'24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

[NDMatt91]

I’m trying to think of a single one of these “chase the obvious pay day” NIL five stars who has panned out so far. I respect guys getting paid but when you put the cash above everything else it’s going to detract from your development IMO.

Was Travis Hunter a money grab or was the opportunity to play for Deion what pushed Jackson State over FSU?

 

[Irishdrunk]

Yea I was disappointed but a friend of mine who is a St Ignatius parent confirmed the kid has issues and isn’t what he is cracked up to be. He said “kid needs guidance… talks about nice watches and cars a lot…”

 

[Irishnuke]

Dude will be in the transfer portal next year

 

[NDisme]

Last Miami game I saw on TV there were like 100 People in the stands, better get that money upfront.

 

[stlnd01]

He has actual dollar bills floating through the air in his silly flip edit (from a perennial CFP contender to an endless hype tease).

 

[Luckylucci]

About as transparent as it can get when you flip *away* from Larry Johnson.

Precisely.

And, from the sounds of it. OSU isn’t giving out peanuts.

 

[notredomer23]

FWIW sounds like Jeremiah Smith may flip next

Oh boy. Day is up against it.

 

[BoredIrish]

Didnt one of the ND beat writers make a prediction months ago that he wouldnt end up at OSU and that his guess was Miami?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I'm still sort of moved by the backyard must get from the Chicago Catholic school bit.

 

[Katzenboyer]

Talking to people down here, even they're surprised this all came together.

Jeremiah Smith was the expectation. They were caught off guard by this one.

Gotcha. They must be shelling out them big bucks

 

[ND88]

I need a dose of my own medicine on this one, because there’s something unlikeable here and I’m putting it on this kid, and that’s a wrong, or at least incomplete, perspective to have. It’s easy to blame young people for the permissible things adults promote and set up as definitions for success. Money is tremendously tempting for every person, yet alone for a kid. I don’t know his life.

 

[ColinKSU]

Can’t wait to see his Driskell and Shaun Davis will blame Al Washington for Justin Scott flipping from OSU to Miami for stacks of cash…

Well didn't you know it's Al Washington's fault...Scott was all ND til Al messed up. Oh and apparently Miami is "close to home" cause Shaun Davis has been telling y'all LOCATION MATTERS!!!

That doesn’t sound all that bad.

 

[T-Boone]

I would re offer this kid (send him an email) but make clear to him:
1. he would not get any money but would get a scholastic scholarship for 4 years and
2. he would likely red shirt his first year and realistically that if he works his arse off he might get some time in his second year and
3. that he needs to get his grades right up and master Latin before he enrols and
4. he would need to accept a mentorship under Howard cross (or an equivalent senior) and that senior would be getting the NIL payment for working with Scott instead of Scott for at least the first year.

 

[Rocketman84]

Agree 100%

I get going for money but if you don’t go to a place that fits you and you aren’t passionate about you won’t reach your potential.

But if you going to a place thats fits for every other reason more outside of Football, then you have problems and end up in the portal multiple times.

Within 2 seasons until he gets his head in the right place.

Yep, Miami is the perfect destination for him then to get all that "guidance" he needs. We need an over/under projection for when you'll see his prison mug shot to appear by heading to Miami.

Did you expect books and calculators instead??

Who does OSU poach to replace?

Carlon Jones, USC Trojans, Defensive Line

Also has played basketball and competes in track and field. Posted a 45-5 shot put as a junior in March 2023. ----- 2023: 95 tackles, 30 stops for loss, 23...

he just decommitted from Nebraska two days ago. Hes predicted to join OSU's class. Because of this OSU fans kind of guessed in advance Scott was heading to Miami. Their big challenge now is to hold onto Jeremiah Smith also but it looks like hes' taking the bag to stay home and be a Hurricane

Why waste the ether?

 

[Katzenboyer]

I understand that you all love to drop the "bag" comments about Miami, and in this instance you're probably right.

But Mario Cristobal is probably the second best recruiter in college football behind Kirby Smart. He demonstrated it at Bama when he was OL coach, he did it Oregon, and he's doing it at Miami. The fact that Miami decided to (finally) start investing in its program is a +1 factor to this, and the Canes will most likely finish with Top 5 classes as long as he's there.

If Mario pulls that off after going 7-5 in his second season, and having a viral moment that had him look like a complete buffoon then props to him. He really must be every bit the recruiter he is built up to be, because the results on the field and the embarrassing half empty stadium home games don't compute to a top five recruiting class.
