Two of our best classes ever turned out to be two of our worst (2002 and 2008). We won't know how this class stacks up for two to three years from now.

If you were expecting Diaz and the new staff to create miracles with this class in a few weeks, not including transfers, you probably weren't being very realistic.

I can only agree with your second paragraph.

Our recruits + our transfers would give us the 3rd ranked class in the nation if you use their 247 ratings. In other words we are bringing in Elite and Miami caliber guys that are older more mature , developed and game ready. Getting grad transfers for multiple years can do wonders for our program when bags get in the way. Mix that with the recruits that want to be here from Miami ( Lingard, Hall, Payton, Harvey types) and all of a sudden you cheated the bag game. I expect many of these transfers to make instant impact on the team and our team to upgrade from last year in multiple positions. That will lead to more wins than last year hopefully and a nice top5 category 20 class

I only want MAR if he will play safety.

Im not complaining about what we have, just we will get a better perspective on what MD and his guys can do with a full cycle.

The Canes just had another big recruiting weekend in terms of official visits, hosting targets such as RB Mark-Antony Richards, WR George Pickens, DT Jared Harrison-Hunte, S Martin Emerson, and QB Peyton Matocha. Here’s what I was hearing coming out of the weekend.


**On Matocha: the Canes got a commitment from the Texas QB in a move that was certainly expected.


**I didn’t hear anything overly positive coming out of the weekend on either Richards or Pickens and I believe it’s status quo with the pair. While I’m told both enjoyed their visit, sources say that Miami is still trailing for both prospects. I see them both as longshots to end up at UM.


**Nothing really new, but I’ve been hearing more positive news on guys like Harrison-Hunte and Emerson coming out of the weekend. UM feels strongly that they will both be Hurricanes; I put a pick in for Emerson on Friday afternoon after hearing some good news on him from a source and I feel even better about it now. As for Harrison-Hunte, Matthew has a pretty good source close to the recruitment there, and the source feels UM locked up Harrison-Hunte this weekend. Matt and I both put in UM picks for him on Sunday.


**In a week and half, the 2019 class will be signed, sealed, and delivered, and it will officially be time to shift the focus to the rising seniors of 2020. The UM staff has gotten a head start in evaluating players for the 2020 class the past few weeks and have really been combing through a host of prospects lately to see who is worthy of offers. One name to keep an eye on that UM is evaluating is Grayson (GA) DE Jadyn Bost. The 6’3”, 250 pounder already has P5 offers from Boston College, Indiana, Ole Miss, and Rutgers. Bost also has a connection to UM, as the teammate of UM offensive lineman signee Jakai Clark at Grayson.

Full cycle? Diaz and his crew have had 3 years. Defensive staff hasn’t changed. They get no pass. They have failed countless times recruiting but people keep hyping up Banda while sh*tting on Rumph. Both have failed along with Patke. Jess is the only one who gets a pass on that side of the ball.

When we lose kids to Alabama, it’s ‘bags’. When we lose them elsewhere, it’s ‘depth chart.’ Once in a while it’s ‘some kids just don’t want to come to UM.’ The common link in all those explanations is it was somehow out of our staff’s control. It’s not us, it’s outside forces. And yet kids go to Alabama despite their depth chart. And they go elsewhere despite not getting Alabama bags.

My suggestion is the other possibility to consider is we aren’t recruiting as well as we should or could.

Could care less about MAR. I don't want another RB. A bit of a wasted scholarship. We've got more than enough. He wouldn't see the field for a few years anyway.

BeastMode said:

I agree but this one thing is about us not wanting him at RB for the last two years. So blame the staff or realize the position he wants to play wasn’t in consideration until a month ago. Blame who you want. Also players are willing to sit at Bama cause they are winning national championships. Players don’t go to 7-6 teams to sit.

a lot of Erickson's classes were ranked in the top 10 and had a ton of misses in them...
