Honestly let's ride with the young men we have now. I get frustrated when "top recruits" commit elsewhere and then at the last minute decide to flip to us, and we might be faced with the possibility of having to force a young man out who committed to us early and wants to be a Cane. Let's ride with the Duke Johnsons of the world who commit early and never waver, and all they want to do is put their hometown team, and their city back on the map. If you look at our great teams of the past they where built with players who wanted to be Canes and they played with that fire, that passion, that chip on their shoulder. So let's support those young men who decide to commit to us when it's not a trendy pick and trully want to be MIAMI HURRICANES. Those who turned their backs on us will regret it, because I can sense it, the storm is brewing and it's coming. In celebrarion of The Franchises committment tonight and labor day being right around the corner.... I said it's GREAT TO BE A MIAMI HURRICANE!!!!!!!
Couldn't disagree more. It's the cold, hard reality of recruiting and it's done by nearly every big-time program. Adapt or perish.
You don't tell an elite recruit that he can't come here if he wants to flip to UM on NSD because another player who's nowhere near as talented made up his mind sooner. That's not how you compete for national titles.
The 2016 class may not even have to deal with this issue with the way it's shaping up. Nothing but blue-chippers in that class and they'll be here if they want to be here a year and a half from now. But the 2015 class? Nope. There's a lot of work that still needs to be done.
