I don't have any issue with Golden and the staff here. They asked him privately to commit. He could wait publicly but the staff didn't want to be left waiting at the altar if this kid picked another school. So they asked him privately to commit. When he said he would not the staff said they were moving on. I think it's a smart play by Golden and co. Waiting until signing day and ending up with nothing is exactly what got the previous two coaches fired.
I have an issue with it. Unless they had hard evidence the kid was going to ***** them over, you let a top 10 tackle at a feeder school who is tied at the hip with MT have until NSD to make a decision.
This is a PR nightmare.
It's a PR nightmare because due to NCAA regulation the staff cannot comment on the situation so you only get to hear one side of the story. If going to UM was so important to Harris and Kirkland then just PRIVATELY commit. You can still wait until signing day to play the hat game and have your fun. THE KID WAS NOT GOING TO SIGN WITH UM OR ELSE HE WOULD HAVE PRIVATELY COMMITTED.
If he was a silent, why didn't he just tell Barrow that he was coming?
Shenanigans man
Funny thing is Kirkland himself talked about letting the coaches know by Feb 1 after his OV....so that's BS.
From what this says, it does sound like the staffs fault, they should've let him know about the deadline earliwr
Joe Rose is pushing for a reconciliation. I wonder if the ship has completely sailed.

Nothing here makes sense, yesterday was January 31st or 6 days till NSD. Are people telling me that the kid couldn't commit to a school 6 days before NSD?
If a kid wants to go to Miami, but cannot commit 6 days before NSD, then does he really "want" to go to Miami. Is something else going on?
