Who was that “SU fan” clown on Twitter who said we had no chance earlier in the week and it was going to be an uphill battle?

I'm surprised Virginia didn't pursue harder too.

Me too, but the UVA system isn’t for everyone...cuse lead the entire way start to finish on this. I mean this was never anyone but SU besides Roy making a play but that died right when he retired. JT and his mom wanted cuse since day 1. This kid is the real deal and a kid SU alwayssss misses out on. Until now. Great job

AWESOME !!!!

Think Autry was the lead here

No G Mac was

Just like poker players have tells, Jason’s tell was right after his SU visit he said he might move up his decision day.

Gerry getting it done more and more. I’m feeling more confident about his abilities to take over if that ever happens.

It always felt like this was the case.. Thanks for keeping us updated throughout the recruitment, even though it took some further convincing!

Ummm

great comparisons

 

[Briancuse]

Perhaps I should apologize for saying he couldn't recruit someone out of a burning building.

 

[HOFCeluck]

This is a positive development.

This is my favorite post about this announcement. Huge to see Kamari chiming in given some of the questions around his commitment on here.

High release like GMAC, great step back three and a baseline fall away. He’s ready from day one.

 

[Orangezoo]

This is a positive development.

It's time to get to the snacks and refreshments

Holy smokes, I did not see that coming! THIS KID IS A FREAKING STUD. What a huge get for the future of the program.

Recruiting has been trending upward since the 2020 class. The coaches have been doing a great job bringing elite talent in even with the transfers.

To all the haters who have been down for years on one of the greatest to ever come to our program: tell me how gmac’s arse tastes.

Q: How big of a factor was your relationship with the coaching staff?

Taylor: "That was probably one of the biggest factors in the decision, if not the. I think having the opportunity to work with G-Mac every day and develop my game. What he's done is proven with guys he's helped put in the league and I've seen that improvement with Buddy too. And seeing him in person on the visit helped a ton, too. He's been recruiting me since last summer so it's over a year now. I've been their guy for over a year. It just felt like the best situation going in with G-Mac and him being my position coach. Our connection and relationship is amazing."
