Best Of

We dodged a bullet here. His top four were Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, and Oregon. Of those 4, Miami is the only one that plays home games in a half empty stadium every home game. It’s also the only one not competing for national championships on a regular basis. As my grandson, who is a student at Miami, says, “I can’t see anyone preferring to play for us over a school like UGA.” He says the stadium is usually more than half empty with far fewer in actual attendance than is announced.

Choosing Miami over any of the other three makes zero sense if his main goal is playing really big-time football in packed stadiums with championships on the line. Plus, to be the best you need to practice and play against the best. Not going to happen at Miami.

Couldn’t criticize anyone for choosing either OSU or Oregon.

Picking Miami can only be explained by one word: MONEY. I’m glad we missed on this one. I prefer young men who play for more than money at the college level.

Nevertheless, I hope he finds success. 18 year old kids need better advice than Jackson got. It’s not his fault imo. I wish him well, but poor decisions usually have undesirable consequences. Hope that doesn’t happen to Jackson, who seems like a nice young man.

Everything is easier in the cupcake acc (schedules, practices, and most games)..he should be a superstar at miami.

Was thinking the same thing, Missouri and South Beach don't mix so well. Better learn to lock your doors, park the exotic car in the garage, and swap the long gun for a Glock. Go Dawgs!

"Superstar"……you're spot on concerning the ACC……Atlantic Cupcake Conference, However, I'm predicting ole Jackson will get all of his "pancakes" not against conference foes but at Waffle House.

Probably didn’t want to have to earn his spot on the O line. I’m sure he was told on a visit that he’d have to work and practice hard. Have fun playing in half full stadiums.

2 million a year. A super agent at his side. For an O lineman to play in the ACC? Can this entire process get any more ridiculous? Now Mom and Dad can retire in style. Good luck. College sports is DEAD. Saturdays in the Fall are gone. There is nothing in this game that is fun anymore. R.I.P. college sports. Dead.

Money talked and the POS walked. Here's hoping he falls flat on his face. Greed and nil will destroy college football.

you just called a high school kid a POS. Touch grass dude.

I did not see that one coming at all. I thought our history of putting people in the league would have won out but no. Oh well onto the next one.

Apparently I was wrong, Cantwell was never a "Georgia Guy"…ie: he opted for quick cash rather than skill development, championships and the opportunity to earn more via a well paid future being a first rounder in the NFL …..I'm thinkin The Hick from Nixa will have a hard time focusing on football in the land of Lambos, loose thongs, and lecherous leisure time…..since The Dawgs have outstanding success with guys named Malaki…. and Athens is a whole lot warmer than Ann Arbor, plus he seems curious about becoming a DGD, I'd set my sights on this Hawaiian He-Man!
