2023 Cormani McClain CB Commits to Colorado

[TheOriginalCane]

How was our staff not aware of his grades prior to yesterday?

They were.

People need to stop buying into the false narratives being created here.

the difference would be florida state law

Maybe this NIL stuff (and the rules) is too new, but anyone know if a high-schooler can be signed for promotional purposes? and if its a high-schooler who has signed an intent to go to college XYZ, wouldn't that be allowed as well?

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Ok man, you don't seem to be taking the graduation thing seriously. Smokescreen after smokescreen, is how it appears outside looking in. Thought maybe Miami contingent was taking the bullet for the kid in an effort to sort things out. If it's not academics one would think leverage was being applied. Bag-chading comes to mind, but not necessarily. Just not adding up.

Am I concerned with whether he enrolls in January or June? I'm not so worried about that.

I just wish people would enter 2022 (or 2023) and not treat this situation like it's 1990 and the kid is a Prop 48 recruit...

Sorry if ive missed.

Whats going on with cormani now?

Oh **** nah. You have to read through the last 50 pages and suffer like the rest of us. Don't no one say ****.

 

[TipDrill]

The idea of having him in orange and green was fun

 

[CaneStuck@USF]

He'd be planning his valedictorian speech right now if he had committed to UF

Great question I don’t know. The rumor was that Rashada could be because California didn’t have the same strict rules that Florida did but I’m unaware just speculating

 

[CreativeCane]

I can tell you one thing I'm not going to do is speculate publicly about a kid's grades or test scores.

if we are only offering money at enrollment / graduation (which ruiz consistently explains is what he does) and another program is offering now (old school bag drop)

I would say that's rationale

but then again, these are big words i'm using so I'm not sure how else to explain other possibilities

That is not what you posted.

Here is what you posted.

Most people in the 407 are borderline moronic. You’re on the very left of the 407 bell curve.

 

[jkdood]

ahah!!!

and we can't have online gambling now either. Well, at least its warm.
(ps... notice Colorado YES Alabama NO)

 

[PIPO]

**** like this is why I keep kids who I have my hands on directly away from here at times

Do you at least bring them around for the booty Gifs?

Yeah man..clearing my conscience by deleting some presumptive thoughts. Even if right.

 

[Donny Donowitz]

NIL holdup. He has multiple offers on the table, and they are doing their due diligence as they should before he signs anything or to anyone.

Ya'll relax.

 

[Tony4Canes]

So. Deion wants him to take OV or has he taken his 5??

 

[Cribby]

Everyone thinks bags or another school but there’s legit issues to be worked through. It’s more complicated than I even thought lol. Which explains a lot.

@Dwinstitles @LustNCanes @PRcane787

No PIPO invite?

Lots of misstated facts in your post.

First, John Ruiz says that he follows all state laws. But 12 states allow high-school-aged athletes to do NIL deals. Think about 16 year old tennis or soccer prodigies. But it can also apply to football.

Second, "old school bag drop" is illicit money. Paying NIL money to a player in high school UNDER RELEVANT STATE LAW is not "old school bag drop".

Third, there are people who know more about the facts and the legal technicalities who are working on solutions, so let's not invent our own alternate universe where everyone at Miami just found saw Cormani's transcripts for the very first time, and Cormani has to go to JuCo like it's 1998, and Miami has lost him forever, and Deion Sanders has figured out a loophole to enroll Cormani at Colorado in January.

Being from the 407 (Ocoee specifically) I can’t disagree that the people around these parts aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.

Yes
