2025 Davon Mitchell 5* TE from Los Alamitos, CA (‘24 Reclass Likely) [commits to OU]

[Ispyin]

holy **** just catching up here.
for the love of Sebastian the Ibis….

STOP CRYING ABOUT EMOJIS

JFC

 

[TriStarCane]

We got outsold. The hustle is there with the staff but you gotta articulate the vision better.

This changed between your Drake gif on Wednesday night and today? What had you confident on Weds? He bought our offensive plan Weds and was talked out of it by today? Looking for clarity here

 

[GojiraCane]

You’re right that he’s a luxury but there’s a bigger issue lurking. We have top targets at positions and one has picked us thus far and numerous have chosen elsewhere.

Which speaks to three possibilities:

1) NIL has been upped elsewhere and we stayed pat

2) We’re planning a late charge and flipping with bumped up NIL very late in the game (kind of like bidding on EBay on the final seconds)

3) Mario lost the cache of hope and optimism that he had a year ago


If you were Mitchell’s parents…do you not consider the fact that he’ll be competing (potentially) with:

Arroyo
Skinner
Williams
Carver
Lofton

Again, it is a LOADED room already.

I wish I could get rid of it altogether.

Fair enough. I just always get a chuckle when a Florida porster complains that he's "out of downvotes".

 

[RVACane]

Siiiiiiiigh;

This place has become the epicenter for the gluttony of punishment, & it’s fueled by a whole slew of clout chasing fake insiders who incite the board by posting HR gifs, making audacious statements like “Cane Lock” or “Cane.” Post like this from these wannabes constantly creates a false sense of security, & hope.

I told ya’ll mofos very specifically Dakoda Fields thread when he was being hyped up that some of these Cali kids we’re after are pipe dreams. Vegas & Cali r two different states & two different mentalities. I’ve had mucho back & forths w/ @gogeta4 as we constantly compare notes between the So Fla Kids vs. So Cal kids. The only slight difference is So Cal kids r way more loyal to SC than So Fla to Miami, but even then that loyalty is tested.

Regardless, I think it needs to be stated again: STOP THE BULL CHIT CLOUT CHASING W/ THE CANE LOCK CHIT. There’s only a few who r tried & tested insiders, & when they say “we feel good where we are”, THAT DOES NOT MEAN CANE LOCK! It means we had a fruitful, bountiful conversation & we’ve put ourselves in a good spot like the others to land their commitment. But enough w/ everyone trying to be something they ain’t. I’m tired of seeing the same few knuckleheads getting “insider vibes” for the Summer, constantly changing their handles every fcking year, causing a chit storm. And if u have a problem w/ what I said, come holla at me.

I agree with a lot of this but are insiders saying “Cane lock” and “Cane” or is it just regular posters? I see regular posters do that - oh wait, I do see one semi-insider post stuff like that. The rest are regular Joe’s on here. I don’t think it’s rampant amongst insiders but I easily could be missing it.

If Insiders are changing their handles surreptitiously, I’m not recalling that.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

This guy doesn't know ****.

I don't want to offend anyone with a red X or a middle finger, but you are flat-out wrong.

Checks emojis to see if I should agree and how aggressively …

 

[TRick72]

The mods should eliminate the reputation scores and points and emojis are no longer a significant issue.

How am I supposed to impress the ladies at the old watering hole without reputation scores???

1mur said NIL isn’t the case in this situation. He said we’re not selling the vision well on offense.

I think NIL has been an issue in some of these in the sense that others have caught up and maybe some are outbidding us.

I think last year was very detrimental to us. I don’t like banking on the “we’ll just flip guys” strategy.

As to Mitchell’s parents and our loaded TE room, like I said, I get that he’s a luxury and for whatever reason went elsewhere but there’s a pattern of missing top targets this cycle thus far - that’s more concerning at this point with the exception of Riley.

We still have a number of top guys out there and can have a really good to great class if things go our way from here on out but right now, I’m not seeing it and 25% of July is gone.

#1..... Dude did say that OU has been recruiting him the longest out of any school and he's visited there more than any school. Sooo uhh, could that have been the deciding factor? I don't buy that the staff dropped the ball on his recruitment because of unclear plans of usage. I mean, how long did Mitchell figure that out? Hours before his decision?? Oooh snap, I just figured that Miami won't know how to use me! Even though I put them in my top 2 and they've been recruiting me all summer long.

#2.... I.... really did not know you guys honestly felt so much towards emojis. Like. I 100% did not know it had that much of an effect on you guys emotions. Like you can be having the best day ever, get on this site, see a laughing emoji or a middle finger and now your feelings change? Sheesh.

So with that being said, I will take responsibility and be more careful to what and how I react to you guys because I really thought y'all could careless about that type of stuff and I personally wouldn't want to ruin anyone's day.

I said “wannabe fake insiders who constantly change their handles.”

 

[TRick72]

Good start for Dawson.

Wonder if including Holgorsen in recruiting meetings would help….

 

[Page305]

I think major problem is that....we don't have ENOUGH reaction emojis lol. We need more options to express our feelings. Maybe I don't want to use the middle finger (I personally never used it) but maybe there's no other closer option lol

But for real though, I don't know why you guys even added that one. Y'all should have known that a **** middle finger would cause trouble lol

 

[RVACane]

I said “wannabe fake insiders who constantly change their handles.”

I don’t know what that means. We have people changing handles. I’m not aware of any offhand that try to be insiders. I must be missing it. I agree with the rest of what you posted though

We made a bad decision. We got rid of the dumb emoji. I’ve had no luck on this one.

Lightfoot was a good land but there’s no doubt about it, we’re struggling on the trail

They should’ve left you in purgatory.

Not worth trying to explain the emoji thing.

We were recruiting Ionata longer than Bama. We were recruiting Noland longer than Ohio State.

We’ve been losing every which way.
