‘23 FL OT Francis Mauigoa (Miami commit)

[volbeast33]

Use your brain. He’s getting plenty of money from UT. If he would rather play at Miami for a little more then let him walk. Better situation here but if chasing only the bag, it’s getting where it’s just not what we grown accustomed to loving. I am all for them earning money for name and likeness but the bidding war has nothing to do with that.

During the 90’s we were throwing around the biggest bag….It just wasn’t out in the open.

Still throwing big bags and we didn’t get all of them either. Now is a totally different level.

The goal of recruiting mods is to get subscriptions and clicks. Sometimes they have solid info and sometimes they do not. From all indications we have done a good job with FM and his family. He has to make his decision and live with his decision.

True but why this kind of stuff doesn’t bother me…. Worry about the ones we get and not about the ones we don’t.

In other words, college football is dead and it’s turned into the NFL.

It is dead for the middle class. It is a rich man’s game now. It is all about luxury boxes, donations, and who can buy the best players. Quickly becoming a product not worth watching like the NFL.

 

[Joe Dirt]

Are you sure it wasn’t OT Terron Armstead?

Yep. Arik Armstead lol

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Miami boards saying Bama is in the mix

This. The machine has its throat on the worker. I blame Invol.

I wish they would say why they feel better. I also wish hubbs would say why he doesn’t feel as confident. Are there actual reasons for any of it?

I mean, it is a pretty cryptic quote. I just can't worry about stuff like that.

I just can’t imagine FM and the family has done all this research and we’re 50ish hours from an announcement and we’re to believe he doesn’t know where he is going and new teams that were once thought out of it are now back in.

Feels like media driving clicks for content.

AP said he projects better as a guard at the next level and he’s seen the kid

"Project" is a decent synonym for "Speculate" here.

Bama trying to get back in it makes sense since they lost out on the 5* OT from Iowa.

Still think it's down to us and Miami. Also Miami appears to be flipping the Florida OT commit who decommitted yesterday ... A lot of moving parts.

Nothing but click bait at this point, IMHO! GBO!!!!

They do kinda have this whole thing going for them...


GBO!!

What’s the point of posting an espn article? They don’t know anything lol

If only posters who knew things posted + everyone only posted stuff from sites that know things then this board wouldn’t exist.

I have been to South Beach twice. Very disappointed with the scenery. Maybe I just went on 2 bad days. However I walked into Burger King there and they had Cold Beer . Wasn’t expecting that. Give me a Whopper and a Coors Light

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I couldn’t imagine being in this kids shoes! The feeling of something building at Tennessee, family atmosphere, tradition, Neyland freaking stadium...the U, the bad boy image, honeys all over south beach...Alabama, nuff said...
Money being thrown around by everyone...
Wherever you end up, enjoy it young man, take it all in and make the best of whichever situation you chose to put yourself in.
How fun would it be to be a top flight football recruit right now?

GBO!!

I was very pleased with south beach scenery and I also went to an FSU/Miami game in Tallahassee and it was incredible!!!

Love that retro Florida look and blue color. sorta has a MCM vibe to it. Bet lifegaurding there is fun, can meet so many interesting people.

The ocean is best part, always a blast.

From the Bama site this AM:

A decision will be announced on Monday, July 4. Alabama has recruited Mauigoa hard and put itself on his short list. But it looks like he’ll be going elsewhere, likely Tennessee or USC, unless something changes over the weekend.

If Bama were really making a push I would think their guys would have a better whiff than this.

Thinking about posting this to the Miami board just to watch them go berserk.

He also filled in at at LT and excelled. Bruce Matthews similar story.

He was definitely great at filling in at tackle, but was arguably the best guard of all time. And he was paid like it. I’m just pointing out that a guard can make great money too.
