Patrick Payton

[millertime26]

Staff must feel good about someone else if the let Payton go to FSU. I know Cribby has been saying we will get a high level portal kid. Just waiting on him to hit the portal.

 

[CT Cane 44]

5 star lb from USCw just entered the portal. Played at Gorman

I’ll take it.

It’s nice to not totally worry about recruiting with this staff. Payton committed to FSU ( i feel bad for him) we must have players we like better. I know people laugh at the watch the finish stuff but i’m encouraged

Guys if you think he’d rather go to Tallahassee than Miami please get your eyes checked.

We DO NOT have room for him right now. Otherwise he’d have committed here.

I wonder about his offer list if he's committing to Forfeit State University.

That's an absolute disaster of a programme right now. Looking at his offer sheet, assuming they're hard offers, there's about 5 places I'd go before FSU.

 

[aelmiami]

Seems like he’d prefer to stay in state. Not sure what other draw FSU has at this point. You’d also have to believe he’d flip Miami in a heartbeat. Hopefully he doesn’t sign in December and sees what’s available after that.

 

[canenok]

Webster's definition of idiot....

Well I wouldn’t go that far, but he could’ve committed to fsu at any time and just held out for the better offer. Their class sucks and they would’ve accepted his commitment at anytime. Really no reason to rush unless he’s hoping to Goad Miami into an offer by choosing the dumpster fire rival?

 

[TriStarCane]

Might as well jump into a flaming dumpster. It's the same result

First Nebraska then FSU? Of all the major schools, those two might be the most questionable right now in all the NCAA under the circumstances.

if miami had an idea on what the IC count im sure hed be a take. right now, w limited numbers he just duplicates what we brought in with ishmael. it sucks bc id love to add him, but we have an elite DE field next year too

Dad is an FSU fan. Don't think he'd force his kid to go there or anything but I'm sure it makes him more open to it than most.

 

[grover]

I would have taken him, even with one of the 4 counters left. Would have rolled the dice that more portal counters will be added later. ... Hope he doesn't sign early, so we can still take him in Feb if the NCAA does lift the caps.

 

[TexasCane90]

Davis might play LB. He's playing MLB in hs right now right?

Playing DE right now in the playoffs

and @Cribby if I remember right says the staff views him as a DE take

 

[CFLCane]

Really liked the kid but he was a late riser and the boat is too crowded now. Wish they would hurry up with the IC fix.

 

[tsimonitis]

Commitments are less than binding these days

Oh okay. I know for sure he started the season as mlb

He played inspired against us... something I wish our players did as well.

I always liked this kid and I was banging the table for him to come here but we didn’t push
