2024 T.J Capers - LB

[moshated305]

Brandon Iness- South Florida 5 star- commits to Ohio State early never waivers recruits for them

Jeremiah Smith- South Florida 5 star commits to Ohio State early

TJ- Five star south florida player likely to choose Miami- makes Miami recruit him the entire cycle and hopefully commits on early signing day or thereabout.

Maybe winning cures this but it feel like this is a common situation for us. Reuben Bain - legacy brother on staff uncle on staff drags it out to almost signing day. We need these types of kids to sign on early and become class ambassadors to help us recruit nationally.

SoFla kids rarely stick to a year plus commitments. Innis committed to OU first and then picked Taint in the summer and he still flirted with Miami a little but Gattis happened. With the early signing period and OVs allowed summer is no longer all that early. I'd be surprised if Smith and Capers stick with their first commitments.

He would have gone to Oklahoma if Lincoln hadn't left.

Doubt it, Taint was still coming. If it was just about Riley, why not follow him to USC?

They’re about to send shockwaves thru cfb bc of a ‘24 South Florida kid committing a year before signing day….

FIFY!

 

[TheRichtShow]

Zero reason to doubt Mario on this one, regardless of who he commits to now.

It's a joke the AA Game is even doing this announcement, but very few good seniors wanted to wait to announce so this is the only way they could get a 5* announcement

 

[gacaneaddict]

Hova still has pull?

Or the bags?

I would be stunned if he signs with LVille if Mario really wants him.

A verbal commit a whole year ahead of your class’s NSD = Monopoly Money

 

[Brains]

Am I missing something about the alleged importance of a commitment one year in advance?

Puro humo.

 

[Carolinacane83]

Regardless of what happens today, TJ will be a CANE on ESD NEXT year

 

[BeastMode]

Pointless to even announce today for a 2024 kid

Love how everyone all of a sudden doesn't understand the importance of having 5 star recruit that signs early (if early is the year that they will sign)? But they want ambassadors at the same time. Stop spinning ****, you'd be happy if he said Miami today.

 

[Yoyo82]

I wouldn't want him to commit to Miami this early but I definitely don't like him committing to Louisville either.

I knew the mom the whole time....

If Riley stayed at OU thats where he was likely going.

USC was never in play as they are on the west coast and the family wasnt a fan of the travel, etc.

Gotta be real, I think you can be both. The fear, it's real as time has shown more often than not, if they verbal this early (this is real early even for next year) they'll switch it up and sign elsewhere later. If this was late spring or early summer, the odds are better.

One of the problems with early verbals is that everyone still keeps coming at you. They come hard and your early verbal school is focusing more attention on a lot of other recruits. You see so and so giving you more ear time and then you start questioning that early decision.

We've had on the field problems come fall and it's all comes together in a perfect storm against us.

Still, everyone would take him although not too worried if he says elsewhere. Show him between now and next December why we should be his pick.

I wouldn't be happy at all if a 5-star South FL kid gave a verbal to Miami in January when his NSD is a whole 11 months from now...

Yep if he commits this early it’s massive for recruiting momentum. He would be the perfect class ambassador.

 

[Canesfan_134]

With that said regardless of what happens today Mario will get this kid!

I would be happy no matter what time we got his commitment, recruiting is the one thing I trust Mario with.

If he was a National recruit, sure.

South FL 5-stars... Nah, all bets are always off.
