Gabriel ******* blows
He was never coming. His cousin is Geno Smith ... only thing he cared about was NFL.So fascinating to look back at this through the lens of hindsight.
I do believe it was alot and probably intially more than OSU, but I think our strategy could have been better. Signing day we still didn’t have a QB (even though Cam had visited).
At the same time, Cam was either leveraging us for more money or had a change of heart before coming to us.If we were so CERTAIN that Smith was HIM and that CAM was HIM, we shouldn’t have given them an option to consider others. Instead of Cam thinking through 2mil, would he have gave an instant YES if we came back with 3 mil right then and there? I don’t know the specifics, but you get the point.
If we have Cam in house before signing day and Mario and Cam go personally and offer Smith an additional 2 mil on top of what we were offering, does Smith take the bait? I think if we had more certainty at QB, Smith might not have caved in at that last hour. He might have been excited to play with an all time talent like Cam if he got to know him ahead of signing day.
That all said, this was on us 20 years ago letting SFE get their hooks in down here. Glad to see there are other options now, You wouldn’t see a version of SFE exist in Athens, Tuscaloosa or any of the B1G towns. But you got it in SFL.
this. Geno recruited against us. Also, the kid cares about stat padding for NFL, not winning comes second.He was never coming. His cousin is Geno Smith ... only thing he cared about was NFL.
I mean, we were told Mario was an "alpha" so... yea, the Navy seal route was probably a fair move.Yes, plus it's cheaper to hire the Navy seal than pay whatever his NIL contracts will cost his 3 years in college.
great poster dude but what are you pining about? Smith was never coming to Miami. Mario and the entire staff recruited their *** off for him. OSU has been a recruiting, development and spending juggernaut for 2 decades plus, especially for WR. Why would he choose Miami?4 is 6'3 230 running like that is rare you wont see it again for another 10 years and he will live in some ******* place like Montana. We had him in our **** backyard with an elite recruiter and still couldn't get him.
only UGA can beat them if their QB is good, if not I can agree OSU is playing to their talent. U have to shift the coverages to JS and let the others beat you but they can, cause he can get others open with the attention he demands. Howard is the question, can he do it. He's not an NFL QB but he can probably get it done in college with what he has around him.Nobody is beating OSU with the way they're playing now.
Michigan game was what can happen in a rivalry game. We've experienced that against FSU, inexplicable losses.
Next year they have the number one offensive weapon in the land and the number one defensive player in the land. I remember when we had it that good.
He's also in his 6th year of college with probably 65+ starts. Experience matters.Game-manager surrounded by a talented and well-coached football team.
how do i get a facepalm for this take? Its true4 is 6'3 230 running like that is rare you wont see it again for another 10 years and he will live in some ******* place like Montana. We had him in our **** backyard with an elite recruiter and still couldn't get him.
On the bench. Talk about one of the biggest busts evaluation wise. Geez!!!Speaking of weird dudes, is Jurrion D1ckey playing these days?
OSU is the overwhelming favorite unless Howard has another Michigan game.only UGA can beat them if their QB is good, if not I can agree OSU is playing to their talent.

But he would have come here with Cam?he's lebron James not Michael Jordan. hes not the guy who will be the trendsetter and go to the up and coming program, hes wants to be on a well oiled machine.
