Lol.
And I just got done saying how you guys shouldn't take his commitment, and that he'd for sure try to commit to yall, just like he's been trying to commit to a handful of other schools...but none wanted him.
I'm not kidding when I say this kid could singlehandedly ruin a team....I doubt he even lasts 2 years before he transfers/gets kicked out.
And I'm not even shitting on his talent either. Because he is clearly very talented. And if he didn't have the extreme off the field issues/drug problem, I'd definitely want him over Sitkowski.
But this isn't a kid you can save imo, He needs to prove himself at like a Juco. Kids gunna be on LastChanceU or some shite.

But it was obvious yall were getting Randy Russell From the day he decommitted from us. Truth is he was a surprise commit in the first place and we didn't try to keep him once he decommitted. Staff did like him though. He's an excellent hitter. He could be a very good box safety imo. But I don't view him as a loss for us because Gurvan Hall and Josh Jobe are way better.

Kids grown up and change. I'm sure he stands a good chance of doing that to.

Maybe getting away from home will be good for him?

I'm sure if you just search "Matt Corral Wayne Gretsky", you'll get what you're looking for

You're absolutely right.
But do you want to risk that with your potential starting QB? I'm not lying, dude is very talented. Certainly more talented than anyone currently on your roster.

But while it may be worth taking the risk on a guy that could be a locker room cancer at some positions like the OL or DL, it isn't at QB. Of course, Thats just my opinion. hell, I don't even really want Sitkowski because there are rumours he's been talking to some of our recruits about decommitting and shite.

Plus, being that I'm a Miami fan, we have to look extra hard at stuff like that. Miami is a city where you can't be getting guys that are idiots, who are already getting into fights while in HS, while showing no remorse and having the Gods gift to the world personality. We did that with Kevin Olsen, and it was an extreme failure.

So you can tell us all the details between Mat Corral and Tristan Gretsky, right? If he's such a "problem" as you try to tell us, you know all, eh cane?

If you are UF, you take Corral and believe getting him out of his area is good for him.

You also trust your staff and need his talent. If it doesn't work put you let him go. It really is that simple.

Miami should drop Sitkowski because he isnt even a top 5 in state QB this year.

Ok. Didn't know if there was actual proof.

Miami looks to have a great class. Looks like Richt is killing the O line recruiting. That's always been a ray of sunshine on his resume.

Well, He beat up Wayne Gretskys son at a public basketball game over some girl. And he got kicked out of the school because of it. Gotta note its tough for the star player of a private school thats good at fooball to be kicked out.

Also, before USC dropped him, he showed up to their campus drunk...or maybe it was the rivals challenge or something. At least thats whats said on some USC forums or some shite.

Often the problem isn't the area, its the person. Even if it is the area/his friends, isn't that also just a reflection of the person anyways? Whats the old saying - Show me a mans friends, and I'll show you the man.

Again, problem is that this is at QB. And I'd be willing to bet the moment he steps on campus he'd be the favorite to win the qb job. And if he starts, but doesn't fix himself thats a recipe for a coach to lose his job imo.

Ay, I'd be down for us to drop Sitkowski too. I'd much rather go after some other QBs. But the thing is None of our current recruits ever expect him to play here. I bet none of the coaches think he will either. He's a depth addition. We are all on the Perry (or small chance of Weldon) train. And by the time either of those two are gone, Taisun Phommachanh will take over.

Oh no, a football player who fights? We don't want that competitive-driven type of stuff here at UF.

Yeah, we're going to turn down a 5-Star because of drugs and fighting -- pretty much tons of recruits. No school ''turned him down''. If Miami had taken him you wouldn't be so down in the dumps.
