2023 Cormani McClain CB Commits to Colorado

[Dwinstitles]

Well see how good deion recruits when he starts having losing seasons

That really don't mean anything we won 5 games lol. Did y'all not just learn?

 

[Samoan Souljah]

Lmao. Give it up ladies. Your dream of Mani is gone honey. Wipe those tears and lets move on together lol

 

[Odysseus]

And he will be soon exposed for the fraud he is coaching wise

Yea he has to go against some heavyweight coaches now can't just out talent anyone anymore

SIAP - classy move by Mario and staff

Spoiler

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

What a piece of **** move by the kid, be mature and face up to the coaches, tell them you’ve decided to choose another school, it happens.

He's a great recruiter and charismatic. However he also told Auburn that he's got better things to do with his time than schmooze the big money donors who fund the program. That's not really an option if a HC wants to succeed at the P5 level. Every coach- including Saban and Meyer- have needed to kiss the ring of the billionaires, as unpleasant as it maybe. He's already a multimillionaire and could walk straight into a TV gig at any time, so I don't think he's suddenly going to change his tune about participating in the dog and pony show with boosters. Personally, I don't think he makes it to five years with Colorado.

Not playing the political game is cute until the losses pile up. This whole situation has epic failure written all over it. From them not having the money to pay him when he signed mixed with all the gimmicks / hype / attention surrounding his hiring. It comes off as a meme. I guess we’ll see.

He won’t make it three years.

I can't believe kids can't see through his bs. It's all about him

Where did you get your high-interest loan for Colorado season tickets?

Strange group that shows up and gloats about L’s we take. What kind of ****tards do that to the fanbase of a team they’re supposedly fans of?

Answer: trolls who need to go elsewhere.

 

[RVACane]

Welp….back to what these Cormani threads is truly about is Rebirth Of Slick by Diggable Planets one of the most underrated hip hop songs of all time? Discuss…

Because Cormani is out like that???

 

[Odysseus]

U don't have to develop studs they develop themselves

You have to have some type of competent coaching and competition tho

I’m not moving goalposts here. The kid is talented as **** and this blows. But the kid seems weird

All or none of that could be true. It has 0 bearing on the fact that he will sign elite recruits. He may never field a winning team or stay at a job long but he 100% will get kids to Boulder based off being Deion.

 

[cyrez8]

He’ll do this once , maybe twice a year until things go south. This will be his niche, grab a kid that shocks cfb.

This is where I disagree with you. I think Deion will be at FSU in a few years

My father would have ***** slapped me all the way to Ecuador if I acted like this

Soft me-first generation enabled by social media and woke culture (not political)

 

[crossover22[]_[]]

No we’re going to be back to square 1 within two minutes so brace yourself.

Whats happening mane?

Yup grab one high 4 star or even 5 star play and 24 other 2 and 3 stars

People around Lakeland have been in the dark as much as anybody. That should’ve been a bigger red flag. I was just always told he was super quiet , awkward and it was a very private family. Well if he does in fact pick Colorado that was a lot of bs, because the Colorado stuff started because somebody there has a big mouth.

 

[Odysseus]

Unbelievable kids can't see through this

The kid is playing himself, he'll be in the portal soon he'll be culture shocked

 

[Calinative]

Dave will be gone. Penn gaming does not want him there long term. I know some people at the director level at barstool.

If they kick Portnoy out as head of Content, that would be very dumb.

 

[canemachine]

Surprised everyone is so upset about this. When he didn't sign I figured yall would've mourned already . We'll be fine our CB room is lowkey talented just needs development.
