How soon do they take away his 5th star?

I dont think he is a 5 star talent but he is a great player to get. He is a 4 star talent that wont be a bust which to me is better than getting a high ceiling 5 star OL recruit if that makes sense.

If he's not a 5* talent then who is in your eyes? Either your talent evaluation is terrible, or just trolling

Man I am not going to argue about this I think he is a big time player. Each year there are like 1 or 2 5 star tackles a if you think he is one of those that's fine.

4 star 5 star doesn't matter. When the season is over he will be a 5 star and viewed as one of the elite tackles in the country. He is just coming into his own. Look at Flowers. He was an unknown until his senior season and he was a no-doubt 5 star tackle when he left, though recruiting services didn't jump him up where he belonged. He was flat out better than John The us.

The person who broke this commit (Josh Darrow) also broke the Yearby news. He works for WQAM, is a radio broadcaster for the Miami Hurricanes and has direct connections on the staff.

If he says it, bank on it.

Just an FYI...Josh is a real good friend of mine and he is always pretty cautious about these things. His source is standing by the commitment.

I don't like this. I don't like leaks from inside the program. We've had problems with leaks before. DJ Williams delayed his announcement due to leaks. I don't know if they've ever caused us to lose a recruit but don't want to try.



In addition, if somebody is leaking it to the media it is very likely a violation of NCAA rules, and could cost us a recruit. Coaches are not supposed to discuss "prospective student athletes" publicly and if they confide to a person in the press, and that person goes ahead and makes it public, it is probably the same as making public statements about a recruit.

In fact, this is from Article 13 of the NCAA Division 1 Manual:

13.10.2 Comments Before signing. Before the signing of a prospective student-athlete to a National
Letter of Intent or an institution’s written offer of admission and/or financial aid, a member institution may comment publicly only to the extent of confirming its recruitment of the prospective student-athlete. The institution may not comment generally about the prospective student-athlete’s ability or the contribution that the prospective student-athlete might make to the institution’s team; further, the institution is precluded from commenting in any manner as to the likelihood of the prospective student-athlete’s signing with that institution. [D] (Revised: 1/14/97)

The last thing we need now is new problems with the NCAA, especially over a leak of information over a highly coveted recruit. This is so stupid. This guy Darrow should keep his mouth shut if he cares about the program. He's selfish since he's taking stuff that might be coming from the athletic department and running with it to serve his own interests as a reporter.

Yeah, but if another recruit or one of the players says something then it's no violation. I'm sure one of the other players were excited and let it slip and the rumor spread.

You're probably right. I went back and looked at some more posts in the thread, and someone suggested one of the players might have let it out. I doubt that's a violation, since they are students, not staff members of the institution, and probably don't represent the institution for purposes of the rule.

I've just always been concerned about stupidly blundering into NCAA problems, and I've been that way for years. As I said in another thread, I'm old enough to remember that our upcoming penalties will be at least our fourth probation since I started following the program. You can talk all you want about how rotten the NCAA is, and how they've screwed up in this investigation, I don't want trouble, and I wouldn't want to see a top recruit disqualified from attending UM over something stupid. We did have issues with leaks from the staff in years past. There were assistants and others who would talk.

I hope this is true because it's fantastic news. I looked at some of the one-on-one drills of Darling, and the guy's a beast. Putting together this guy and the younger Linder is a great start on OL.

To be fair, John Theus started all 14 games at right tackle for Georgia right out of the gate. Theus was a really good recruit in his own right...both he and Flowers were 5-stars, IMO. I liked Flowers more, and still think he has future first round ability. I think the 'Canes would be smart by starting Flowers, kicking Bunche to the inside (and use him as swing tackle as well)...time for Ereck Flowers to fly.

This is from the Kc McDermott article.

Because college-affiliated personnel cannot discuss recruits, neither of McDermott's brothers could comment for this story.

Apparently none of our current players can talk about recruits. So it has to have been another recruit.
 
Well, it wasn't Linder, because he didn't even know it happened, he told him to do it and thats as far as he knew it went until some guy informed him...who else was there today besides sony?
