Could see it coming a mile away. Even when you know better than to believe you still hope. And it still hurts. This way tho this late to the hometown team is just classless and dirty. I'd like to see high school coaches get involved somehow and put an end to it.

We'll never be elite. We'll never be back.

This is the U. 15th ranked recruiting classes every year and 9 wins. That's our ceiling now.

Watch the finish
Only to go 3 of what 7?

McFarland Maryland
Edwards uf
Henderson uf
Dean miami
Thomas miami* I guess
Harley Miami
Devonta smith bama or lsu

Are we missing anyone else?

Regardless not closing on this next class is unacceptable. Got to clean up... south Florida kids are fickle I'm getting sick of this sh*t....

Staff was told by 3 of the players that they were going to Miami only to sh*t on the U. This end of the cycle has been ridiculous.

Did we close like we wanted to? No. But I'm still feeling confident in our team for next year. After next season we'll change the national perspective of UM

F*ck Henderson & Edwards, We have our DB depth with Dean and Bandy onboard, as well as DeeJay. We better close next year on most of our targets though. Canes keep rolling

Feb 1, 2017

We did end up with a great oline class

If things go down as they appear to be, it's fair to call this class disappointing, but if Bandy and Dean, and one of these o-linemen can play right way this class is still building talent here, and we can win with classes like this. The big back step was McFarland. Few people seemed to have Smith, Edwards or Henderson in this class 3 months. We shouldn't be losing these types of kids to the Turds though. Not out of S. Fla.

mcfarland means the least to me

stud Rb's are all over the place in florida, and especially south florida.

missing out on local kids at positions of big need is a very concerning and continuing trend.

Fire the staff if they can't hang on the kids we have committed in 2018

Solid but disappointing class. Very golden-esque. Some good players and one or two elite ones but got played when the money was on the line by the elite prospects: Smith, McFarland, Henderson, etc. B- class. Projected win total: 9. Not nearly good enough.

9 wins ? Have you looked at the schedule

Yeah, this maverick kid is not a Cane fan, nothing but a troll

Epic fail by Richt and staff. Smh.

But none of the blame on these kids right? I mean they are telling the staff they are coming. I mean we could easily flip some FAU, Temple 2 or 3 star but then we'd biatchin' that we just signed another Al Golden Special.

put on your panties and go pick daisies or something...wow...

i am not saying i am happy about losing kids but this is absurd... a CB prospect is almost never going to make our break us.

So Edwards and Henderson are both going to UFa.g due to secondary coaching concerns here. What happens after next year when Mr. Ed is fired and they have no idea who will be coaching them? Commit to the school, not to a coach.

Not anything, in any way,, even close in comparison to Al Golden for anything related to Golden when it comes to Golden the coach and recruiter. Judge him on his 2018 class where he has had time to build relationships. One year and a few months still not enough to build and be where this staff wants to be with recruits, what he and this staff are building.
According to Tom Luginbill kids look at the last three years for what a team and coach have done. Richt has one year at 9-4. Rome was not built in a day and neither will Miami's rebuild.
When this class is completed focus on what we have not what we don't have as fans of the U!
I realize for some that isn't possible, I can't help you there! so it is what it is!
