Last Saturday, I got a tip that Bryce was coming to Miami and to expect a flood of misinformation. I was also told to stay on the sidelines and let the noise play out.

I say this to emphasize that Miami has been comfortable with this recruitment for weeks. While it may have seemed like a circus on the outside, everything has been clear between Bryce and the Canes. He is viewed as a big-time athlete and elite ballhawk that they needed to get in the building. They will figure out his position from there.

Did whoever asked you to "stay on the sidelines" call you into the game for this post?

Mario is a recruiting Shogun. I don't worry about noise related to any given recruit. Mario will win most battles and, more importantly, he'll win the war.

This time last year we were probably in the 20s with Gator and Noles fans laughing at Mario. We saw how that ended.

Now that we're currently 9th in the composite rankings, imagine how this recruiting class ends with a playoff run (hopefully combined with a Gator implosion). I think it's fair to say we have a legit shot to have back-to-back Top 5 classes.

Yea i didnt expect a columbus kid that was legit to not be a priority for Mario.

Start this kid at corner please...preferably let him learn that nickel spot.

Question for you, if he's known to not be a willing tackler or particularly excited about the violent aspect of football, why at nickel?

Wouldn't him learning field corner to start off at least be the best thing, until he gets bigger, starts to fill in and get big boy pants and then push him at nickel?

I haven't seen film or anything, but just asking about training growth.

Where is all of this “not a willing tackler” stuff coming from

DMoney and a couple others hinted to it months ago

Also, really no big hits on his highlights…Even as a centerfielder you expect him to have laid the boom at some point this season, and if he did it would almost certainly be on the tape, right?

Not a knock…I like the tape…playmaker

I just don't see him as a nickel…Whether you are going big nickel or small nickel, the one thing that's a constant trait for good nickels is tenacity…and making plays in flat or in the box (T.Couch although not a superstar by any means, actually did these things well, for instance)

I think he's either FS or CB.

I honestly couldn't believe it, lol. I ignore him, so only see his emoji reactions or get a "ignored member" flag if someone else quotes him.

It's not like I dislike Cway or Angry Ibis or McNaire. They're just always finding ways to crap on Mario and imply we're headed for doom no matter how good the news is. So of course, when a high value target commits to us, I compliment their commitment and say nice things about Mario, Cway has to face palm my post. It's clockwork.

I planned to un-ignore these guys on 9/1 if we beat the Gators. I expected they would stop being so negative. They promised they would if Mario started winning, no? But I do wonder if these guys are going to be the kind of fans that will throw shade at Mario and the program no matter what. We win the ACC but lose in the first round of the playoffs so we're losers. We're 15-1 but lose in the championship game so we're losers. We win the championship game but Guidry gets hired away so we will be losers. That type of bull****. Time will tell.
 
I see an elite Nickle and returner. I've been to a bunch of his games (both basketball and football) and he's an electric athlete. He's quicker than fast and his acceleration is ridiculous. That's a big reason why I think he'd be perfect for the slot where you have to be able to use short area quickness to cover in both directions.

Skeeter you may remember on shadow's old board,a few years back when Rayshawn Jenkins committed to Miami, Nole80 said he was a good athlete but lacked physicality or shield away from contact and he was supposedly coming in as a wr,then he was moved to safety here,was plenty physical and played in the NFL for years.This kid will do just fine here.
