247 player comparison for Patterson is Marcel Brooks a former 5* S converted to LB that was at LSU and now at TCU. Personally I think a good pro comparison for him would be Jamal Adams a safety that can also make an impact as a box defender!

He is dead set on playing S at the next level and can come in here and do that early with an immediate impact. We desperately need him in this class…

THATS A PRETTY GOOD COMP...Jamal Adams.

ZAQUAN LIKES TO MIX IT UP N HIT. HE ACTUALLY PLAYED DE FOR US IN YOUTH BALL AND WR. He also can flip to offense and be a div 1 wr honestly.

They would never admit it lol
 
if he doesn't commit here, I never want to hear the phrase miami likes where they are with x commit. the staff is getting smoked whenever we hear that phrase. its obvious kids are telling them what they wanna hear and doing other things int terms of decisions. being elite at recruiting matters less right now than having actual bags
 
Gaby and Lake got a little pushback on their comments regarding Patterson and Miami. The interview he gave ON3 was brought up. Gaby posted the following to clarify what they are saying:

"I don't think we're saying that Miami and Patterson don't have a great relationship I just feel like he hasn't ever spent that extended time around the program the way he has with others. I feel like most times he's been around has been late morning or afternoon arrivals and in and out in a few hours, spread out across the year. Miami didn't get an official visit or even a back-to-back unofficial visit where Patterson watched practice, film with the team prior, after, etc. the way others have. I think that's our main overall point. I do believe he likes Miami a lot and he has good relationships with people down here."

In an ideal FSU world that’s what happens. Not saying it will but I’d rather be the school with the commit approaching September than the one hoping for a flip.

id pay whatever it cost to get a kid to commit. idc. the end game is to win. you win by gaining talent. you get talent by any means necessary. a lot easier to hold onto a committed kid than to flip one

Sure. We just need some wealthy boosters with lots to lose who are willing to hand over bags of unreported cash and break the law at their own peril so we can have better players.

Any volunteers?
 
Interesting some program‘s NIL groups are paying up front. I don‘t doubt this, but wouldn’t this be a violation of paying a recruit attend a specific school? Unless committing is technically not the same. I suppose you couldn’t be guilty of paying a player to attend a specific school if in the end he never attended that school.

I’d love to see one of these agreements, or are these payments what ‘bags’ evolved into?

Going to take a stab here that is complete speculation and might rub some of you the wrong way, apologies in advance.

FSU either didn’t do this with Trader, or it was an amount not substantial enough to override his desire to commit to Miami. What that price is, I’m not sure. Now, Patterson has been alleged to be on the receiving end of a substantial pre-enrollment bag (from people on here, and elsewhere).

Miami’s whole push here with kids from the Ravens is to play together again and bring the U back, right? We were told securing commitments of kids like Ryan Mack, Shavers and Frédérique would prove essential stepping stones in securing the main prizes from that baller youth team: Patterson, Trader and Smith. While the aforementioned “stepping stone” recruits aren’t atrocious prospects in their own right, they’re verifiably projects and outside the top 600.

Maybe FSU is so confident they could put-bag us for Patterson or his interest in Miami isn’t as strong as we perceived, and use him to make a run at the true prizes of Ravens’s group. They can sell a future monster secondary with Lester and Bolden + a program on the rise, and by getting Patterson in the boat + already having a presence at Chaminade with Edwin Joseph, that they can convince Trader to think about flipping…if Patterson commits there, now Trader is torn and that’s when FSU comes with the bag. It’s strategic. If those two get in the fold, then the biggest bag of all is thrown at Smith. Now his two dogs are there and you can convince him to entertain a flip. There’s also the negative recruiting aspect of us sucking on the field last 20 years.
