I like Gordinier, but let's see him play. I think he could end up at DE in a 4/3/.
 
Not many "hidden gems" in this day & age of recruiting. Butch was able to find them 25 years ago.
 
80% of the roster should be from south Florida. You save the other 20% for the elite players in other states. Half of Miami's best players ever hailed from states not named Florida. It's a long list which is why we shouldn't bd so closed minded in thinking we can sign 25 guys from south Florida every and expect to win a championship. We have to add to the south Florida recruit base with elite talent from elsewhere. It's a proven method that has worked in the past.

Not from South Florid:
Raw Lewis
Warren Sapp
Clinton Portis
Ed Reed
Reggie Wayne
Jeremy Shockey
Kellen Winslow
Dan Morgan
Jessie Armstead
DJ Williams
Colin McCarthy etc.. etc.. There are a number of UM Greats not from South Florida.

Yeah I meant to say 80% from Florida in general and 20% from other states

The original Schnellenburger Line was a diagonal line from Daytona over to Tampa then south..

More than half of the first rounders this year were three stars or below. They are there if you can find them.
 
The 2001 team 70% of the starters were not from South Florida. OOS on that team, Reed, Dorsey, Sievers, Capshaw, Shockey, McKinnie, Bibla, Lewis, Campbell, DJ, J Green, Jones. So 50% were from OOS.

^^^^ which is why we need to bring in more studs national like we have in the past to add to our base in the whole state of Florida

I don't give a **** where a player comes from.... if they can play then they can play. We have had plenty of great players in the past from both South Florida and other parts of the country. I just don't buy into the card that where a recruit comes from determines the worth/talent

Don't get me wrong, we should focus on recruits from Florida because it is proven that getting recruits from your own state/city is much easier than getting recruits from other parts of the country. But I just think it's funny how people think players from South Florida have some mysterious, supernatural power that somehow makes them better at football than from other parts of the country.

I think what D Money is saying is supplement a stud from South Florida with an underrated stud from South Florida. For example, Andre Johnson and Roscoe Parrish.

Then, go OOS to get someone like DJ Williams and Kellen Winslow.

People keep saying that recruiting is totally different than it was 20 years ago, and to be honest, isn't only slightly different because of the increase coverage. The best players are still in the South, and they are still in South Florida like they've always been.
 
Ridiculous, utopian bull**** from d ummy once again.

Oh and way to **** on a kid that will be a red shirt freshman next year. Tasteless and classless to boot.

Don't compare Gordnier until he actually plays this year. The same way you guys gave Njoku as he redshirted. Something about Jaime makes me think he's going to be a player. We forget all about him Perry and Patchan
Amen to the soon to be beast...
 
Cortez Kennedy, Jerome Brown, Russell Maryland, Rusty Medearis, Darren Krein, Allen Bailey, Pat Riley, Don Latimer, Eddie Edwards, Rubin Carter, Jim Burt, Daniel Stubbs, Damione Lewis, Jamal Green, Andrew Williams, etc.....

And those are just some DL from outside of south Florida off the top of my head....

Most get what he is saying (because he says it in every thread and post), but the problem is that it is not always that simple. As Andrew stated, it takes the ability to evaluate......otherwise with this philosophy misapplied you end up with the South Florida QB tandem of Winky Flowers and Treon Harris as quarterbacks, not defensive backs, instead of Kaaya and Rosier as a quick example of we don't need to leave South Florida in 2015 for any position on the field.

Go to New Jersey for a freak like David Njoku. Don’t go to New Jersey for Jamie Gordinier.

Gordinier was the same 3-star, went to a larger school in a tougher division, went to a school that's typically ranked higher, and had better offers than Njoku.

Njoku was a NJ high jump champion (to your point on athleticism), but there was never a clear indicator as to who would be more successful at the college level. One could even argue that Gordinier was seen as the better pure football player.

Kaaya is the type of player you go out of state for. I've been driving his bandwagon since the very beginning: https://www.canesinsight.com/thread/brad-kaaya/51911?highlight=newyorkcane+kaaya

Rosier, in my opinion, is an example of leaving the state when there are better local options. Winky Flowers can do everything Rosier can do at quarterback and is a better athlete. I would have preferred to pair Kaaya with Flowers and then tried to move Flowers to safety once Kaaya beat him out.

I agree with you, but Rosier was offered because of baseball.

We need updates on guys like these. I'm sure some have potential.
