Will you guys feel better if the entire Surtain family drives all night all the way to campus and comes on his OV this weekend?
I would :love_heart: that.

I literally have never consider Surtain a real option for UM. If we get him I will be over the moon and it will be the biggest surprise maybe ever in my 30 years following the Canes. But if not I never invested any of my heart into so who cares?
After giving it plenty of thought, it is becoming more and more certain that Surtain and company end up here.
It all starts with Surtain Sr.
The way I see it, Surtain Sr. does not want to see his son go anywhere if you saw how choked up he was after their championship game. He may have been ok with the thought of him going before (to LSU obviously), but to me, I believe that has changed. I think staying close to home has become a factor for the Surtain family.
Next, recruiting wisdom says "watch the visits". I haven't seen anywhere that the Surtain family went to any LSU games or unofficial visits this past season, while Surtain Sr. and his wife have been to the Rock twice. Surtain Jr. once to the Notre Dame game, which was rocking. This tells me that they're not "head over hills" for LSU anymore.
Also, I think that Rumph is a bigger factor in this equation than most realize. Rumph and Surtain are tight, and if two people are tight, than that means there is trust there. I know Surtain Sr. wants his son coached by the best, and Corey Raymond is one of the best in the business, but I think Rumph has shown Surtain Sr. that he can trust him with his boy.
Lastly, it's apparent that all four AH boys want to stick together, which is why all four will take that official visit together to Miami.
So to bring it all home, it's obvious that with Surtain, it's a Miami vs LSU for his services right now. There is nothing pointing to OSU, FSU or even Bama being in play for him. At this point, outside of the rest of the Surtain family residing in New Orleans, I don't see what other advantage LSU would have with Surtain. They also can't play "bag games" with the Surtain's because they got money already.
If you look at all of the mentioned factors, it's a mathematical certainty that Miami lands Surtain, thus landing the rest as they would surely want to stick together.
Why do you think it's Miami vs LSU? Did something happen with Alabama?
I don't think LSU is in the picture. However, the fact that the whole Surtain family went on the OV to Bama has me worried. You don't bring your whole family on an OV anywhere unless you're seriously considering the school which is why I think LSU is out. I don't want to burst everyone's bubble, but it's hard to get over the OV photo of the whole family including Grandma.
If he takes an OV to Miami, I'll feel better about the situation.

Yea, but Pops is repping Adidas.

U noticed that too?
Where is LSU? Are they out now? Haven’t heard much from them.

Rumor is they don’t trust coach O.
From what I have seen, Bama is still confident that they land him. At this point I think it’s obvious he is visiting and has always been predicted. That doesn’t change where Bama thinks they stand with him. Richt and staff needs to close him AND Tyson. No excuses!
Soooo hearing that Bama's DB coach will go in-home with PS2 on Thursday.
You have to believe that Saban is WORRIED about Miami at this point and will try to run one last interference to stop this OV from happening.
Richt has to find a way to checkmate this situation tomorrow night.
