Stevenson Tears.... Of Joy????

One day you guys will learn that these recruitments that go down to the 11th hour have very little chance of ending in Miami’s favor. And we know the reasons why.

You think Tyrique Stevenson is still confused where he wants to go? Really? If all things were equal, you think he wants to be in Athens over home? This really isn’t that hard, fellas. This kid basically lives on campus. He’s at practice every week. He’s a hometown kid. He’s tight with half the team. Yet, he’s confused where he wants to be? Not a chance. The “confusion” stems from one thing. His heart vs his momma’s purse. Period.

I said the same things in the Haselwood threads. The only high profile kids that Miami gets and will get, generally speaking (there’s an occasional exception) are the Brevin Jordan’s and Mark Pope’s who end their recruitments early because there’s not as much pressure from the parents to play the bag game. Once we get this deep into this, the pressure from the adults usually becomes too much to ignore. Tyrique is incredibly close to his mom. She’s his entire parental structure. When she comes and sits on his bed and says, “Son, I know you want to go to Miami. And I’d love to have you here. But that nice man at UGA told us that all of our problems are solved if you go there. All of this is gone. This house is gone, we’ll have food and clothes and I won’t have to live paycheck to paycheck. Our problems are solved, son. And you can still reach all your dreams there. They’ll prepare you for the nfl just like Miami will. But I won’t still have to wonder how I’m going to put food on our table. You’ll help our family solve all its problems, won’t you son?”

Yeah. That’s hard to beat. He gone, just like almost all the kids in this situation are. Bogle is the same way. We might get lucky and land one of these kids one of these years. Hopefully this year. But knowing how this game is played, over time Miami will lose FAR more of these than they’ll win. It is what it is. You just can’t compete with an adult who is a kid’s whole world telling that kid he can solve all his mama’s problems just by signing a certain piece of paper.

No offense, but I doubt you’ve been starving much in your life. I truly hope you have not. But if you have, you’d not have posted what you did.

Doesn't have anything to do with the post. Point is if Tunsil didn't get paid earlier, he would have got paid more later. Just reiterating what was shown in another thread, and saying the vid can be used as a counter argument for people to do things legally. Is 8 million not life changing money?

8 million in a few years is irrelevant when the present options are $400k and a house or Ramen noodles.

As I’ve said, you’ve never starved at night. If you’d have, you’d understand Tyrique’s situations and a lot like him. No disrespect, but you’re posting as what I will assume is an adult who is able to make ends meet. If you could put yourself in a different situation in which you were living paycheck to paycheck and often times even worse than that, you’d understand that hundreds of thousands now trumps any and all future hypotheticals.

You don't know me, and we can agree to disagree and leave it at that. Patience is a part of life and all I'm saying and I'm living it out in my own life is sometimes you have to sacrifice and keep things the way they are for a little while longer so that bigger things can come to fruition than just what you can see in front of you. At the end of the day I hope he is a Cane and he makes his money.

Lol, I was always the outlet because Pete Always said he was the plug, so I was kind of mocking him with his bad info on Lucas.

I saw this photo on twitter and couldn’t pass it up, I’m still getting used to it, it’s kind of loud

You painted a very sentimental picture to the board that would make them feel way better about Tyrique if we do not land him. Hate to tell you but the hallmark moment is not how all recruiting goes and doing a lot of assuming saying Stevenson’s situation is like this.

You don’t think Miami is offering anything to Stevenson? Greed plays a part in these situations as well and some are going to take the biggest bag or try and make the biggest bag possible till they sign on the dotted line. You don’t think that Stevenson/ and mom could possibly be playing Miami to get a bigger bag from Georgia?

As much as your theory makes sense what if cooney(who knows a lot of south Florida kids and family) plays the bag school by making it look like there is Miami interest when it is really about going to the highest bidder. Think Brooklyn made a comment about not particularly liking cooney recently.

If Tyrique loves Miami as much as he makes it seem to the public he wouldn’t play us like this(would use another school to drive up the bags). I think it is two fold our staff is soft so it is easy to play them and make them think you are coming plus hometown is the only thing that can make a bag school feel uncomfortable.

I hope we are both wrong and Stevenson truly love this city and university but won’t know till Jan 5th. But once again if you don’t think Miami has something on the table bad wise for Stevenson your as naive as it gets.

My 2 cents, Miami isn’t all fairy tales and choir boys when it comes to recruiting players but we aren’t even in the same ballpark as to what SEC schools or schools with networks can offer.

We can make kids comfortable during their 4 years at Miami, the SEC can make the whole family comfortable during that kid's four years in college.

Agree 100 percent. We are not even close to on the level of the SEC bagman and that is where that word GREED comes into play. At that point it’s not about helping mom because both schools can help mom is is about pimping out your child to the highest bigger. The OP was very PG when this is a rated R movie. This wouldn’t happen to us so often if our staff was not so soft. And when I say soft they seem like good guys but good guys finish last in college football.

I do know Banda gets fired up and can be very straight forward but this usually happens once the kid decides to not come to Miami. Jobe for example, Banda flew to Conn. to confront him and make him tell him face to face he wasn’t coming
 
Also knowing we can’t always compete with these kids out of HS as fans and obviously our coaches we need to be open to accepting them into the program when they decide to transfer and miss home. We can’t be stubborn in this regard, with the new transfer rules we need to be open minded

Yeah richt can’t be on none of that “no they can’t come here” like he did with trevon grimes but then trot out Lawrence Cager to keep dropping passes and missing blocks.

Yep, and it seems he’s been open to transfers more this past year than in the past couple, but so far none of these transfers had really been recruited to Miami, so until someone who we finished 2nd or 3rd to is allowed to transfer I’m not buying it.

Didn’t know this about Banda but that is how it should be. If a kid says he is committed to you but is wearing Alabama gloves every game call his *** out. Our fans have seen it for 3 years Chris Henderson(I give the staff the benefit of the doubt on this one), jobe, then Lakeland kids this year. How can all of us know your getting played and you don’t? We need better intuition or bigger balls on this staff but somehow we keep promoting guys who have never coached college football.

Trevon grimes shouldn't be allowed to step foot on campus no way no how. AR82 would have been getting Cager's reps. Richt wrong abt a lot but this aint one thing I fault him for.
