I won’t say a bad thing about this kid. He’s handled everything with class and is just trying to make the right decision for himself. I hope that decision is Tennessee, but if it isn’t, I hope the kid has a great career. And if he feels unhappy at his eventual destination, I hope he gives Tennessee another look through the portal.

Completely agree. There is nothing negative to be said about Mauigoa.

Also he can’t sign for basically 5 months. So if we are this scared he would change his mind over a late, desperate offer from Miami then shouldn’t we be on pins and needles until December? What’s to say he commits to us tomorrow but Ruiz tosses another $1M in October? If a kids decision was truly coming down to money why wouldn’t they wait until singing day eve to shake down each school for as much as they could?

I didn't wish him ill. I did wish Ruiz, the big Miami booster, ill.

So it appears we have entered the "whether he picks us or not. . ." phase.

Nah, I’m past that and into the “coping” phase. Tons of Miami coaches dropping Tweets tonight about news tomorrow, our VQ guys starting the walk back, Miami’s mods gaining confidence, etc.

Seen this too many times before. Time to cope.

I think it’s significant that the family is no longer together. It was always going to be a family decision. That would lead me to believe decision was made Friday. All this last minute stuff smoke. Still sitting at 9/10 conference that Vols get a good one tomorrow.

Exactly what I said on the last page. All this stuff from saturday to today is all building suspense

I will be extremely disappointed if he picks Miami, but I'm not convinced he is. And if he does, we need to continue to work him until he actually signs a LOI. I do feel Spyre needs to make him a priority but have no idea if they will. Nico obviously wants him here. If Ruiz succeeds in buying him, I hope that man goes bankrupt.

Let him go if a couple of million isn’t enough unless we somehow gain another 2-3 million between now and December. We can’t spend half our remaining NIL allocation on 1 player. Especially when it’s a guy that’s likely going to play guard. If he doesn’t take the offer we give him and we can get Ramil amd Umarov and the guy that de-committed from Georgia we’d be better off using that money to lock up Bradley and Searcy/Osborne and maybe try to flip Justin Jefferson and lock down Jackson and/or Matthews with it. Because if Miami is going to give a QB not named Arch, Malachi, or Nico 9.5M they’re likely going to be able to outbid us on Mauigoa regardless of how much we offer

Of course the could just call each other if Miami offered a bigger bag and talk again.

Gotta love the posters saying he’s going to Miami when there’s no indication nor information coming from his family.

Cristobal has nothing to sell in Miami except throwing money around.

He’ll flop in the ACC.

There is an “insider” over on Miami’s board pretty much guaranteeing FM is a Cane and Hubbs/Price seem to be far more pessimistic about things so forgive me for not feeling good. Don’t think it’s us.

Meh, Florida will be a tough game for us no matter how bad or good Miami is.
