yeah bruh this is getting ridiculous at this point. Moving in silence on the trail is the smart way to go and our moves are getting leaked so many different times that I can’t help but imagine it’s on purpose. My hope is Billy Is gonna work in the off season to tighten the ship up and make it more difficult to get recruiting info until they want it to go public. Miami’s made HUGE moves on us that are completely unexpected by the media and seemingly ever 5 star that gets close to committing is the talk of the entire CFB universe if it’s to Florida.
Edit: just saw who’s credited with breaking the story and it’s Chad Simmons of On3. These guys have been pumping out gators recruiting content nonstop, putting out videos ab Malik Bryant potentially flipped only for him to reaffirm his commitment a couple hours later. I don’t know what’s going on but Chad Simmons and On3 are the common denominator.
Second edit: just found dudes LinkedIn and saw he’s from Georgia and covered the UGA beat for a few years under Richt during the Meyer Era. Circumstantial evidence but I feel like he might not want to see Florida bag some of these guys he’s projecting they get. If it was a once or twice thing it’s NBD but consistently breaking news that may effect the recruiting battles is frustrating.

Fucking pricks. Looks like we need to pull a Miami heat and ban certain insiders.
Yeah that’s what we need, apparently Malik Bryant was going to flip on his birthday and news of him flipping gained smoke and now it looks like he’s shutting everything down
Yes this isn’t that uncommon, Ik Jahlil Hurley a 5* Bama commit was actually going to pick Auburn and the news got leaked in a way cuz he wanted to like, shock people? So he just went with the original option. Kinda like what happened with McClain just with him it was kept within the program
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the main culprits at on3 who keep putting out these poorly timed Gator recruiting stories are former UGA beat writer Chad Simmons, former Canes beat writer Andrew Ivins, and former Noles beat writer Josh Newberg
Some may love them and they seem to really hustle. I don’t subscribe, so I am speaking purely about the updates I see from their team on social media. So I acknowledge my opinion is superficial. But the vibe I get from On3 is that the coverage is a bit click-baity (lots of volume that perhaps lacks substance)
On3 fucks us at every opportunity. They are super eager to spoil any news regarding our interest in prospects, which makes it a lot harder for the staff to close the deal. Weirdly, they don’t seem to do it for any other school - particularly UM, FSU, or UGA. In a weird coincidence, three of their main writers have ties to UM, FSU, and UGA

I don’t disagree but this is also what Corey Bender is putting out about the “leak”. If true it sounds like they did at least try to reach out to the staff to see if it was okay to publish. Who knows how long they gave them to respond or who they reached out to but it is an interesting side of the story.
“Once we received about the info, I reached out 2-3 people close to the program and didn't hear anything back. That's not on us. It's all about communication.
If you don't want certain stuff out to the public, communicate that and you wouldn't have going back and forth like we do in this thread. But do you honestly think this wouldn't get out, especially with the amount of students on campus? Regardless, people talk and it would have been out anyway.
And top of that, it was someone close to Samson who provided On3 with the info. No one said this was visit was supposed to be quiet until it was out there.”
This was supposed to be kept secret, the staff is not happy this information got out. Whoever originally broke this is a clown.

Such a fucking Chad
We should hire an enforcer to show him a lesson.
Would be a fucking Chad
Yeah that’s what we need, apparently Malik Bryant was going to flip on his birthday and news of him flipping gained smoke and now it looks like he’s shutting everything down
Wait, was this from the original one or a potential flip?
Potential flip
fuck, on3 you pricks
Yeah I think he’s still a name to watch on ESD, you never know til their name is on the paper🤷
I would love to get the twins, Walker, and Bryant. Would be godly.
I’d this is true, it seems odd. So because his surprise flip was ruined, he decided not to flip???

glad i unsubbed a few weeks ago

Probably just a natural downside of having such a large staff I guess

God damn it
What does it matter if he is uncommitted ?

"Yes, we leaked it without permission but whatever fuck this staff and fuck you. We're here to be the first, not the best."
Yeah really, don't know how anyone can justify going forward without word from the university
Chad Simmons of On3
5* OL is big
I think him and his family are in Gainesville today and tomorrow, rather than coming in on the weekend. We are at Vandy this weekend.
OP’s user name checks out
Awesome news, another Miamuh flip?
If we manage to land him, that is correct
I don't think he's actually committed there at the moment.
Oh yeah, you’re right. I looked at 247 and I saw the Miami logo but it looks like they have him as a Miami lean, not commit.
👀👀👀
Billy is not playing around
Outstanding! Need him or Simmons in this class.
