Relationships matter
Man shut the **** up with this week ****, you don’t even know what the **** the conversation was about
What have his recruiting classes been ranked? Not pre season when the overly emotional get carried away. But when the classes are done? How about portal rankings?
That’s why I like it around here. Gotta bring it! We cannot close like we did last year. Period. Something needs to be done. Losing some of the staff we have had hurt relationships also. But teams are coming in hot with cash. And even if we have money, ( we do) we had better scout the plan B kids and know who’s who.
Javian Mallory is from Broward.
lol our stadium will till be empty or half full for most games
South florida kids play most of their hs games in front of under 300 ppl.
They dont care about stadiums.
Yall just want to be in sec to be frontrunners or to claim conference just like the kids yall chastize.
Um recruits top 10 classes regularly so does clemson...what the **** makes yall think the sec patch is gonna make miami some juggernaut?. sh*t hasnt helped out mizzou....but **** we like recruiting guys from VANDY so we may be inline
On the bolded. Thats the problem now always reaching out to ppl who have no clue whats going on NOW. The landscape has changed significantly since butch and jimmy. they havent recruited in decades dont wanna hear it. stop living in the past.
The whole "STATE OF MIAMI" thing is also a myth because Mario isnt recruiting locally as tough as other coaches we previously had. The recruits we are losing are NATIONAL recruits for the most part. The one local priority they are about to lose is Cooper. The Russell's , Lopez. they always were moving from lukewarm to hot in their recruitment fluctuating.
The whole sky is falling of this week is HILARIOUS to me as a recruiting vet. I didnt think we would land ANY of those kids. Cooper as a kid previously that committed to UGA so his willingness to leave s.fla was there already. But he is the lone priority whiff i see. ADD TO IT...WE HAVE A LOCAL RB COMMITTED.
56 Pages later, me thinks D$ is looking for clicks
his dad is a current poster and was in the comments of dmoney last recruiting video.
Dad is a um fan to the level of us obviously lol
They were in on him so much they bagged up Spofford before him. A kid from Mission viejo or wherever that is.
Hes a take but its clear who they prioritize cause when they do guys jump in the boat quick lol
While a lot of things have changed in recruiting, this has been an issue at Miami FOR DECADES. That's why I suggested talking to people that have successfully navigated it. I'm not saying that you can copy and paste what Butch and Jimmy did(You likely can't), but you can take some of the knowledge and apply it to this particular circumstance. Disregarding decades of knowledge and evidence of proof of concept isn't intelligence, it's stupidity masquerading as progressive thought.
Mario is hitting national recruits hard(Which he should, those are the top end recruits willing to at least give him a fair shot) because I personally believe that he's hit the limit of his tolerance with South Florida HS football. Mario is a strong recruiter, but his recruiting style is based on being relentless and brutally honest. While that plays well with kids in Texas, Cali and other places, it doesn't hit nearly as well in Miami, mostly because of the erosion in the culture. We can discuss the sociological reasons, but these families are significantly different from the families that Howard and other Miami coaches had to deal with before.
on your first paragraph its kind of silly to think he doesnt because out of all of our coaches he is likely the most disciple to those two guys. So im sure he is in tune in line and communicates with them. But living in the past is what has us in the 20 years long free fall. Also guys were leaving SOUTH FLORIDA then. The whole difference in demographic in Florida and South florida that differs from the places like Texas for example is............We have FOUR DIFFERENT COLLEGES that have claim to fame of winning a MNC. Texas has won once in my life time...no other school in the entire state has even really been relevant. Our local landscape is filled with fans of the other big 3 schools, its not Bama where the state is split...its not TX where its majority ran by UT with tx am and Oklahoma duking it out for players. EVERY COLLEGE IN AMERICA has to come to FLORIDA To recruit and **** near everyone has a connection on their staff. Add to it we are a private school....similar to usc but...ucla sucks so usc should have carte blanche on most of their local grounds. There are a lot of unique factors in the state...and then you have the state of miami which is a cesspool. (Dade n Broward)
On your second paragraph. Agreed. Me and @DMoney are considered the s.fla homers but even we are in agreement on not having time to play the games with em. Honestly they should of bagged Jae Lamar...but they played cute there. Im not as concerned with the 2nd rb situation as i think they can flip a guy like the kid committed to wisky rather easy.
Mario strength does NOT play well in Texas we arent landing kids from there. He targets a few elite kids from tx yearly but they never come quite frankly its almost a waste of time the way we do it. Im good on scrapping on recruiting tx save for the dallas area. We need to continue with the BISHOP GORMANS (NEVADA)....use his LA Contacts (oaks christian)..we need not go into Mississippi...we need to divert funds into NJ/Phily......THE DMV area...and spend some money in NOLA (lsu wont take everybody) The chicago run was fruitful.
Mario has never signed a single high school recruit from Texas in his time at Miami
Elite!
which is why my answer everytime when folks are screaming we need to be in texas....why? lol
3 of our 4 best players last year were from Texas. My answer is why the **** not?
And Diaz was the DC for 6 recruiting classes.
Mario only gets fired if he goes 7-5 or worse. That would put him at 29-21.
No coach would hold it against us for firing a guy with that record, coming off a 7-5 year, and no CFPs or conference titles.
(For the record I think we go 10-2)
