    Paying kids or doing whatever it takes for them to extend their visits to avoid going to other schools is nothing new

    we definitely weren't ready/wanting Williams to commit until we had Lenhardts decision. which is nothing against him as a player as we suck at everything, I personally think he has the highest ceiling between the 3 and would take him over Lenhardt in a minute.

    Cribby is a legit source but

    he has a very weird e persona where he gets offended any time someone doesn’t give him proper credit for breaking info and loves to post how he’s always ahead of the recruiting writers with info even though he claims he’s not looking for props

    I think he’s tied to the Cooney bros because he was months ahead on the Tyrique transfer and Leonard Taylor commit

    I’m surprised he still gets fed info because he’s a known quantity now

    Just a few weeks ago the same coach who doesn’t care about rival schools tweeted out a comment about Miami coaches are here to work and not to show off lambos as a shot at Billy Buttholes. But sure, Miami coaches are built different, don’t pay for commits and don’t recruit off lists!

    PS - then then Finnish kid ripped on Mario for trying to sell him on lambos instead of championships as he committed to Bama.

    At least we get to keep the higher rated of the two TE commits (until he flips to Auburn or wherever else).

    Our coaches are being dumbasses but they actually werent going to take this kid. He might have flipped to Auburn anyway, but this was a really weird recruitment where I don’t think we ever actually took his commitment despite him posting it.

    None of the coaches acknowledged it on Twitter like they normally do.

    A person can be plugged in with the current coaches but that doesn’t mean he knows what happening at other schools or is being fed accurate info about other schools.

    He lives in Gainesville, he’s not plugged in with the actual UM coaching staff, he’s plugged in with the handlers, 7on7 teams and HS coaches all over FL, which is why he knows what’s going on at other schools. He knew when FL kids weren’t coming to UM and Manny’s dumb staff thought they were silent commits. He usually doesn’t have any useful info on OOS kids

    From posters claiming to have sources, Jaden Robinson flipping is imminent. The actual insiders said he’s still firm. My guess is the 247 people are being fed inaccurate info from SCar coaches.

    No one is talking much about pup so idk.

    The Upshaw shit is weird.

    Also just so we’re clear, Fla could flip all those dudes and the “none of the other big schools in the area wanted” portion of the post would still be accurate

    It must be nice to be a school in a state with lots of in state talent built in, I just looked at the 247 and it’s wild what Alabama, Florida, and Texas have in state

    Chicago and Western PA’s dramatic and seemingly irreversible decline in hs football talent has crippled us midwestern schools. Ohio is way down also but Indiana improving a lot has slightly evened that out

    Edit my post but too late:

    My guess on Robinson is that the 247 staff insiders are getting their info from SCar coaches and maybe Jaden. I would think Jaden is obviously down playing things as he doesn’t want to upset SCar coaches and media. I obviously have no idea if a flip is imminent, but I sense it’s inevitable unless SCar figures out another angle to recruit him or ups the NIL bag.

    Our side understood Fla offering would be a huge deal if they did, but they’re downplaying it now that y’all have.

    my guess is SCar 247 staff will feel good all the way up until a few hours before he officially flips. They always seem to ignore the tea leaves from info coming from other camps.

    If memory serves, we offered the day before he was scheduled to (and did) commit to y’all. Not great timing, but I think most people feel good about him joining our class sooner than later.

    We will be reclaiming our stronghold on Seminole HS. Definitely can't let a 6'3 WR from that school go anywhere else after Gabe Davis.
