So why tf people were mad? Dude never did anything and I bet pops ain’t have an account anywhere else. And if they trying to secure business deals/NIL he earned it. Let them do them. His son never did anything on social media for clout at all.

The internet gives attention to a loud minority of ******** that like to stir up bs with zero threat of a punch returning to their face.

Right after Miami canceled the OV on him 3 days before the game too to focus on the championship. Wasn’t blaming the family for feeling slighted at all. Thankfully it got cleared up and he signed with us.

They never played games and handled the recruiting process the right way. Looking forward to seeing him play for Miami the next 3-4 years

I was cool with the info of the cancellation of the OC cause pops cleared it up. I waited to see what the reaction and story was till I said anything. The reason Mario gave was honest and perfect and pops was with it. People complaining are ncaa 25 recruiters

No attention or clout by the player or family. Just popped up he committed and everyone was like “ wtf”. I don’t know much about the Wiley’s but with how that recruitment was handled says a lot about them. You rarely see this. It was a one in a million situation. A breath of fresh air.

There were a few that think otherwise but I absolutely agree with this sentiment.

This is what many forget. It started with UM canceling the visit and kinda left player hanging. Who wouldn’t feel slighted and even then they never did anything to disrespect UM or Mario. And he still signed with UM cos this is where he wanted to be. Nuff said
 
Watching our 2nd level play this year, KW could be the biggest get in the class. He has all the physical gifts and then some to be great LB for the Canes. It’s clear he has a good head on his shoulders. His film is ridiculous. Feel bad for some of those kids.

Go Canes!

Imagine being a subject matter expert when the creator of the subject is in the room 🤣.
On another note, I can’t wait till we start cleaning up the Tampa Bay Area. Me and an alumni teacher tried to convince Dante Fowler jr to go to UM when I was at Lakewood, I’ve hated watching our guys go to UF & FSU.

Popo, portal LB, Bobby Wash, and Wiley LB rotation gonna hit like crack next season compared to what we had to bear watching Kiko, Wes, and Alderman.

Seems like everyone forgets Hayes. Is there something about him not looking like a future starting LB that I've missed? Thought he was gonna be the goods.

Just haven't seen enough of him yet tbh. And add Pruitt too. If he keeps maturing physically he should be very good.

I know it doesn’t fit the mope narrative but I’m pretty excited about the potential we have at LB. Most of the younger players that got PT popped on screen. Now adding this kid who is a superstar in the making..

The little I saw of Hayes he look like he belongs. Popo & Pruitt definitely had great moments. We badly need Wiley to make an impact & to grab a great portal kid cuz Wesley, Alderman ain't it.

This is where I differ from many on this board.

I think Wesley Bissainthe had a pretty good year and will get drafted in the 4th to 7th round following next season.
Kiko regressed and was disappointing no doubt.

I think Alderman is a serviceable backup, #4 or 5 LB type…But does look a step slow, can take or leave him but I don't think he's hopeless. Should obviously not be a starter on a top 25 defense

I don't understand the #31 hate.

Wes is terrible. Alderman too slow. Need to upgrade our speed. This is where Wiley makes a difference. Glad we got him.
