‘23 FL OT Francis Mauigoa (Miami commit)

[cobbwebb0710]

The Samoan culture connection he has with Nico likely puts us over the edge.

It certainly helps and I hope you’re right.
GBO!!

AP might have 4 commitment videos, he's also going on vacation the next 8 days

Praying they are Mauigoa, Seldon, Conyers and Echols

Don’t forget Jalen Smith

So he’s going to post them while he’s on vacation?

It was a vacation he had already planned to American Samoa.

A very common vacation spot for Tennesseans right?

Francis and Nico being buddy buddy on IG.

Francis also reposted a bunch of Florida stuff. He has compassion for the poor and downtrodden.

Nothing to see here.

For sure but he’s not in the next 8 days which is why I stopped at Seldon.

I was referring to Callahan saying he’d take the over on 4.5 before July 11

Feels like basically a complete toss-up between Tennessee and Miami right now. I think there’s some cautious optimism on the Vols’ end, but nobody knows anything right now and the Hurricanes are a serious threat.

I don’t think we’ll know too much more for another day or two, but we’ll keep digging to see what we can find out. I could legitimately see that one going either way right now.

Would suck to lose this one.

i just feel like the nico & family connection wins this one out. if he does choose miami, i doubt we’ll stop recruiting him until the end.

Oh boy didn’t see that!

I need the NCAA for once to actually do their job and tell John Ruiz to go away. I hate that guy.

Nico’s Papaw needs to get on the Jet out to Hawaii STAT!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Please don't be another Tate situation where we are just a stepping-stone to get the biggest bag possible.

They have their eye on him otherwise he wouldn’t have made his recent statement about Rashada. He is trying to act like he isn’t slanging money recklessly. Before he would brag to everyone publicly what he was doing

he on it

It doesn’t seem like it’s a biggest bag with him. I think all teams “met the threshold” for NIL. I think it’s gonna be development and relationships. Hopefully he buys our development plan.

its one thing to have an NIL collective that fans can donate to, its another to have 1 booster just paying everyone.

If this is really about relationships, I find it hard to believe he would choose Miami over us, considering they were barely in the picture the last few weeks and it was a USC/TENN/BAMA fight until two days ago. This definitely feels like another scenario of John Ruiz coming in slinging phat bags of cash.

I could be wrong but I think Cristobal was recruiting him to Oregon before and he brought most of his staff to Miami so the familiarity remained. Hopefully his relationships here (at UT) win out.

Hoping for the best on this one. Will worry about Miami until I see a “boom!” from someone on here or see AP post it on Twitter.

 

[Volfan39]

I don't know why but I feel good about this one. This one seems truly different than the Carnell situation. I could be wrong, but I don't think he's the kid that puts NIL first though.

 

[Ericvol2096]

We just gotta hope that Saturday we don’t start seeing any CBs start dropping for Miami or Simmons prediction flip or confidence. Everyone says Miami is a threat but that TN is in a good spot still.
