He was recruited by every team in the country. He (and his family) connected with DVD. He told Cristobal his commitment was contingent on DVD being his CB coach. Cristobal promised McClain that DVD would be his CB coach. DVD was not made the CB coach.

So you think he should have just signed anyways?

I think that may be what they want you to think. I don’t think Mario will held hostage by an 18 year old no matter how gifted.

But if he promised the kid, he promised. And if the kid signs like he promises maybe then it happens.

But if I were Mario given the kid seems to be flirting around with other suitors, I am waiting for the kid to sign so I am not left with my **** in hand while he goes to Tuscaloosa or Boulder.

This soap opera was fun while it lasted.

Mario has probably moved on if this guy stood up his staff.

Staff wouldn't have gone up there unless they were told he'd be there. That's the ultimate disrespect and immature behavior even for an 18 year old kid. But when Dion is behind it, this shouldn't be surprising.

Its still a great class. Mario is likely focused now on staff evaluation, Singletary, and portal WR's.

It’s a fact and common sense, who said they (or me) are insiders?

Don’t need an insider to understand that.

The only FACT in this thread is that you are a mope.

Nobody knows **** so just let it play out.

Comparing this to anything in the past in the era of NIL is DUMB.
 
is it too soon to say that the staff went to lakeland to drop him from the class?

CaneSport reached out to a source close to the situation, and he said that “the entire Miami defensive coaching staff” showed up at Lakeland High today. The idea, of course, was to meet with McClain and make that final push down the stretch to make sure he sticks in the class.

Just one problem: McClain wasn’t at school today. Rumors are flying that he’s on a plane on the way to a visit, maybe Colorado or Alabama (including one report that he is indeed on a Colorado visit), or that he just didn’t want to spend time with coaches at a school he’s not going to wind up attending.

The source says “no one here has any idea, any clue” what he’s doing.
Nobody seems to know what is going on with McClain.

As for that anticipated announcement he’s been mentioning to people here and there regarding a decision coming on Sunday?
“From what I’ve heard I don’t think anything is happening Sunday,” the source said. “If it does, I’d be shocked.”

So the drama might continue. McClain at one point was supposed to enroll early. Not anymore. There were rumors a documentary is being filmed and he’s drumming up content for it.
“I’ve never seen a camera team following him,” the source in Lakeland said.

Apparently the Miami defensive staff was more than gracious despite McClain’s no-show. They could have been upset, left in a hurry, etc. Instead they stayed and spent time with the Lakeland coaches. At one point one of the high school coaches even asked Miami coordinator Kevin Steele what formations give him the biggest issues. Steele got up and started drawing it all up on a nearby white board.
“The staff there is great, that coaching staff is relentless,” the source said. “Those dudes are great. They roll with the punches, move on. They’ve been recruiting forever.”
The bottom line, final thought on the McClain situation from the source?
“This is what NIL was going to create,” he said.

Colorado visit isn’t confirmed. No one knows where he is, speculation is that he is on his way visiting somewhere but again, no one knows and nothing us confirmed. But yes, staff went to the HS and he wasn’t there.

Who confirmed that he wasn't there? It's been kinda hard to keep up. Gaby? An On3 article? Ferman?

I said nobody has a clue what’s going on in a lot fewer words Lol. At this point Miami is as much in the dark as anyone. Take that as you will.
 
I held that he was coming here, after today, not anymore. Think this one is over. They aint wanna lie to the staff face. So they bounced.

I mean, it’s pretty obvious the same reason (in essence, anyway) Miami is losing Cormani McClain is the same reason we’re likely left with Josh Gattis as OC.

Until Mario learns how to operate with a sense of urgency and not be so stubborn to drag his feet at every turn, this is essentially what his tenure is going to be at UM.
