Todo esto. Whatever people do know, and it's probably legit that they've heard, is a bunch of rumblings. That's not a shot at anyone in particular. It's a reality of recruiting. It's more of a message for the guys on here who haven't been through this before. Just let things play out.

I guarantee there was some shady stuff going on UM caught wind off.

In the end, we'll be fine. In fact, Coley & Cristobal had their hands in this epic turn of events.

Just to give a timeline (and people can say its revisionist, but whatever), this is the info I have.

On Monday, I got a tip that Thomas was leaning towards getting out if Miami and that this might lead to dropping Kirkland. I was skeptical, but the source is pretty impeccable. Then the Kirkland news drops yesterday. Cash is $, so his news about a meeting makes perfect sense. But we also had our in-home last night, and a UM source I spoke to at 11 pm was confident on Thomas.

Bottom line? Welcome to recruiting. I will say this: if Thomas leaves, he was never going to stay. We could not have done more.

I cannot remember a kid we recruited harder than Thomas. We showed up to all his games, recruited Momma, and even had Sebastian wear #6 at the Duke basketball game.

This. Golden and Staff are one of the BEST recruiting staffs in the nation. It's not Goldens fault Miami was/is a step behind some of these programs when it comes to "resources" available. Miami doesn't have BAMA, FSU, LSU, Sec, UT, etc.... Resources. It's going to come down to winning and showing these top kids you can put players in the league on a consistent basis.

I never thought that I'd be able to say this, but I have no doubt in my mind that this NSD is going to surpass the infamous Willie Williams 04 NSD. At this point, no matter what anyone says about Thomas (and the rest of the undecided recruits) I'm not going to believe it. Tell me he's headed elsewhere, and I'm still going to have hope. Tell me he's a lock, and I'm going to be hesitant. I literally haven't felt like this since 04. This SUCKS. lol

MT and DK are best or close friends right?

Actually no. Several people have said they aren't really friends. Not everybody on a team are boys.

**** who knows, maybe DK was talking up the idea of hitching his wagon to MT too much (going to the same school), and 6 got sick of it cuz he's a solo kind of guy. I just wrote it on the interwebz so it must be true.

So, it's NO but then he meets with our coaches and its maybe YES, but between now and then, maybe he wakes up on the left side of his bed and feels like maybe he should go to FSU and tag half of FAMU, but then on signing day, maybe he realizes he's going to miss his family and rather stay here, blah blah blah.

These kids are morons, and their minds change every friggin day because of that -- irrational actors don't adhere to strict principles or logic or to a set of calculations. So, unless a kid publicly commits to us, or tweets a picture of a recently-added "U" tattoo, I'm going to wait and see what the fax machine reveals on NSD. Yea, I'll follow and listen like everyone else, but people shouldn't be overreacting to anything coming from an insider, because that information usually reflects subjective perceptions of highly fluid situations.

Over/under how many times the info swings from here to singing day?
