"They wanted me to play Corner, and thats my position"

Coaches are going to tell a player you're going to play this if they want to play that -
in recruiting you tell them whatever they want to hear and when you sign them you do what you want with them.
Recruiting is the courtship, signing is you're married.

We did this years ago with Darren Krein.

Kids use Miami for leverage. If there is one thing Manny should do different, it's that when it's clear kids are playing Miami, drop them. There is no "hold out hope" for a change of heart. Miami is 0 for 20, which means it's a 100% chance Miami is getting clowned. Fans might cry about "dropping" a 5 star, but in the long run it lets Miami focus on other kids, but more importantly helps Miami to avoid embarrassment. Now we have to read another dozen articles about how Miami was the "Biggest Loser" this recruiting cycle, which does not help our image with the 2020 and 2021 recruits.

I like what an OP said on another thread from now on the ones da staff know playing games tell them commit and shut it down now and move on if they don't.

I unfollowed both him and Bogle as soon as they committed.
That DB comment is BS. That kid could've been the long snapper here if he wanted to.

Wait - UM sells the expensive private school education. Implying your degree in Sports Enthusiasm is worth more if it's from UM.

My daddy always told me, "don't EVER leave any money on the table."

The major programs got the first Indoor Practice Facilities - guess what? We finally got ours because? Because everyone else in major football did/was doing it.

It costs a lot of money to send and keep a kid in college - not counting Tuition. Clothing - he's gotta have transportation - a little spending money for this and that.

So a family is offered an additional benefit - could be having the rent paid - could be a nice car that will last three or four years while in college - and will enable him to reliably and safely come home to visit -

Is a kid and his family supposed to turn down some help while the young man is in school?

The Alabama quarterback's family was MOVED to Alabama - got jobs - close to their son. How much did that cost? Since he's leading Alabama once again to a National Championship - not really that much.

And it's no single booster who has an angle to enrich himself who is helping the Alabama program. It's a lot of folks who together commit assistance to get the kid to play football for Alabama. Not some a-hole with an angle - and who's already crooked as can be!

You pool enough money each year to help get four or five players that you really need that happen to be five stars - by Year 3, you're on your way - unless you have an Administration and AD that are dead between the ears and can't understand basic economics.

Dummies that won't take care of their end - getting a great coaching staff and paying them to perform and stay.

But if you can find someone who came in cheap, UNDER SANCTIONS, and still managed to assemble the greatest college football team of all time, while doing so with a 31 scholarship reduction - how many times do you roll the dice with others who are UNPROVEN?

I like Manny, but Manny has a few lessons yet to be learned. I hope he learns them quickly, and without much pain.
 
The message should be clear.

"We're gonna offer you and play the game cause you're #1 on the board. But we're gonna go hard on #2, #3, #4 because we can win with them as well."

Fck this social media circle jerkin that Panda boy likes to play. Take the next best talented kid on the board and roll with it.

Fwiw More corners are drafted than safety’s. NFL teams carry more CB’s than safety’s. There’s less stress on the body at CB. If I had a choice, with the same success, of which position to play and be developed at... CB is the money. I personally think his body makes him a safety. He ballooned up to 215 for the army game. He doesn’t have true “elite” speed. He’s naturally going to be 6’1” 225 within a year with weight training and proper nutrition. He’s either going to be a good corner or a great safety. He’ll slide to safety like it or not, if he wants to see the field as a star. Banda was his lead recruiter. Banda coaches safety’s. They should have left some meat on the bone and told him “you’ll start at CB/Safety and we’ll see what you like and perform best at”. We didn’t and it’s another reason in a long line of many. Let’s keep discussing him and I’ll get a needle and prick myself... for fun 😖
