Landon Ibieta Midseason SR HL

[SFbayCane]

I suppose we'll find out on Wednesday if this was a good move by Mario.

Called this months ago. Baton Rouge is in his backyard.

You get no credit for that prediction. Unless you called Brian Kelly to LSU and Mario Cristobal to UM months ago too. lol

Had no idea that LSU would be so bad, but I expected Diass to be released!

This is a message board, I think we are entitled to have our own opinions no? I am fully on board with Mario, love 95% of what he has done but that doesnt mean we have to blindly agree with every single decision. In this case I think it was a mistake dropping Ibieta because I feel like he IS a top tier prospect. Others do as well but everyone has been pretty civil about it.

He was solid to UM, thats why there was no noise from the big boys. There were articles on rival message boards early on that LSU and Alabama came poking around and wanted him on campus right after committing to Miami but he declined. Now that it appears he is available Nebraska and LSU have already offered and my guess is more on the way.

Totally agree that everyone can voice their opinion on this, Mario or not. I know that outside of some specific ridiculously great highlight tapes where guys are cutting past everyone on the field, i have no idea what i'm watching since every highlight tape is a TD fest. Everyone on here is an expert on everything but half the WRs they were sure were going to be badasses either stinks or contribute for one year. So its a crap shoot and Mario has to go with what he feels and he may think we have several kids like this already.

Whatever, who cares? He’s going to LSU, officially. As expected.

 

[Ziggy]

Louisiana kids are never gonna come here.

He 100% would have come here if Mario and staff visited him etc. He got the home offer so I don't blame him for flipping but we made it easy when we didn't contact him. Good luck Landon!

He was never coming here

He was never coming here

They never learn that Miami was a hotel room on the road until the house back in Louisiana was ready.

 

[FreeVilma]

Who's better: Ibieta or Restrepo?

 

[Canefam]

Meh.... no big deal with this one!

 

[Udynasty]

Good luck to the young man.

 

[dycane]

Louisiana kids are never gonna come here.

I remember when Tyson Jackson, LeRon Landry et al used Miami to party and everyone on grassy was sure they were coming

 

[skyman]

His tape looked better than the Tenn kid we got, will be interesting to follow how their careers go. Good luck to the kid

 

[Invalid Username]

Meh.

So 247 is giving him 4th star or nah lol clowns

 

[dycane]

His recent psychosis aside, Brian Kelly is no slouch when it comes to evals. He knows he can load up on elite WRs at LSU, so offering Ibieta is a pretty strong endorsement in my book.

He looked real good in 7v7 league
Seems like the kind of player Kelly liked at ND but more shifty.
