July 2023 Recruiting BBQ Thread

[HughFreezemyCuckoldYesPlz]

I’ve been telling y’all for years that Te’Cory Couch was the best DB on the team….

He looked great coming out of high school and it made zero sense why he suddenly looked like he didn’t belong here until you realized who was in charge

I think you are wrong. These are college age women.

They may be in college but they skipped a couple grades….you keep posting this and somebody might come knocking and ask you about posting child pornography….

shodell's write up on him:

Cane coaches are making an impression on Hall, who is going through the process before making a decision.

Hall says of DL coach Joe Salave’a that “That’s my guy,” adding of Mario Cristobal that “he is one of those head coaches that everybody needs in college football, cares about the grind.

“I really like the coaching staff, like everyone here. It’s a great environment.”

The bottom line thought?

“I love it here,” Hall said. “Miami, Florida. … I just like it a lot here.

I hope we did enough to secure a OV.

I took my 4 year old son to show him the UM campus where I went to college today and we actually ran into a bunch of recruits at the BBQ by the school pool and I got to talk to OL coach Mirabal and my son threw up The U to him! It was a great surprise. Told him how excited/grateful we are to have him and the new staff and to please bring The U back to the greatness of the 80’s to early 2000’s!

Is Hecht Residential still there or did it get torn down?

 

[Caneoverhere]

BBQ Just one step in the process. Building blocks for the future. Sounds like it was a success.

 

[Kempo Cane]

MARIO got this!

Hmmmm, my womang sez the skrimp boils is usually on a table laying on newzpapers and such. Said she had to bring the paper to the last one cause most of the people thar don’t read. She said I always be hittin the sippin whiskey two hard.

Looks like Hecht is pretty much down and Stanford still to go, this is from a week old article.

Six decades of history at the University of Miami is being torn to pieces

Demolition crews are slowly chipping away at the four high-rise buildings that formed the skyline at the University of Miami and served as home for thousands of students for more than 50 years.

Few thoughts. It isn’t ****. They are fully clothed. When I was 42 I married a 25 year old. I know that just bc it is legal doesn’t make it age appropriate. Ask @Empirical Cane you cant tell imurcane nothing.

This is funny as ****. If you don’t have 1000 likes, it has to mean CIS doesn’t get you. No homo. I get you. And if you are homo good for you. Live your truth.

I have some great memories from both Hecht and Stanford. RIP

@Coach Macho — good stuff. Thanks.

 

[JHallCanes]

This is amazing stuff @Coach Macho

And one of the best parts about it is it’s not like you come around here every off-season and blow sunshine on these boards

You’ve been very critical and blunt in the past even when people didn’t want to hear it

So seeing you excited makes me excited as ****

Francis just looks much shorter in that picture due to the angle. He's a freakin' massive human being... And he LOOKS better than any high school OL I've ever seen. I thought he was somebody's big a$s daddy. He starts from day one IMO.

So a few tidbits...

My 2025 Defensive Linemen are all SEC level kids. They were at UF last night. They actually WOKE OUR COACH UP in the morning and said "Coach, we gotta get to Miami!" Needless to say, they were excited.

Macho, is Josh Lloyd on that level as well, or not quite?

Thanks for the updates, sounds great.

 

[TallyCane]

Is there a confirmed list of who all actually made it to the BBQ?

When they were in the pool I overheard one of them say to the other - "I ain't gonna lie bruh, this the most fun I ever had on a visit."

So I butt in and say "Yall having fun? Yall like it here?"

"Yeah coach, this is where I wanna go!"
Other kid - "Coach, the other schools are nicer on the inside, but that's it. They don't be like this on the outside. It ain't this vibe."
"UF was aight, it was cool, but it wasn't this."

(something along those lines)

Needless to say, our kids really enjoyed themselves and Salavea does a great job of recruiting them.

The hospitality is next level. No stone unturned. As you can see, they even had an assistant walking around handing out popsicles. They had busses driving recruits/families back and forth from the Hecht to the pool all day.

The event started with Mario giving a speech and showing renderings of the new facilities. Some really impressive stuff. State of the art, top of the line. And it will be ready sooner than you think. After Mario was finished speaking, offense and defense broke out into different groups. Mario stayed and spoke to the parents while defensive line, defensive backs, linebackers and offensive players broke off into individual meeting rooms.

Myself, Antione Jackson and Xavier Lucas went to Coach Addae's room with the DB's.
Addae is a great dude. He spent 42 minutes on the phone with me Thursday morning going over coverage schemes and DB technique. He even offered to FaceTime me and draw it up on the board, but I was at work. There's not too many college coaches who are that down to earth. Unfortunately I don't think he'll be here long, as he's extremely qualified for a major DC position.
SIDENOTE: He says Couch is his best DB and will be playing primarily Nickel this season. We talked about how the last staff affected his play, but I won't say to much about that. Let's just say... LOL. (Manny)

Speaking of the latter...
As some of you might remember, I complained about previous staffs not even speaking to me while I was on campus. Not creating relationships. I have coaching buddies who were with me and can co-sign the same feelings. Well I brought one of those coaching buddies with me today and he was blown away. Guys, this is night and day from Manny's staff. You can't go anywhere without a UM staffer greeting you...whether it's a coach, equipment manager, assistant, GA, whoever. These dudes go out of their way to LOOK for people to talk to. Mario must have that **** drilled into them.

They had burgers with all the toppings available, massive hot dogs, chicken fingers, waffle fries, regular fries, salad, mac and cheese, water, diet coke, Coke zero, regular coke, and various gatorades. Oh, and veggie burgers.

Funny/crazy story...
I met 2 separate people connected to Kinsler...an hour apart. They both told the same story.
Kinsler never actually committed to Florida. Florida got him with no adult figure around, and asked him "Did you enjoy your visit?"
When the kids said yes, they shook his hand and said "welcome aboard".
And they put him down as committed.
Apparently that's one of the reasons he decommitted, because he never actually committed in the first place. More like he was pressured into it. Also, their staff has been rubbing some kids the wrong way. Apparently they spent a lot of time talking down other schools and making fun of other coaches. When these kids are talking to Miami, they're hearing a lot about how they're going to be developed, how they're going to be coached, etc. Miami coaches aren't concerned with talking down other schools/coaches. UF apparently spends most of their time knocking other schools down to make themselves look better. (i.e. talking down on Mirabal etc)
UF didn't handle themselves professionally with Kinsler.
It gets way worse, but I don't want to put too many details on here. Let's just say, they totally lost Kinsler with their antics, and they'll lose more kids if they don't start acting like adults. UF won't be much of a threat to our recruiting IMO. (except maybe Raymond, he's good)

this is the Casablanca of CIS posts, right here
