DT Simeon Barrow, Jr. commits to Miami

View as article
Agreed.

I could show you texts and DMs from Friday where I was telling people that I didn't expect Barrow to actually leave, once he figured out his real options. And also because the weather forecast for the weekend was "cooler temperatures".

Crazy times we live in.

i received one of the texts, a DM and even a telex. TOC is legit, meng!

Barrow really is a key piece, so if anything his return and subsequent announcement will provide another opportunity to spike the ball in everyone's face....again. We truly own the offseason.
Dog days of summer hitting soon, do you think he'll melt in the Florida sun tho?

Fixed. Meth scene has died off since the 90s. Sad. Tweakers would do good manual labor for cheap.


I dont get the lightning thing.... grew up in the haven but never seen any lightning like it is in Pinellas Tampa area.
 
It's a bit more complex, and is at least partially related to the issue of how quickly you must recruit Portal players, and how little due diligence is actually done.

Assuming this all is true (and it is too recent for me to know for sure), the $50K was supposedly money that LSU paid to the father in order to steer Barrow to LSU, and that Barrow was not really aware of this until he chose Miami. LSU wants the money back and Barrow is trying to help, though Miami didn't know of this issue in advance.

Regardless, it's still an unexpected bump in the road, whether the bump is innocent or intentional.
how wasnt he aware of this when we had posters on here posting about it weeks before he picked us.

Matter of fact i didnt think he would pick us because he already took cash from lsu to jump in the portal... we paid more for his services more than likely is the only way we got him.

so D$ did a podcast not long ago (this morning) and said what he said in this thread essentially that he expects it to get worked out, no direct confirmation but that is his prediction.

He also said it was NOT NIL related and we dont have to worry about that being a Rashada situation as long as CanesConnection is around and operating how it has been. Also said it was not a competition or "I was promised start snaps" issue. D$ said he was being vague and he knew that since he could not disclose too much but compared it to the Bachelor where you are forced into a relationship in a short amount of time unlike HS recruiting and said this happens in HS and things get worked out and this was more like one of those issues where if there was more time it likely is ironed out prior to him getting to campus.

Couple that with the blurb above from 247 saying that a "glitch" in the system showing Barrow still in the portal and not yet enrolled is what Mizzou thought they could still recruit and bring him in. My guess is Mizzou was still recruiting him and he either had a higher NIL # in mind or some other perk from Mizzou or alternatively an issue at UM was making him reconsider. He decided to leave assuming he could join Mizzou, UM intentionally leaked it and blasted Mizzou's name everywhere to help with tampering and the kid realizes he cannot leave and decides to come back.

I also doubt many of the kids on the team care. This is just the new age of CFB. If he is a cool dude, plays well and the team wins, all will be forgotten.
Sadly, our generation X , and our children’s semblance of loyalty to anything tangible is a loose asDeon’s lips 👄 n a recruits shaft!!!
