HE IS NOT EVEN A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL. This recruiting thing is completely out of control. Everyone, including the kid, needs to chill the f out.
Intredasting. So you're on a recruiting message board, posting in all-caps, but it's other people who need to 'chill the f out'?
Okay dude.
+1. This is the classic: do as I say, not as I do. The fact of the matter is the recruiting game starts prior to a kid's junior year in high school. If you don't have an eye towards 2-3 years down the road, odds are good coaches won't make it 2-3 years. Liking the rules is optional; playing by them is necessary; and these be the rules.
If the staff wanted to offer him this early, as they have other '14 kids, they would have done so already. Its not like he's any sort of secret to them, the exact opposite. They are obviously still on the fence about him. I'd rather see the staff wait to see a kid play the first game of his JR year if they are unsure then risk making a bunch of the four year recruiting mistakes that hurt programs.
If he has serious interest in Miami, and he does, the staff will have plenty of time to work their *** off and land him. There are those, including Peter on this very site, who have some reservations. We see it all the time. Kids get hyped and then fall off. To play devil's advocate, the kid has a nice PR machine behind him and plays 1A.
If we lose a kid we aren't sure about because he's upset he isn't offered as a HS underclassmen, so be it. Not sure that's the kind of kid we need. And again, I am not necessarily even saying this applies to Quincy. The staff certainly is aggressive about early offers when they see fit.
That said, don't interpret everything you read on the internet as gospel. Kids are kids, especially HS sophomores. They say tons of **** and then see a butterfly and switch their minds completely. When it gets real, it gets real. I's expect him to be a Cane, and if he's not, its because our staff who's income and families depend on their judgement make a year+long informed decision after fully evaluating him that its not whats best for the program. So like the man said... everyone chill out. This could be a whole lot of nothing. I want kids that are going to help us win. Not big names that won't sign for 2 year on an internet message board site. Here's wishing Quincy is both. Great Cane family, and I wish them the best all the way.
