Whats so hard about offering the dude? There is several dudes on this team who should not be here. Taking 1 guy is not going to hurt the team at all.

Do you want to win the ACC or compete for titles? Then you're going to have to win games on short weeks when you're carrying some injuries. Yeah, signing a JAG matters.

Signing 1 doesnt. No team uses 85 players.

Shhhhh.... The adults are talking.

You dudes are miserable as ****. LMMFAO

You just say the same **** over and over and over again. WE GET IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you ran the program, you would do things one way, if you were a five star recruit you would do things one way, but you're not, oh well for you.

They always talking about how miami needs to play the game but when its time to do it they come with all kinds of ****.

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?

There's no downside to you to letting a recruit dictate offers a year ahead to the weak part of the package deal because it's not your money, job, team and reputation on the line.

Says the man who will ***** when Lo goes elsewhere. Money, job, team and reputation are on the line if you cannot win because you cannot pull in the studs. When you start winning you can dictate the terms, until then you are one in the pack trying to get a leg up. That is why Bama as I think it was you noted does not need to offer cuz.

Supply and demand, they have the supply right now and they know we need it, win the ACC, play for a title, then the tables turn.

So the only way UM can win is with Lingard? How'd that work for LSU and Fournette? Miles went and got him and did what it took and got fired.

Go get Lingard. Make a deal. But be smart. I trust Rick's judgment on this over yours and the "just do whatever Lingard wants" crew. His job is on the line, and he's a UM guy who loves UM. He'll do it how he wants, and we'll get good enough RBs to win here.

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

Lol. I'm not sure why people argue what is scene or heard with one's own ears. It most certainly did have plenty to do with why they didn't come here. We're there other factors as well,of course there was. But that was the initial point that made us say not much we can do on them. That was during spring practice of their Junior years that Miami already said that.

They also went and got his gimpy brother, Lanard, a couple years after Leonard. lalz

Jeff James had 11 picks in his first and only year of playing HS ball. He earned that offer.

No he did not. Plenty of guys in high school put up stats and dont get offers to big schools. If edge wasnt his uncle he would not have got that offer.

I don't remember Dalvin and others openly tweeting or announcing that they'd play somewhere if some lesser known prospect got an offer. They may have made that request but it wasn't done publicly. It smells of being open to the highest bidder. So I get why some people are hesitant.

This sounds like UM with getting stuck with another sub-P5 level "reach" on the roster when some SEC program busts our "package deal" in 2018.

There is no way signing a 1 or 2 star recruit lands you two 5 stars. UM is never going to be that lucky.

Once his cousin is all setup in his room in Coral Gables, all of a sudden he's wide open again with no clear leader.

Even if this type of arrangement works elsewhere, for some reason, it won't work out for UM, or at a minimum, has a higher probability of failure.

Who said lingard isnt already leaning to miami and wants his cousin there with him? I dont think he is going to any big program that offers his cousin.

How long have you been following recruiting? No one is leaning UM until they sign with UM.

He cant sign yet he is 2018. Every recruit aint the same. Like i said if texas a&m offers his cousin he isnt going there.

How do you know where he's going?

 

[Brooklyndee]

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

I thought that's what his Tweet said. Didn't sound like the guarantee you said it was last night.

So just to be clear, it's no longer him guaranteeing it like you said last night?

Buddy needs to stop the nonsense already. All that is going on right now is he's trying to get his cousin a free opportunity that without the possibility of him wouldn't exist. This chess & checkers **** is a joke. Nothing about this is difficult. He's NOT going to lock himself in now with any school just because of the cousin & you're a blind optimist if you're foolish enough to think he will. You all might be morons but does every staff around the country have to be as well? I'm aware of two "olive branches" that have been extended his way elsewhere. You think he'll settle by cashing in nothing but a schollie for his cousin? Bwaaahhaha good one

Is it possible that FSU took him, in part, because he is Fred Jones' son and Marvin Jones' nephew?

Where is the risk at? Its one guy out of 85.

No. Cade weldon pops played at fsu and jimbo didnt offer him.

LOL at "you dudes." You don't like what I'm saying because it's not the automatic "just do whatever the kid wants" response that you're looking for.

Offer them a package deal. I'm cool with whatever Rick chooses.

If he wants to take a flyer on Tiny Tim with the hope Lingard will come next year then I'm all in. If he doesn't because he thinks it's a lame shyst, then I'm good with that too.

I trust the guy who has signed a laundry list of AA blue chip RBs. I'm sure he's dealt with these bargaining games plenty of times and did a pretty good job with it.

Lingard is a great talent, but if Rick decides he doesn't want to let him be the recruiting coordinator this year in order to have a chance to sign him next year then that's cool.

I suggested a viable alternative where they sign together next year. Why's that so outrageous? If they both really want to come to UM then that would be great for everyone.

Did Rick offer a scholarship to Merken Michel when he signed Sony?

Edge has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to UM and brought tremendous attention to the school. He should have some juice at UM. Why should Lingard have the same juice as Edge?

On top of that, Jeff James is a very talented dude.
