ARE YOU FCKIN KIDDIN ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?

First, let me start by taking a L; I absolutely thought he was picking UF & had even heard he told them he was committing to UF, under no circumstances did I think it was possible to pull a high ranked kid from Lakeland, let alone a high caliber 5-star at that, I was wrong.

Second; HOLY SHIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!! Did we for real just land a 5-star CB?!?!? Something that hasn’t been done in a decade! The last one was Tracy Howard in the 2012 class & if Cormani sticks with his commitment he will officially be the 6th highest ranked recruit we’ve ever signed in school history.

Thirdly; HOLY SH******TTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

Fourth: This kid is the most ELITE CB prospect we’ve signed (if he sticks) coming out of HS since Artie Burns & Kelly Jennings. He’s a polished pure cover corner with spectacular Ball skills having over 21INT’s in the span of 2 seasons over his Soph/Junior year, his Balhawking ability is what sets him apart from nearly every CB recruit in both the 23 & 24 classes.

He plays with phenomenal hip fluidity & displays excellent coordinated transitional footwork while in phase, he’s one of the few HS CB’s I’ve seen utilize T-Step breaks properly & does a fantastic job baiting the QB. He primarily uses Bail technique even when playing Press Man, but due to his extraordinary arm length & quick feet he can give up to 5 yards of cushion even in Press & still stay in his WR’s hip pocket. Idk if he was taught this or if he just does it naturally, but his ability to mirror & play towards the outside shoulder is textbook deceptive coverage & large part as to why he gets so many INT’s, he creates the illusion that the WR’s is open & while reading the QB’s eyes he breaks on the ball before the WR has even finished with his stem, his route recognition is A+.

He’s a future 1st round draft pick, if this kid doesn’t develop into a day pick something went terribly wrong, because he has every tool possible to be an ELITE All-Conference player & 3 & done prospect. Doesn’t have ideal speed, but he’s in the 4.5 range & due to his long limbs covers a ton of ground as a long stride runner.

He’s the quintessential Field Corner that you leave on an Island & let him cover the opposing team’s best WR all game.

My comp: Ahmad “Sauce” Gardener

This is a game-changer, having a lockdown cover corner gets downplayed so much simply because people really don’t understand how difficult the position is & how much impact a great CB has on the game, but when you can chop one side of the field in half & take away a QB’s best option (especially in today’s passing era) it completely changes the dynamic of the game & forces Offenses to take a different approach with their attack plan. Everyone drools over trench play & I get it, but without competent coverage on the backend it really doesn’t matter how many 5-star pass rushers you have upfront, look no further than the Bama vs Tenn game; DLine full of NFL caliber rushers & run stoppers, but their Secondary has multiple guys who lack the coverage skills & don’t have the speed to Defend against teams with a real receiving threat.

Ultimately, major props go to Mario & DVD, they pulled off the unthinkable, now all they have to do is hold on for 2 more months & get his signature on ENSD & this might be one the top 5 biggest recruiting lands in school history IMO. The contrast we’re going to see in CB play from what we’ve been seeing over the last 4 years is going to be glaring & some of yall will finally get to see what Good CB play actually looks like.

Signing this kid will be a special moment for this program, it really can’t be understated how huge this is, because we’ve had several elite players & 5-stars commit/sign over the years, but 5-star CB is raaaaaare air for Miami.

Seismic recruiting win on the trail; LFG!!!!!

Dude, the dirty Shirly is my jam these days.
Tito’s, lacroix soda water, a splash of grenadine and a splash of OJ with some muddled cherries!

I’ve been smashing ice cold beers forever and as I’ve gotten older, I was starting to have some trouble keeping the weight off.

So I decided not to touch a beer for a whole year and see what happens.

December 24th will mark the 365th day without an ice cold fluffy. So far so good. Dropping beers from my diet has been a game changer! I’m drinking a lot less and feel much better.
