren’t willing to refuse. Sabag started it, and people are now copying his model.

It went on before Satan. I guess it's just bigger and more consistent now.

We have a winning program, and the bags are still flying. And the bags are still working.

No real way to stop it unless the federal government can step in and find a way to bring it under criminal jurisdiction, maybe some form of racketeering, perhaps with a nexus to violations of tax laws. Sam Jankovich, our former AD, suggested IRS scrutiny over thirty years ago when we lost a coveted kid, whom I believe was Eric Metcalf. There's a ****load of unreported income involved.

Every bag man would laugh their head off if they heard another school was telling them this.

ANY program can say we'll treat you with respect and consideration. That ain't convincing ANYONE elite to come especially when other schools are saying the same thing then giving the recruit money to show they're serious.

Last thing a elite recruits want to hear is a bunch of a excuses as to why they can't be great. Your suppose to be selling them on what you legitimate can be. ****, Indiana could say their QB or RB got hurt that's why they didn't make a bowl game. Does that make you want to play for Indiana?

What would you suggest we tell recruits? Hand them a bunch of BS that we can't live up too?

In a perfect world that would work but unfortunately this generation is a bunch of front running b##ches. Look at the Nba with guys like Durant wanting to join the best team instead of working to beat the best team

I tend to agree but what are the alternatives? Taking the high road is about our only option. We're not going to play the bag game and I'm OK with that.

He must be mistaken by the bag day experience

Um no...Being on a extreme upswing would be stomping out the scrubs we struggled with last year winning the Acc and playing for the national championship. We are definitely heading in the right direction but I wouldn't call it a extreme upswing. We need a season like 2000 were we maybe have one hiccup and pretty much dominate every team we face the rest of the way.

Because that’s not what happened. He couldn’t qualify for Miami, Bama offered a deal to get him in and let’s say some cash was involved. I scoff at the fact he said his mom wanted him to stay home.. His mom(his adopted mother) was involved in the dealings. Him and SBB were going to commit to Miami and had media and everything come out to Florida Fire practice and they called whole thing off, just for them to commit to Bama not soon after. On top of all that, shady dealings how Bama took SBB just to please Ridley, as they knew SBB was not Bama caliber talent. So much more to it, it was shady but that’s world we live in.

That's a stark reminder how package deals are a load of crap.

Sure, a school will take on your friend to get your NLI. Once the year's over, they're not going to renew your boy's scholly and push him to transfer.

SBB could've likely been a starter in Miami. Now, he's playing for UCF in Orlando.

Make your own decision.

Keeping it real bro. Selling out to go to Bama and good chance Ridley won't even go back to show them love because it was business and now he's explaining why? Bruh none of us care

Looks like Mom wanted him at Miami but the bags were to strong. This is happening a lot right now to players that we are recruiting in 2019. Winning solves a lot these problems. One can only imagine how Calvins career would have been if he came here.

Yo **** this traitor
 
This lying POS shouldn't allowed back in South FL.

PS: Who is starting a gofundme to have Genron stuffed in a trunk, driven to Alabama, and told not to come back.
