Not defending Rumph, I’m actually not too convinced about him as a coach. I think our DBs has some technique lapses but anyway...
I also don’t know the in and outs of recruiting (as most on here). We just read, see social media posts and on NSD we talk about how great our commits are and how bad the misses are.
At the end of the day we talk about men trying to convince kids to attend the school they work for. Kids that are treated like kings for at least 2 years by every one in their school, local media, social media and college coaches all over the US. What everyone knows is that bags are real and these kids (especially high price recruits) get bought sometimes.
Let’s summarize TC: Rumph is his mentor and brought him to AH. Apparently wears 8 because of him, hometown school, favorite for a while.. all of a sudden we seem to be
#3 or
#4 on his list and MIGHT not even get an official. Guys... I’m not sure this has anything to do with Rumph as a recruiter. And I do understand why he’s an easy target here.
Maybe he wants to get away from Miami. Maybe someone paid him or his family (which Is only a speculation and no one can be certain), but this does just not seem like a case where someone outrecruited us... there most be more we don’t know...
Let’s wait and see what happens. He might visit and sign and Rumph will be a hero, like he was after Michael Jackson came on the scene out of nowhere.
