2025 Elijah Melendez Commits to Canes! (Decommits 8/31)

[Damiencane86]

Lol

Forgive them for they not know the game

It’s a certainty he’s seeing benefits from these visits. Mario is a big boy and he will handle it.

And it’s not like he’s visiting these schools because he’s being rewarded handsomely to do so but visiting us for free

Cmon now, the game is the game

Playing them like a fiddle

I feel like in the past a kid committed making his “final decision” was 100% guaranteed he would go elsewhere but last year and the year before I swear that’s changed a lot

NIL changed it that's why. Commit earlier and lock in an arrangement then visits elsewhere are the old school brown bag induced visits.

Agreed. Just wasn’t sure if I was correct or not but sure felt like it changed

I have no inside info on this one but I doubt he’s a Cane

"Ole Miss and Oklahoma really pushed Miami, but at the end of the day Miami was the best fit for both Melendez and his parents.

"It was good. Every visit was just me and my brother. My parents ain't go on no visits. The whole time, this was the only visit my parents came on. My dad wanted me at Miami so bad. So did my mom.""

Would you shut it down if you were getting paid just to visit ? Probably not, like being a hot chick knowing dudes are gonna pay for a 5 star dinner and get none. This is what he's doing to these other schools.

Better hope we are the alpha Chad.

 

[SaiyaMan305]

LOL wonder if he reads the board. Or just a coincidence

 

[Damiencane86]

Better hope we are the alpha Chad.

For so many years we were playing the opposite role so the fan base has ptsd. But that's over now, all we gotta do now is the recruiting equivalent of sending a wyd text at midnight and more often than not we will get what we want.

Lol this is cute.....

But I ain't believing anything jit say until he sends his NLI

I agree but same time we are gonna land him

I expect some November/December Bob Ross sightings though

Yeah I honestly do think we will land him....but by no means do I believe he's completely shutting anything down. His excuse for his next visit out of town will be that he didn't get to experience it with his parents the first time lol.

BUT it would be amazing if he's really locked in and hopefully he can help recruit.

I like to think you can take a kid for his word. Mario has an impressive flip rate (or lack of on our end)

I don’t have first hand insider info but everything I’ve heard was the kid has been all in from the beginning so seems (hopefully) he’s just been collecting bags and might continue to do so
