True - but he has made an effort to visit his other top schools. But he hasn't been here. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence, right?

I wouldn't say that.

It's not easy to travel from Louisiana to Miami during a pandemic. Probably even harder to convince your mom to let you go when she is a doctor.

This is not directed at you, just at our fanbase generally. Why does anyone need "confidence"? Why does anyone need to "protect their emotions". Root for this kid to pick Miami. Don't build your whole life around it, but there's a lot of room between "Maason Smith is a Miami lock" and "Maason Smith is never coming to Miami".

He has Miami in his Final Four. He has said some very nice things about Miami. I do not believe he has given Miami fans any false hope.

Just enjoy the rest of the recruiting cycle. If he picks Miami, we can all be overjoyed. But there's no reason for the Mope Squad to come out in full force to ****e on our hopes.

I don't care if we are ultimately let down by Maason Smith picking an SEC school. My confidence level was not high. My hope level is moderate and realistic. If Miami keeps winning games, we are going to start winning a few of these recruiting battles, but until then, let's maintain a glimmer of hope that a talented kid with a good mom and a decent academic background (and a not-so-bad economic background) might have the clarity to bypass the local bag schools, and pick the best schematic fit for his football abilities.
 
LSU is pretty much a dumpster fire right now. In addition to all the "opt outs" early in the season, it is looking like they will lose a number of their highly ranked younger guys in the near future. Arik Gilbert is already back in Georgia and word is he is "opting out" but expected to hit the portal. Rumor is linebackers Antoine Sampah, Josh White and Phillip Webb are right behind him.

Gilbert could end up at UGA - that's the strongest rumor right now. Bama is another possibility

Despite the pressure to stay home, it's hard to imagine Maason Smith wanting to commit to LSU. More than likely there will be some defensive coaches let go at season's end.

We'll see. There's alot of positives at Miami for Smith, coaching stability not the least of them. Hopefully $$ won't be the deciding factor here....

Sampahs film was great and I know we looked prime for him

I hope the NCAA provides relief of at least a few ICs... Sampah, portal DE and Portal CB would be great

Money is always a factor with these type of monsters. This dude is probably a top 5 pick in three years.

LSU is toxic right now, and the punishments for the sexual assault haven’t even been placed yet. I don’t think anybody knows where he is going but if they make more staff changes that has to help us.

Some of there young cats aren't living up to the hype. Stingley will opt out for next year. Kardell Thomas has been there 2 years now and has zero significant snaps.. I'm telling everyone this is gonna get interesting. I doubt we get him though, but I like to see LSU sweat. They shouldn't win **** for another 10 or so years.
