Like we should be on our knees for "Ice"...we'll leave that to him seeing as it seems to fall a bit more favorably into his character when considering his actions.
Who the **** said get on our knees for ice? Who even defended him? Why can't you comprehend the concept of not going against the grain of what the staff is trying to accomplish in these last days until LOI? If that means sacrificing your little rant to not hurt the U is that too much to ask? Or are you in it for a different reason?
And as for BTW... right, Miami doesn't need overtown kids. LOL. Maybe do a little research into what's changed with the HS scene over the last decade or so. Educate yourself. Regardless of its previous history as an old HS and then middle school, BTW is new on the scene as a HS, and started out 2A in 1999 iirc. Its basically becoming what it is as we speak, a bigger and bigger program. Miami without OT isn't Miami. Lots of past Canes from other schools would be BTW kids today. Do a little research.
Again, the point isn't to support or defend Ice, or do as I say, its to ****ing open your eyes and ears and not **** on what the staff is doing now. And yeah, sadly, these days pathetic internet ****tards do seem to have an affect on the process due to social networking, and boards, etc. I feel bad for the coaches. They have to overcome their own fan bases.
Rule #1: Do no harm.
Stop acting like you have some special sort of insight into what the goal and mission statement of the program is when you have absolutely NO idea.
1) You're absolutely right. Miami doesn't need OT kids. Miami needs hungry, disciplined, and explosive athletes. It just so happens, that many of the hungry Hurrcane players in the past have been from Overtown and if they happen to be from Overtown, so be it. If they are in Nigeria, that's fine as well. Tidewater Area in Virginia, I'll take them too. If they are entitled babies from Liberty City, like Marcus Forston who would rather not work hard, then I prefer that we look in a different direction. Contrary to your belief, there are guys from the Overtown area that haven't been/aren't being/will never be recruited by the University of Miami. You sound like Uncle Luke
2) I am standing in the way of NOTHING. What have I said that is off base? How have I gone against the staff? I'm talking about Ice Harris and the staff has usurped his authority and gone around him to speak to the kids and their families. How is what I've said putting a road block between the University of Miami and progress?
3) What does Ice Harris have to do with Booker T? Judging by Kirkland retweeting the fact that his coach flew off the handle before he even had a shred of evidence, I would say that there are more than likely others who aren't too thrilled with Ice Harris and if they are thrilled with Ice Harris, I don't want them at Miami in the first place. I'm not saying F the area. I'm saying F Ice Harris. It's people like YOU that inflate these dudes ego's to the point that they think they ARE Overtown and Luke Campbell IS Liberty City. Nah brah, Overtown is bigger than Ice Harris and Liberty City is bigger than Luther Campbell. Luke has already found that out by getting stiff armed when we recruited a kid who was on the team he was coaching this year.
Stop this crusade man. There hasn't been one time where I said stop recruiting the Overtown area, that was some strawman you built once you realized your other argument was pretty stupid, invalid, and pointless. I said that if a couple players lost over Ice Harris is what it cost us, then I'm fine with that. I said that Ice Harris deserved every last bit of criticism he gets and he does. YOU the one trying to make this about OT and recruiting the area.
Once again, how are we ****ting on what the staff is doing?
CanesInsight says Ice Harris is stupid and shouldn't have said what he said
Miami Hurricanes coaching staff GOES AROUND Ice Harris to speak to Denver Kirkland and his parents.
What don't you understand about BTW players and OT having not a **** thing to do with Ice Harris? Al Golden is going to get Denver Kirkland and stiff arm Ice Harris in the process. Wake up and smell the coffee brah.
