Yes, Andrew Ivins predicted 100%, without a doubt... that Tyreak Sapp would commit to Miami. I don’t care that it was two years ago. Nothing is ever a 10 when it comes to a crystal ball because nothing is “certain” or “guaranteed” in recruiting.

I listened to his podcast today (you don’t have to be subscribed to listen to the podcasts. I would never pay money for that garbage). Anyway, at the end of the podcast, Ivins basically gave all of these excuses as to why he put in the crystal ball for Jason Marshall. He put a pretty good spin on it. Pretty funny actually.

What did he say?

No idea why they throw those in so early. He already has Stewart and Little Jr balled to LSU for next year like these SoFla kids don't change their mind every other week.

He said miami nor the player reached out to him to NOT put a CB in. That after the Manny tweet he reached out to his Miami sources. That people are usually ecstatic when he puts a CB in for the team and was kinda surprised by the push back. That it’s never a lock and more like a temperature check of the recruiting picture at the current time and then said when recruits go to contact other schools that they are committing somewhere else sometimes strange things happen. Gave the example of J. Dunn earlier this cycle about to commit to Oklahoma, he called Ohio State to inform them he was committing to Oklahoma and OSU said “wait, we have a spot with your name on it!” And how Dunn flipped right there.

It wasn’t “ GPA”.

I've tried to explain this to people before.

Classes...certain classes...are required. If not done by the end of the junior year, with a certain GPA (not overall GPA), then the kid has to take an academic redshirt.

SAT could also be a factor. But I'd put my cash down on TRANSCRIPT. Not enough of certain classes and/or the core classes are the ones that have had to be "retaken".

A lot of this should be told to every student. Only certain classes a student takes in HS even matter to a college. Most of the **** they take is nonsense fluff that no one cares about.

For a senior this year, they likely enter the school year without an SAT score. Not even a ****ty one. None. Also, when students get set up to clean up the transcript in the second semester of their junior year before the summer (online classes), COVID hit and students couldn't go back and clean up the classes they need to take.

Most schools will know the leaps they'll need to make with a student by this point.
