I was with it until dude called one of our ‘24 commits, who is recruiting harder than probably any other recruit, a joke. Maybe he meant it in a joking way but that’s not cool IMO

This thread went full AIDS

It certainly was a harsh way to put it, but I believe he was calling the effort to get Hakeem a joke.

I think I’ve said it prior but it’s time to stash Hykeem away on the “Check back with him in late October” big board. If we are hitting on all cylinders and either undefeated or have one loss going into that Clemson game..recruits like Hykeem will take notice. You know he will be at home games this year to check the vibes. Be patient and let the season play out. It’s way too early to call this one either way. Some kids we will need to fight for until December.
 
Maannnn....F-him....I know it's the same cliche, "if he doesn't want to be here then get to steppin"....but it's true. If he doesn't want to be part of what Mario is diligently building, with a plethora of Grade A assistant coaches to learn from. Not to mention an incredible influx of $$$$$$ to the program, enabling us to upgrade facilities, then do everyone a favor and haul ***.

All I needed to know.
 
Not Gona be easy getting elite WR here until they see what the offense looks like here. (If it is indeed balanced enough) Programs are easily scaring recruits saying we’re just going to pound the ball.

With Inniss (OSU) & Brown (LSU) committed elsewhere and Williams seeming like he loves the recruiting process more than the game itself (we’ve seen how these turn out countless times), I’d be all in favor of the WR board expanding nationally in our search for explosive size/speed boundary receivers.

Maybe the stars align and we can make a push for a blue-chip WR who’s not even being talked about on the board right now. Different position, of course, but Citizen wasn’t discussed at all here until the 11th hour and Mario landed him out of Louisiana against SEC suitors who wanted him badly.

Mario and co.’s national recruiting approach is the best way to handle this local WR situation. If the well is poisoned, go elsewhere for your supply until it gets fixed.
 
Here is the thing that still confuses me.

Keep hearing this narrative that schools are negatively recruiting Mario for his pound the ball offensive philosophy.

I get it, but the schools that are doing this, and some of favorites for these So FL diva WRs run the ball more than Mario!!

UGA does
Napier did at Louisiana
Texas and Jimbo are barely behind Mario offense at Oregon last year in running, but they ran more than throw.

For anyone who was on page 75 before dinner but smartly skipped to the end instead of reading it all like I did:

A dude who’s part of Lamar’s Miller camp but also calls one of our commits a joke has posted twenty eleven times just telling us over and over Hykeem isn’t coming.

Youre all caught up now.

Thank you. What a waste of 10 pages by someone who clearly wanted some attention.
 
someone that's connected to the kids, on here saying that Mario isn't giving local kids love.... You're the problem.

Mario is a relentless dude that is after the absolute best, especially if they're in HIS backyard. Anyone saying anything different is just a troll trying to create a narrative that he can pander to the masses (as in all the kids without offers). The kids haven't been the problem, its been the grown ups guiding them saying this dumb **** and more so now when we literally have the most qualified staff and support in the nation.
 
Thats the downside of having so many elite kids poppin' so early in the recruiting process. We as fans get spoiled into thinking that all the kids need to do the same or they are not interested. These kids have 5 months for ESD and 7 months for Feb NSD and ****..if they want to pull a Joshua Connerly they can wait even longer. We have PLENTY of time to change Hykeems mind if he isnt exactly feeling us right now. PLENTY. And he is a local kid so when the season starts, all those OOS schools are at a disadvantage. He is in our wheelhouse come August. Let Mario work his magic. He is clearly the #1 WR on our board and probably a top 3 overall recruit left on the board to boot.

Jalen wanted to leave S Fla and be closer to his mother so she can watch him play. What's the problem with that? Not every S Fla recruit wants to stay home.

All i hear is excuses. We only get this for SO FL players. When it seems Kirkland was trolling man wrote him off. Aint nothing wrong with them choosing to go elsewhere and there is nothing wrong with Miami ignoring them and going nationwide for highly talented players. And stay away from their politics.
