lol Mario is a very strange coach. He’s been around this **** for a while and why he always has this false sense of confidence on a bunch of high profile players after official visits is exhausting. I know he wins recruiting battles, but my god why does seem like he’s always getting fooled. There’s no way you should feel overly confident in the NIL era. On any player
Exactly. It right where I expected. Most of this is known unless you are gullible sunshine pumper. Miami is going to land some elite kids. Some they won’t. In NIL it’s hard to call anything a whiff.

True. Outside of Maugoia & Bain we've gotten almost nothing outside of tiny flashes from Damari & Popo. Thank God we got a handful of contributors from the 2022 transition class. But no doubt the 2024 kids + Beck will determine how far we go. I can also see a handful of the 2025 freshman helping us immediately (Toney, Lowe, Schott, Wiley come to mind).
Yesterday price isn’t today’s price
Lol.. Its July 2nd and we're already in the "flip em before signing day" stage.
All that's left is "we're saving for the portal".
Just a warning to the portal defenders out there, the portal is going to be waaaay down moving forward.
Players who transfer will have to give up large NIL deals that were grandfathered in. Any NIL deal over $600 will have to be approved by the clearinghouse.
Assuming they still want to transfer...
SEC revenue sharing contracts have a "first right of refusal" clause, which allows them to match a higher offer if they receive one from another school.
The SEC won't be the only conference with that clause. So we REALLY need to take care of business with our high school targets.

The whole win a lot of games and we will flip later strategy seems irresponsible, but makes perfect sense for Miami. Until we are out of the ACC most of the high end talent is a pipe dream.
Yeah, but this is real life now. In every pro league, at any given moment, the guy who signed a contract "more recently" might be making more than a guy who has been around longer. Michael Jordan was rarely the highest paid NBA player.
Too many people (mostly from other team websites) have built a whole mythology around college football players being "resentful" of the contracts the freshmen get. But it's no different than any other situation in the sports world. If college players REALLY were so resentful about how much they are being paid annually, I guarantee it won't be any better in the NFL. ****, in the NFL, most of the team should hate the QB.
I'm not D$, but it's not hurting Clemson at all.
They're recruiting at an Elite level & are ACC to the bone.
I don't think kids care that much about it as people like to think.
If being in the SEC or B1G was really this major recruiting advantage, then South Carolina, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Mizzou, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois & Michigan ST would also be recruiting powerhouses, but for some odd reason they're not.
People conflate invidual program success for conference success.
UGA, Bama, OH ST etc.. are not elite programs because of the conference they play in, they're elite because they spend a ton of money & win a lot.
Washington is in the B1G, have they seen a huge spike in their recruiting?
Oklahoma is on their 3rd class since joining the SEC, their class rankings have been, 8th, 17th & currently have the 38th ranked class in the country. Before joining the SEC Oklahoma was an absolute recruiting juggernaut. It's a small sample size by comparison, but they absolutely recruited way better in the Big XII than they have in the SEC thus far.
And it's not as if Miami is sitting at 15 right now, we currently have the #6 class & by NSD will sign several more prospects.
The best schools that recruit at an Elite level do so irregardless of their conference.

Clemson has been out recruiting us the last serval years?
The Bank:
“I can see Miami getting Cooper, Kolojay, Turner, and Stewart done soon”
The Staff:
As always, the success of the program will be determined by the success on the field.
Should have won the ACC last year. HAVE to win it now this year.

Not by class rankings.
But by evaluations & on field performances, absolutely.
They literally won their 9th ACC title last year (in the Dabo era), made it to the playoffs & it was still considered a down year for them.
Meanwhile at Miami...
In terms of overall talent I agree with your point, but when looking at the guys rated top 5 in their positions the overwhelming majority are signed to P2 conferences.
Right, but that's because they have the most teams & the teams who tend to be the best at recruiting are mostly in those conferences.
Okay, I'll put it like this:
Do you (or anybody) think that if Bama, or UGA, or Ohio ST, suddenly left their conferences & went to the ACC or Big XII that their recruiting would fall off a cliff?
I mean, Texas had top 5 classes when they were in the Big XII, they went to the SEC & are still getting top 5 classes, so what exactly changed?
Notre Dame recruits at an Elite level, what conference are they in?
I'll do you one better...
Do you think teams like VA Tech, or Pitt would suddenly start recruiting at a high level if they went to the B1G or SEC?
Ten win and showed that we can win even though we fell short, and we still can’t crack the next tier in recruiting. It just shows it’s the same schools regardless of NIL, I have given up that we will win a natty one day. We can be just good that’s it.
