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.

Ah, shut up with the excuses already. You sound like a . It was a fail. If you fail to land recruits you've targeted then you've failed. Stop being a by making ****** excuses.

Some of you guys are way too negative and that is why you are ruining this thread.

You cannot expect every recruit that you want badly to go to the U. It is their choice, not ours so they have to live with their choice which may be good or bad for them.

I woul love Pete's or [MENTION=10499]ErickMarreroU[/MENTION] input on why CJ Henderson is trolling Miami fans by tweeting positive Miami type stpuff when everyone knows he's at **** now?

It's just really a punk move to do your hometown team like that. Picking those hillbillies is one thing, trolling the locals is some low class shīt.

How do we know that Henderson is trolling. Did he already announce?

One of the most arrogant and stupid things they've done. I hope they realize it in the building.
Not a good idea to have a look at me victory lap before you cross the finish line.
Celebrate actual deeds not hype.

The coaching staff did not create that hashtag, a fan did.

[MENTION=2315]Torocane[/MENTION] you're the epitome of a fxgxx / Miami is finishing with multiple top commits that weren't on our radar at the beginning but its a fail bc of one or two players going somewhere else??? Gtfoh clown

The reality ufag didnt fix their ****ty qb issue . Radio and mr ed will be gone two years max. Slaton will figure he got lied to and transfer. Hendo will take two years to develop .

Like I said. Comparing segments of classes, UF just barely beats us out at secondary. I'm not sure of what Polendy brings to the table so maybe they have TE. But as far as lines, receiver (if Thomas and Harley come), as well as QB goes I'll take our class hands down.

Rumph and Banda need to lock down 2018 though. Ivey, Frierson and Blades (who should be a lock) are the only ones I count on. But Rumph better land Campbell. That kid said he looks at Rumph like a father figure. Failing to land him would be flagrantly bad. Having said that, at least the American Heritage curse is broken.

By the way, I'm giddy as all **** that Perry is officially a Cane.

Missing both db targets sucks, but we will be ok. We got the trenches covered. My guess is that one of them made a really big mistake though. Time will tell.

Time to hit the free agent market find us another grad transfer Colbert type we'll be good no worries I think

This. It sucks but that's where we are at this point. The coaches did a great job of identifying and signing Colbert last year and I'm sure they'll find another one or two this year. I read earlier in this thread that there's a Mississippi State defensive back looking to play his senior season somewhere else. Seems like a perfect fit given that Manny and Ephraim likely coached this kid previously. Gotta assume that kid is ours to lose. We'll be fine with the 2018 DBs we already have committed along with the addition of Al Blades (I have a hard time believing we'll be able to keep any of the other 5-stars home given our competition) so the future definitely looks bright. Losing these 2 is definitely a blow but both were flaky throughout the entire recruiting process.

So many gloom and doom posts. It's not the close we wanted but overall I like this class. Got a bunch of dogs hungry to make Miami MIAMI again. Unlike Randy and Golden, I'm confident this staff is gonna develop the **** out of these kids and make the most of their potential. Yeah, recruiting rankings aren't worthless, but it ain't **** if you don't develop them. Randy had the #1 class in 2008 and those boys underachieved like a ****. Say what you will about this class being comparable to Golden's classes ON PAPER, but to me that's skewed because most of those kids Golden recruited were never developed properly. We'll never know how good they could've been under a real coaching staff. The future is still bright man. Plain and simple, gotta have a really good year and get double digit wins and at least a Coastal Division title. Do that, and it's more realistic we won't be played by those ELITE DBs coming out in '18.

I'm sorry, but at least one of those Columbus DBs has to be overrated. One school can't have 3 of the best 25 corners in the nation. Hopefully it's not Bandy...

stop being over-dramatic. it wasnt nearly as good as it ought to be, but it was hardly a fail. fact of the matter is, we wont truly know until these kids step on the field for the next few years.

Kīll yourself you female dog

only a ****** made would complain about who we missed on instead of who we landed. We land Thomas and Harley and this is our best class in 10-12 years. And once we start winnning 11-12 games( next season ) we go from top 10-15 classess to top 5 .

We've got four DB's signed, killer OL class, and a true dual threat QB that will lead this team for three years. We good.

Man, the **** with bags. We need to bag up a group of Haitians to run around slashing tires and bullying any recruiter other than UM's trying to hit up the tri-county area.
