Everybody was happy with his decision. Well, Canes fans were happy. Some fans from other schools, not so much. Here's an overview of some the more interesting, and sometimes hilarious, Twitter posts regarding Okunlola's pick of Miami, before going on to a few more serious posts.
This first one is a Florida fan, probably mad after Okunlola posted multiple Florida pictures to his social media profiles during his official visit to Gainesville this past weekend.
The post caught so much attention that it also ended up being retweeted in conjunction with one pretty famous lawyer that attended The U. You cannot make this stuff up.
@Jdp227 hardest hit🤣🤣🤣🤣 . @JohnHRuiz was right AGAIN. https://t.co/c4fszHgeXr

If anyone was wondering, going through that poor Gator fan's Twitter page has become quite interesting since Okunlola announced for the Canes.
This next post caused some laughter as well. Point blank, well thought out and the picture was a good choice for the concept that was utilized.

Sometimes fans that were not even really personally invested in a recruit's decision can come up with a great take. This next one came from a Florida State fan though, so he's obviously not a big Gators guy. Still, he's not wrong with what he said.
They threw flour and pancake batter on the floor for this kid and still whiffed 😂😂 https://t.co/UaNkZgqPTv

Now that there has been some fun at the expense of other fanbases, here are some posts that were just fun. The following post shows Okunlola right after the announcement. All smiles from the following video.

There's also All Hurricanes podcaster and writer Alex Donno, as he already shared his thoughts about Okunlola selecting the Hurricanes!

Also a great post, it was Miami head coach Mario Cristobal with his traditional tweet when the Canes land a commitment. This post has never gone out of style.

Cristobal was not the only Miami coach to get in on the Twitter fun.

Speaking of Twitter posts from someone associated with the Canes, here's fellow Miami commitment Tommy Kinsler, soon to be playing with Okunlola.

Miami wide receiver commitment Robby Washington also had a cool Twitter post. Good stuff.

Okay, this one was too good to pass up. One more shot at the opposition. Another post that makes sense, too.
Kinda funny (from UM perspective) that four-star DL Rueben Bain (he of the 28 sacks this season) commits to UM this week right after visiting FSU and five star OL Samson Okunlola commits to UM today days after visiting UF.
