Man, I usually agree with your takes. I don't believe this is 100% on Mario. Sure, he got trolled and needs to take some of the blame, but most of this drama is on Cormani and his camp. They wanted the spotlight and Deion is still the flavor of the month right now. This was all for attention.
If his decision was truly a "football" related decision and not NIL, then he would have went to Bama, LSU, or even Miami. If he goes to Bama, he's going to learn under some great DB coaching and practice against outstanding receivers day in and day out. Same could be said going to LSU. If he goes to Miami, he's not facing as many pass happy offenses that he will face in the PAC 12.
Yes, he's an extremely talented db with skills like we haven't seen in a while from a recruit, so he might ball out anywhere he goes. Just doesn't make sense to me why he chose Colorado if he says his decision was for football reasons.
