What I understood from this thread is, that after Elijah wins the Heisman this year, he's going to recruit Jeremiah Smith to play with him next season.
**** yeah! His poor dime piece he was with had to be getting aggravated with all that. By the time he took a picture with our kids as they were leaving, she looked like she was ready to get the **** out of there stat
Werent we recruting him to be a safety?
Yes, of course I can see that, I’m not an idiot. We all know that NIL currently is basically pay for play but moving forward, they will have to show that it’s true NIL and not pay for play. But your original post made it seem like NIL won’t be able to be used anymore because of the house settlement and that’s all I was questioning because that’s not true. And for the most part, Miami’s NIL, is actually true NIL compared to a lot of other programs.
Not sure if y’all remember Jeremy Finch from 2007ish. He was a highly rated Safety that went to Florida before he got kicked off. That’s JJ Finch’s Dad. Im from Indianapolis and see him play a few times. Very good player
Coach O needs to stop skipping Leg Day too!!!!
He definitely skips leg day. But as you can see, the other picture shows the same outfit, not photo shopped
Can't tell if this is serious or sarcasm?

Yeah…that was during the UiF tailgate in the parking lot that TOC organized. Our crew is in the background tailgating. D$ and Mike Ryan were there as well…no photoshop.
To the Columbus Mafia; MC couldn’t win with the #1 overall offense, #1 QB, #1 overall NFL draft pick and can’t finish in top 5 recruiting. I ask, where are we going, what are we doing?
I think it’s a bad angle. Phones do that these days
Why chicks take angle pics like that it makes them look thinner
Question for you because I know you are versed in interpreting these rulings better than I would be. Do you feel that the House settlement ultimately forced the NCAA to now bloat in their oversight and infractions arm? I know the plan is to outsource the review of the NIL deals to Deloitte, I think I saw. But how many more jobs are going to be needed to actually enforce this new model and how are they going to be able to have a budget for that? It seems like to me the first few times a school from the big 2 conferences gets slapped or denied things they are just going to say the **** with you all, we fund you to begin with, we don't need you and can set up our own model.
This seems like life support methodology by them instead of a real lasting approaching of any significance. Maybe I'm looking at it incorrectly?
So what the consensus on the factors that keep us out of that top group each year? There are always a handful of teams we’ll never catch because they have too many 5*, crazy high average ratings, etc.
Our head coach was hired because he can recruit and build the lines, if nothing else. I’m not down on him, I’m just asking what will get us over the hump.
Is it simply lack of recent success? Or do we not have the $ to get into that top group? Is our staff very good but not great at recruiting? Do we not have the following to incentivize the recruiting services to bump our guys? I’m guessing some combo but curious what those in the know thing.
Again, we’ve done well. I’m not arguing we haven’t. We’re certainly in it for more whales than before, and we’ve landed some monsters. But we’re not regularly loading up on the elite guys like the top schools that always seem to be in that top 5 area.
Can we get there? Is it a matter of time, or is that probably not in the cards for us for some reason(s).
Hopefully fixing defense & special teams. A great qb can't cover for all that by himself.
Again, I'll go easy on you. I never said that NIL "won't be able to be used anymore". And I agree, Miami's NIL is one of the best constructed programs in the country.
What I was actually saying, though, was that you could construct an "old-fashioned" deal NOW, that does not have to be "approved" or "reported" under the eventual framework....while the "future" is somewhat murky as to how everything will work, and whether the same amount of NIL and/or TOTAL money will be available.
That's it. Take the "known quantity" now, or roll the dice in the future. No big deal, I'm not mad about it, I just try to be careful to say the words I mean, nothing more, nothing less.
All good.
I was probably just outside the range of the camera shot, telling the millionth Gator fan to "**** off" for parking, we bought the whole lot, even if some people had not yet arrived.
******* losers...
I think it simply comes down to Miami not being in the SEC or Big Ten. Miami and Clemson are 1A and 1B when it comes to recruiting rankings for teams outside the P2. I think Mario is doing the best job he can do recruiting wise as it pertains to Miami still being in the ACC. It's just a hard sell to the top recruits to not play in the SEC or Big Ten.
