Dyoni Hill is not hurt (we surmise... because injury news is not reported)

Agreed, but it’s not so much the embarrassment that would come from losing a game when you went Fort Knox mode for the fans to not enjoy the fall camp updates. That’s more of a gripe I have with cultivating interest within the fanbase instead of shutting them out, but nothing to do with results or on-field performance. If you win, no one will care about this.

However, It’s the embarrassment that would come from losing to a team in which we are profoundly more talented than, plus all the **** talk that’s gone on the last few months (me included, we should not lose this game). We have an advantage at pretty much every position, including the trenches and QB - the two most important spots at the collegiate level.

Coaching isn’t even a disadvantage. In fact, we have much better coordinators imo. So where are we weaker than them? The secondary? That’s it. Give me QB, RB, OL, WR, DT, DE, LB. I’ll give them corner, safety, and maybe TE is a wash since it’s a lot of potential and less results from our group.

If he finds a way to lose this, we've got bigger problems than just the 2024 season.

I’d give the Gators the nod at DB right now comparing unit to unit but other than that there isn’t a single place they have an advantage including ST. Again maybe it won’t mean anything and we will clam up and lose but Mario needs this victory beyond badly. Especially if Montrell doesn’t play - he’s a major major part of that offense.

Who is ****ing on you and telling you it’s raining exactly? Not saying stuff is much different than lying or telling you specific things…

Read the board and take the information as you will. Some are clearing seeing it as the Mario Media Network and that judgement is theirs to have…

“Telling you specific things…”

It probably makes sense to remember most of these dudes that keep talking about practice and their risers and people that look horrible and the rest of that they literally see us in stretches and some basic drills

I hear you and it certainly tempers how I take the info, but I am not completely sold.

The post directly following yours was @DMoney saying, "Here's what I can say: I've never had more access. But with that access, and the first game on the schedule, comes a need to be careful in what I say." And "most of these dudes" are reporting based on their conversations...

Everyone gets that. From what I see: all the concerned board veterans are asking for is not to **** on them and tell them it is raining..... when those people left other boards years ago and are seeing the same thing happening right here, right now as to why they left those boards...

No trace of the guy. It's like the earth opened up and swallowed him.

Had not seen this footage. I’m not concerned, but I would love someone who knows to give us a sign of life on Hill. At this point we’ve had more video of the sweltering heat than we have of Dyoni.

What does this mean? Everything I’ve said about camp on the pods is accurate (or, when based on my opinion, honest) and I guarantee it’s more informed than anywhere else.

If I can’t say something, I tell you guys.

@DMoney I'll bite, this thread is strangely interesting to me because we can't get an answer.

Can you, or can you not, tell us what's going on with Dyoni Hill right now and his lack of visibility thus far in camp? Emote is good too.

Thanks!

And "most of these dudes" are reporting based on their conversations with people within the program (who are there for more than stretches and individual drills).

There is clearly information the program wants public, and information the program wants contained. At it seems they're now able to exercise a greater degree of control. And maybe that's a good thing... who knows? Win the ACC and I sincerely doubt any actual fan of this program will care too much about the lack of camp news, depth chart updates, injury news, or transparent reporting on the team. But being an extreme program on information containment AND underperforming would just be a new level of un-fun.

If you are an investor/analyst of a private company and they gave you a tour of everything and went into detail breaking everything down for you that may have been unknown publicly, or considered a valuable secret that they just don't want to share YET, but gave you full access just saying don't share x, y, and z publicly, would that be a problem? Now I can see from a strictly journalistic point of view how that would be not so great. But if it is strictly a timing thing, Idk, because like look at all the youtubers doing phone reviews who have embargos on talking about the product (that they were given to test weeks/months ahead of time) until the company wants them to... that doesn't seem TOO bad...

I view it pretty similar. It would be entirely different if D$ was spreading misinformation though. And he has to be careful that the info he is sharing is actually true and not just some spin the staff is trying to spread, because that would lead to lack of trust which would be very detrimental to this site. But if through that access he gets more information about everything that he has higher confidence and trust in, I don't see how that is bad that it just comes with a caveat that he can't explicitly share some things that they want private for a certain amount of time.

Idk maybe @DMoney needs to start recording more predictions/info he's given with timestamps privately (and without edit), and then sharing it all at a later point/by end of season so that we can fully evaluate how beneficial all this is. But ultimately its not like him limiting what he shares is actually a negative in total coverage, because he COULD share basically nothing if he chose. Instead we are getting some info, and info that other sources aren't sharing. D$ being limited to the same access of the other mainstream reporters wouldn't be beneficial. So I think this is better at least. It'd be better if it was at least a little more open for sure.

Also I think as you get more successful as a program, Mario just needs to stop trying to keep everything in the vault. Like if you are truly a national title contender, you shouldn't be worrying about other teams having basic info about you - it's kinda weak. Now Maybe because this is a season where we expect a major leap AND have a road rivalry game week 1, it kinda makes him more secretive, but You wouldn't want this to be the default...

Have you guys considered that he could've been kidnapped by the Jalisco Cartel & is being held for ransom?

Hence why Mario wants to keep it quiet while negotiating terms of the exchange.

It's like you guys never think this stuff through & always just assume the worst smh...

Well, we're thin at CB and haven't heard a word about a transfer that's expected to help us.

Blaming fans for asking questions about an injury is just.......dumb.

You totally missed the point. No one said he was injured.

In fact, no one has said anything about a player we will need help from. And the people on here that would know are dodging questions.....so people's minds will start to wonder.

If a man's wife keeps coming home at 1am looking worn out and sweaty and refuses to say where she's been, is the man at fault for wondering if some other dude has been wearing her out prior to 1am?



If Hill was 100% fine, we'd hear his name mentioned in fall commentary. We've heard Judd Anderson's name a few times but not a transfer CB familiar with two of our coaches and playing at a thin position.

Did I miss the point, or are you guys jumping to conclusions & speculating simply because you haven't "heard" anything about him?

Again, have any of you worrisome hens considered that maybe he was kidnapped by the Jalisco Cartel & Mario doesn't want it to get out to the media?
