QB decision

[CT Cane 44]

If Ward goes to FSU there won’t be an announcement from Ward. Points to Howard. If you miss on Ward and he goes to FSU that’s a double kick in the nuts. Ward makes Miami a contender for the playoff.

I just don't see this thing happening with Ward. He's visiting FSU Thurday thru Saturday.and says he may take a 3rd visit.

If you wait on Ward, you could lose out on Howard and wind up with your 3rd or 4th option.

Patience

I trust but him leaving town without a commitment leaves the door open

 

[RightSaidFred]

That and a few pages back he said patience lol

Yeah, generally good life advice.

 

[sandimas0912]

people/circumstances are different. I understand you're preaching poise and agree 100%, but the two situations aren't comparable.

Waiting for Cohen might not have had the same consequences as waiting for Ward.

There's no panic in sticking with the pre-visit plan of taking the first commitment from either tier 1 QB.

This implies that anyone involved was "waiting" in either situation. When Cohen gave that quote to Gaby he was already committed, and the staff knew so. There was no actual "waiting" aside from amongst the public, who don't matter. I'd be surprised if that's not the situation here, regardless of which QB we're moving forward with.

I hope this is next level trolling by Mario. He wants to use Ward to infiltrate and lead on FSU and others. Make them overpay for other options or miss out on other opportunities.

All we need is just a little patience

I was under the impression the visits are 24 hours that and they have DJ U there for a visit starting Friday.

He’s using tactics from his Secret Service days

A decision being made and us knowing about it are two different things, whether it’s Howard or Ward. D$ said it might not get announced today. Either would be a major upgrade

Occam's razor doesn't say what it think you says in this case because you're ignoring information that doesn't agree with your conclusion and giving absolute, 100% uncritical weight to one single piece of information. FWIW - I've observed @Cribby being correct far more often than I've observed recruits telling the truth to the press about their recruitment.

And "if someone tells you who they are, believe them" just doesn't apply here because you're not a stakeholder in the decision making process. If the kid told Mario or his parents or someone actually involved, then sure. But like me, you're external to what's actually happening, and so you need to view his statements with a more critical eye than you are. Remember, we're the product here - if he does commit here he'll presumably want to monetize his commitment, both initially and long-term. One way to do that is to create suspense behind it.

Yes, so have I. But Cribby never said we were getting Cam Ward. People are putting words in his mouth.

I also never said that I know what's going to happen with Cam Ward and Miami, I just said that it's more reasonable to believe Ward's own words vs some brand new insider (the josh poster, not cribby) who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a booster. They don't call this "insider season" for nothing, and I don't trust someone who has no track record.

Let's hope you're right and Ward commits in the next day or two. Would be great for this program.

I expect a decision today. I am told no decision has been made yet. Stay locked to CanesInSight.

Just text me.

 

[thegrimreefer]

reminiscent of KD to the Heat, or Giannis to the Heat, or Beal and Lillard to the Heat. Only to have Strus, Martin and Gabe Vincent (who all went on to have success of course). Hopefully Mario is a better whale hunter than Pat Riley last few years.

 

[Canezum5]

Unless you’re under center trying to sneak for a yard, Ward is much better.

Ironically. I think Ward has more 1 yrd sneaks than Howard.

 

[CaneThang2020]

Whoever has the most years of eligibility….if both are your top options - make it simple. And I believe that’s Ward iirc

 

[Problem2]

Also to be fair, Cribby never said it was Ward that we got

We just assumed

 

[Tempest]

If Ward is indeed going to visit other schools, it’s far from a done deal. No matter what he told Mario.

 

[EudocimusAlbus]

SSSSSS

We're going to be good either way.

 

[canes614]

If miami and cristobal are about their cash you get an answer today or tomorrow. If not pivot to Howard

Exactly....if Ward visits FSU they will sell what Travis did this season.....better not let him leave without a commitment or it's over imo....
