SPEAK IT
Good thing you can't put a price on being tuff n fizical
rad hired an assistant vp of athletic development and giving from Air Force which doesn't participate in NIL in may. 2023

Mike Ryan who was the first person I heard say this did say this week on the pod that Miamis NIL is humming now but yes we seemingly were very behind based on Rado focusing solely on that facility (which has yet to break ground I think)
Then we need to adjust our strategy for this year. You do what it takes to get the guys you want. It's his own fault with last years results, now we have to pay the suck tax. Do it and put a better product on the field and then we can maybe start getting the benefit of the doubt again. Mario isn't going to all of a sudden become a game day savant. He needs to have high level guys get on the field and start performing. We can't afford to have a class be mediocre at this point.
Winning is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one.
And this right here is why I'm not stressing any of this mess. Him getting the offer is the ultimate validation of a HS wideout but OSU came way late. Furthermore that OSU WR room is a crowded room...I'm sure he sees that and Hartline doesn't have the connection with him that KB has. He can absolutely come in here and compete for immediate playing time

i dont think he flips but when i first glanced at it, it read like a decommitment post.
My instinct was the exact opposite.
I was expecting the next line to be, "with that said, I am shutting down my recruitment. 100% committed."

The “first to market” part is a huge point
We weren’t the only ones to do that last year and you’re seeing some market stabilization this year as others have caught up and as you said, surpassed us
Luckily for us we did get in early last year and capitalized on it and landed a great class
I don’t know if winning this year will suddenly turn this class into a gem, but I do feel that consistently underachieving on the field just made our lives more difficult with the NIL than it already was
The concerning part last year for me was in the A&M game for example I thought our coaches coached scared in the second half. One thing to blame culture on players but I felt our guys weren’t put in positions to succeed. I was like oh god this season is gonna be tough
That’s exactly what I expected, too.

Perfectly put as always. I’d add that we probably over invested last year in time and $. Many people I trust told me we were behind on this class. Mario will stay relentless, but this is the most important season in a decade.
In the meantime, the suck tax is bigger than we thought.
We have to pony up or rely on evaluations (or most likely both).
Feels like this kid wants to be at UM but may feel like he committed early, and still wants all the attention that goes with being a top uncommitted prospect.
