How's this for a scenario, what if Al Golden, Mike Barrow, Mark D'Onofrio, Mario Cristobal, Duke, and Deon took 6 and his mom out to dinner on a Thursday Night, by himself and they talked at Dinner for about 3 or 4 hours? Would you want him to OV with the recruits this weekend, or the scenario I provided?
Somebody let me know if this is legal by NCAA standards.

and? that's four OV his gets five so he could still OV to UM midweek. Also Ice makes it sound like the UGA visit is off so that weekend could be open.

I have seen this act many times. He ain't comin'.
I see Pete staying out of this thread as a bad sign.

naw, Pete will man up if he's wrong; he has in the past anyways. Pete is probably looking for info or confirmations, etc. before weighing in

He said he couldn't get a hold of Matthew Thomas.
then he'll probably hold off on saying anything until he can. I know Pete's trying to be a journalist here instead of a fan. I'll wait to hear what he has to say

Interesting thread. Here's my thoughts on this thread and the issue at hand:
In this thread I see people whose opinions I respect w/r/t recruiting saying they are concerned. As am I. Matthew Thomas should take an OV to Miami but more importantly, he should be taking one THIS WEEKEND.
Kids who dont take an OV DO NOT COMMIT to that school. THAT is the rule. Yes, you can find a Jawand Blue, who was a plan C kid for coach Golden that ended up getting an offer extended to him the night before signing day and switched his commitment from Va Tech. Again, that is an exception.
Tracy Howard: Perfect example - TH said all along that he did not need to take an OV to UM because he knew the school and knew the area. Coach Golden was able to educate him as to why he was not making an apples to apples comparison. It was when TH took his OV that he really changed his mind. If you want proof, look at Tracy's mom's facebook posts about what it was like to have a one on one meeting (& photo sesh) with Donna Shalala. His (rather hot lookingmom was blown away by the FORMAL EXPERIENCE of an OV. To not grant UM the ability to provide an apples to apples comparison is to limit your knowledge of each school.
The importance of the last major recruiting weekend: Every program brings in their heavy hitter recruits and commits on their last major recruiting weekend. Coach Golden has that set up for this weekend. This is the weekend where a top recruit can get the best feel for who he will room with, play with, study with and train with over the next four years. For MT to skip this weekend is an extremely negative development in my opinion.
FWIW
Boom
