No need to worry at all my friend. This kid is playing the recruiting game. He's 100% cane. I love how these FSU fans think that they got a shot.... It's funny!!! Lmao. I got the inside scoop on this. I coach youth football in Dade County. I coach Frank Gore Jr. and Roscoe Parrish Jr. and this year I'm adding Geoege Mira's grandson. I do a lot of recruiting as well for the coaches at UM. Also, coach Harris Matthews' Highschool coach was my coach at Miami Sr Highschool. Don't worry my friend this and the rest of the S. Florida kids are coming to the U!!!! You will see my friend.

So because you coached Frank Gore you are able to know where Matthew Thomas is going to school?
Got it. That makes a ton of sense!

Seems like he has something good to say about all the schools he is considering. Kid handled the recruiting process as well as anybody. Class act and good luck to him wherever he goes.... hopefully Miami!

Can't disagree he was pure class
Now I can disagree and hope he is a Nole!

This is why you fools get caught. (Assuming you're being truthful) Not because the NCAA has it out for you, or Charles Robinson, or your rivals. It's because you guys are stupid, and flashy and can't keep your mouths shut. SMH. Even if y'all don't get hammered this time around, rest assured you'll give the NCAA another chance.

Ignorance is bliss. Cane fans are ALWAYS blissed out, regardless of their record, regardless of sanctions.

The sticking point is that while he talks nicely about all of the schools he's considering, there is one or two that really make him light up; FSU being one of them.

From the interview it certainly seems as though he's leaning our way. Tough to say for sure though.

Meh. Stop blowing things out of proportion. I coach football and its not a violation if I tell a kid he should go to Miami. High school coaches do it everyday. Dude maybe should word it better but he's not AG's right hand man illegally recruiting kids.

From my understanding of the NCAA rules telling kids that you coach to go to Miami is actually a violation but I doubt it is one that the NCAA would look closely at. However that is not what was said. What was said was that he coached HS kids and did recruiting for UM coaches.

If he's associated with the University whatsoever (fan, ticket holder, booster etc.), it is a violation and it can effect the players eligibility. It's also poor practice to push your beliefs on recruits. Guide them through the process, let them make their own decision without bias. He's the definition of a poor coach and mentor.

Doesn't bother me any. I'm not a um fan. Just commenting on the overall absurdity of having a persecution complex, a staple of your fanbase, while spouting off and touting your importance to your school's football recruiting.

Glad the NCAA compliance department showed up and no it's not. As HS coaches part of your job is to help kids get into college and choose the one the thats best for them as most of them look at you like a father figure type. Dude is not associated with the university though, I agree though he chose poor wording. Call yahoo! If you want.

That's exactly what I said. He, however, is not doing that. He's pushing Miami.

Well. UGA will probably land Tunsil so we're even.

True that. Id make that deal every day of the week. Thomas is going to be a beast but we have really goos pass rushers in the system already, what we don't have his a dominant LT. We got Theus out of FL last year who is a stud a RT. Talk about two very good bookends for the next couple years...

If kids are swayed by some 40 year old Pop Warner coach,IMO they will not make it long in college anyways.
