Aren't they all??

Look……you put three in the NFL draft, this is the end result. And none of the three in the draft had the pure talent of Matthews and Kennedy Brown if we're being honest. They DEVELOPED into NFL level guys

It's not like they haven't been dropping serious coin the past couple of years.

I know it's early and most teams and putting their money in the portal and the class of 2022 did not work out...but sure seems like a good time to be an Aggie.

Seems like a risk/reward issue. We pay big money for high schoolers that may or may not produce, and if we develop them, they can go and get paid elsewhere? Are there any stipulations to NIL these days?

It's a shame he couldn't convince Tyrann Mathieu to come here too

Looking at the On3 rankings and this could get crazy. (edit to note these are the Rivals Industry rankings)

Matthews would give us #6, #11, #15, #19 and #30. All five stars.

They also have us leading for:

#2 John Meredith CB
#14 Albert Simien IOL
#23 Kaden Henderson LB
#25 Oluwasemilore Olubobola OT
#26 Eric McFarland WR

that would be 10 5 stars to go with 8 4 stars including #40, #53 and #61.

Miami would tell you it doesn't help much. Lol their thread about losing Mathews to us is hilarious.
https://www.canesinsight.com/threads/heres-what-i-know-on-mark-matthews.208321/

And in their other thread down below that's about Matthews that's been going for months, they now keep saying Matthews is going to end up like Crownover because he chose us. Yes, they are talking about the small town 3-star TE that was ranked-#441 out of HS, who we transitioned into an OL here and got drafted late. Lol

I started reading this thread at about Page 30…of its 67 pages. Not as good of a read as the first thread I linked though. https://www.canesinsight.com/threads/mark-matthews-5-ol-from-sta.197638/page-64

Most of Miami's fans are absolute goobers and all bleeding down their legs. And you'd never know last year was only Elko's 2nd year here. Lol

The 2027 freshmen will never be a part of the 2025 playoff games. So I don't think it matters to them as much as you think. What's more important to them is seeing the upward trajectory of the program and that the staff they're choosing to play for is capable of developing guys with less talent than them into NFL draft picks.

Also NIL checks.

We have lost a total of one starter(Noah Thomas) in the last two offseason. In general, guys who are going to be getting good PT will stay at successful programs.

It's also much easier to pay to keep guys than go get them out of the portal. It's still usually better to home grow most of your roster. I know people will point out Indiana, but most playoff teams still had 65-75% high school and 25-35% portal in their two Deep

If we can get and keep these guys, we are building a monster.

perfect response

Timing to put together a strong HS class might be perfect, if the rumblings of changing the rules to regain a little sanity and balance come to fruition soon.

It's hard to get too excited about a bunch of HS signings knowing they all can go somewhere else in a year, but if we have a good chance to keep them around, bring them in.

Almost all HS OL have to sit for 1-2 years before they are physically able to compete in the SEC. I think a lot of SEC teams would rather spend the money on 3-4 year portal guys rather than develop from HS.
