Does that track team offer full scholarships? Baseball has to split a handful of scholarships for the whole team.

Track (including cross country) gets 12.6 scholarships to hand out. Baseball gets 11.7. Football (85) and basketball (13) are the only men's head count sports.

Thanks. 12.6 to spread out amongst how many participants?

I don't know how many participants Miami has for men's track and cross country, but it's probably well over twice the number of scholarships available.

That's money. UM costs about $50K per year now. Plus housing and food. He wants UM to give the cousin who isn't cut out for this level all that money.

Lingard is worth two scholarships. Tweed said the kid is willing to walk-on and if that's the case than there is no real reason not to offer that.

If he's willing to walk on then there's no need to discuss any of this. Anyone can try out for the team. We have all kinds of terrible walk-ons on the team. Walk-ons have to pay tuition though.

this attitude is why we play checkers not chess... its cutthroat out there. offer a job to the parent. get the brother in school. get the cousin a track schollie. find a way. ASKING HIM TO WALK ON is losers mentality

Being a simp and getting played is loser's mentality. You guys have no clue how to make deals or negotiate.

You don't sign an FIU player in 2017 with the ALMOST guarantee of getting the 5 star in 2018. Package deal is fine, but Lingard needs to sign before Tiny Tim. Otherwise, you're a checkers playing simp.

I'd take my deal making/negotiating skills over yours any day of the week... lol. Btw, football or track schollies are only one year commitments. UM is not committing to the guy for four years. If LO does not fill his end of the bargain AND LD turns out to be a dud, you can part ways and free up a schollie for 2018. That being said, looks like the fam is all about the Canes. When you develop the kind of relationships these coaches put into these high level recruits, you would hope your word still means something. If not, the downside is low.

Telling the customer to swipe his card after he orders a Whopper isn't "deal making." Carry on though, son.

[MENTION=12910]Brooklyndee[/MENTION] what you think? should/would the staff take this chance?

Nah. Staff will not waste scholarships on players we don't want. That is the lone reason we don't have Holloman. Again it all about numbers.

I'm pretty sure Richt has played the package deal game before. I personally loathe it.

I hate it too...but if want to get back and get on that elite level...you make the deal. We've already offered the younger cousin...so that's 2 out of 3

 

[CanesFactory]

to be fair though, Linguard is a Todd Gurly like RB and Hollomann is just a good 4 star prospect

might be more willing to get a package going for Linguard

I doubt he's done it where the bad half of the package comes in a year before the good half is supposed to come. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone do that.

His tape reminds me of Corn Elder. That's who I see when I watch.

Why the **** we always got to take package deals when bama don't this feel like that bs Ridley and Becker tried to pull

No, your previous point is well taken. That would be a sucker's bargain.

You're not taking the time to realize every situation is unique from another. Everyone has done a package deal as in normal instances they make sense. However our situation is our depth is VERY minimal. Every scholarship is critical & we can't afford to just give out free rides especially in the hope of getting kids next year. That's bad business in any circumstance let alone ours. This isn't my opinion. This comes direct from staff as I've had this conversation with one of the coaches pertaining to a player that came our way this year including a transfer.

Are you serious? Lmfao... jeezus man. You realize you just used as a example a package deal we couldn't accept right?!? Bama clearly took it but we were offered first I'm trying to remember the other kids name. Give me a Lil bit & I'll remember. He was a real small db. We couldn't take because 2 out of the 3 had issues with transcripts & Becker had already been flagged by compliance. I always thought that was common knowledge.

 

[Tweed]

Lo said, "Let me play with my cousin somewhere, buy 1 get 2 free". He did not say he's going wherever LJ goes.

You dudes are funny man. Arguing about the price tag of Miami's tuition as if Miami literally writes a check to itself. GTFOH

You guys act as if there was a bidding war in your professional lives you wouldn't take the job that offers the most AND helps out family.

 

[Tweed]

Transcripts had ZERO to do with why Ridley & Shawn aren't here.

 

[RVACane]

I'm hoping that the cousin has a silent offer or understanding that will come out on signing day as another poster suggested. This would be a good chess move to keep it low and make the needed inroads without alerting other programs.

 

[Tweed]

Other programs have already offered him. Within five minutes of Lo sending out that Tweet 4 schools text him.

 

[ucaned]

There is seemingly no down side to the deal. Scholarships are renewable so a player can be cut per se if needed. We are devoid of talent, and for the star chasers we only have two 5* players on the roster. We can double that by doing the deal.

Cuz comes from 5* bloodlines. That does not mean he will be an impact player, but that plus the chance to be on the field with his family may make him one of those classic UM players that is about his team, plays with heart and gives 110% (those SFLA specials we all talk about - even though he is not from SFLA).

Checkers and chess boys, which game do you want to play boys?

 

[JMG]

If you don't mind me asking, do you know what schools have contacted Lawrence Coleman after the tweet and what schools have offered him?

Thanks for all the inside knowledge you provide, Tweed. It is much appreciated.

Got to play the game. We got several defensive players and offensive players on scholarship who don't need to be here but they are.... in this case this helps you land elite talent down the road
