And I'm sure we weren't aware you were so sensitive to the fact that your offense is, and has been, an abortion.

I do not believe in all my years of covering and following recruiting that I have ever seen a five star RB with fewer offers? I wonder why? Also, Rivals appears to have him rated a 4 star, not a 5 star.


Most likely, no one thought they could steal him from any of the Florida schools...especially when he initially committed to Miami so early.

And there's been plenty of high ranked 5* guys who didn't have tons of offers. Here's one off the top of my head:

I find using the termination of a human life to discuss football reprehensible.

You are good at flaming though. I give you that.

He actually hasn't been playing football that long and he's been committed to Miami for a while. Not many schools will go after a south Florida kid right next to Miami because most of the time it would just waste time. Also because of the lack of real video on him its hard for services like Rivals that simply look at a kids highlight reel and offer list to give ratings.

No, this isn't "well he's rated lower here so that site is wrong". Rivals has just been really going downhill since the guys left to start 247.

any way you look at it... this is a big time get for the Hogs. Hopefully this opens up some South Florida pipelines to Fayetteville!

I don't mind being called piggies. Or arky. Or whatever that "ship" thing is.

Good natured ribbing comes with the territory.

I call bama the detergents. Auburn is the war kittens. Etc.

However, if I ever run into Nick in a public place, I'm gonna call him "sir". Cause love him or hate him, he really is the very best living coach.

Wife was in the room with me when he announced. She said he looked like a thirty year old. Is this a Leon Sandcastle?

Good get.

Congrats Piggies. You should see the Miami board meltdowns. I actually want to thank you for pinging them pretty good. Their class is going to be as bad as it has been in 40 years. They have 13 commits right now and one is a sign and place.


Being a Florida resident, I share your fanbase's disdain for all things Miami
