Terry Parker High School lineman Tavadis Glenn committed to the Hurricanes officially on Wednesday. The 6’5″ and 265-pound four-star recruit says his recruiting days are done. It’s Miami and nobody else.
Glenn was recently hit by a car and suffered a hip injury, which is expected to completely heal. While some other universities took their offers off the table, Miami stuck by Glenn – to which he credits the early commitment. Glenn had over a dozen offers on the table, including LSU, South Carolina, Southern Cal, Tennessee and nearby Florida and Florida State.
The caveat here is that Signing Day remains ten months away. I completely get that.
The same way I defend the fact that any local talent looking elsewhere could remain home, truth is both Glenn and Nix are simply verbal commits and until they’re officially signed up and on campus, it’s all theory. Still, it’s good theory and proof that Miami coaches continue tirelessly recruiting and building for the future. Hopefully this program’s toughest critics remember these small victories along the way. Seems only ‘bad’ news is front page news and the focus remains on the ones who got away instead of those who got on board.
The U reeled in a total score of 89, ten points higher than Texas. The five categories were worth 20 points a piece with Miami scoring a 20 in the ‘bikini’ category, 17 in ‘sex’, 20 in ‘campus’, 12 in ‘sports’ and 20 in ‘brains’. UM was the only school to garner a perfect score in the ‘brains’ category… as well as ‘bikini’. Not too shabby.
The ‘ol party school list sure means a lot more when you’re actually in college, on campus and taking part in the festivities. Still, nice that Miami fans can finally cheer, “we’re #1” for the first time in a few years.
