Agree but you can’t lose a kid that you coached and he knew you his entire life. That’s indefensible.
Even if we're winning, those guys will still be loyal to whoever cuts them a check. What winning will do is entrench us in the hearts and minds of recruits.
Never trust a silent committ. Either ur committed or not.
While this sucks, I agree with you and furthermore it’s better to get this now instead of finding out about him wanting to jump right before NSD or the early version. At least now you can put together the best class given what is left (really decent names) instead of scrambling to fill a spot.
You gotta get the kids first man. What 3 star DB went first round from UF?
That's how all of this is solved. Expecting all of the top kids down here to commit to an under-performing team would take effort from EVERYONE; parents, coaches, friends, handlers, teachers, etc. We don't have the juice currently which means our staff has to work double time just to get some kids to even consider us, and easier for a Bama or UGA to cherry pick whomever.
I think I’m one of the most fair critics of rumph. And I blame him when it calls for it. I know the optics but this one falls elsewhere
Much respect bro
No one is running me off anywhere, I'll stand in the fire & take whatever heat anyone wants to send my way. I just share whatever info I have & offer my perspective that's that, never claimed to be an insider, except when it comes to MNW that's different, that's my school lol.
But in this case, I made 5 predictions on this site for Marshall, starting back in April, UF, then Bama, then UF again, then Bama, then Miami lol. For the last month my sources were 2 coaches who knew Marshall since optimist ball & both said they believed he was going to commit to Miami, I didn't believe it at first but every time I asked they consistently told me "Miami". The whole debacle on 8/1 was, the kid had indicated to the staff he was nearing a commitment & they believed it would be Miami, Manasco leaked it to to Ivins & Ivins told Wiltfong, hence the CB's & the Manny tweet, but Manasco convinced his parents & Jason to hold off & wait, thus everything stalled.
Every writer covering Miami for 247 including Urrtia & David Lake CB's Marshall to Miami, Gaytors insider (who CB'd both Smith & Taylor to Miami) also CB'd Jason to Miami. All of the talk had been Miami or Bama with Miami having huge momentum, then he picks UF.
No one knew he was picking UF, if they did there would've been Crystal balls from writers picking UF, so if people simply use logic something obviously happened in the last week.
Exactly @franchise I think has been saying stop falling for the position coach guru crap.
he was almost a goner twice.
This should be the mature response, only thing unsettling is that we’ve had several insiders on here who have stated that UF has strained their relationship with the palmetto kids or haven’t been recruiting at the level of our staff. 3 of his teammates are committed and 2 of them commit to Miami in weeks, Every insider CBs him to us, as a coach you let the kids make their own choices and live with it. Even if he were to commit to Miami and flip on NSD that’s his decision and he lives with it. But to tell him to wait and all of a sudden UF has this magical comeback. Just seems fishy..
