Yes. But just so you know, I've been consistent over the past couple years, probably to the point of being annoying, that top 5 classes are where I set the bar for success. We may well land there if Blount signs. I hope so.

Both of those things IMO. In my eyes he's the 2023 version of Andre Johnson, and the fact that we didn't land him is a reminder of how this program has fallen in the last 20 years, even though I really do think we're on the right path upward. But Andre Johnson signed here, and Jeremiah Smith...

I might have to eat a double portion of crow if Miami can pull off that miracle, let's hope so.

Yeah, that's a good way to look at it.

We'll just have to see how it plays out at this point. Keep recruiting other pieces.

Smith and Ladson aren't in the same league. Smith is the highest rated receiver prosepect in South Florida history. Ladson was a 5-star but there are different tiers of 5-star, and people were questioning him even in high school.

I think we're on a good trajectory. I think people are misconstruing what I'm saying because I can compartmentalize two different things - on the one hand, this is a good class and I'm happy with it. It gets us closer to being that 10 win team you speak of which will then put us in a better...

OK, let's pull on this thread. So what you're saying is he believes in OSU's ability to develop him but not Miami's. He believes in Hartline but not Beard. That's still on Miami because Miami hired Beard... this is the man they chose to represent the U and bring to the knife fight against...

I didn't say you were a troll, I just said I didn't know you. That wasn't meant to be offensive. I'm sure you're a good guy and people here seem to respect you, and I'm sure you've earned that. Don't be offended just because I don't blindly trust what you say, since I've never met you before.

Still waiting for the proof. What did I miss?

Yes, exactly. And I'm not saying our class is bad. It's a pretty good class if not great. I'm just saying it's not elite and national championship caliber. It's no insult to Miami to say that we haven't reached the top of the mountain yet in recruiting, but that we're improving and...

You can choose to believe internet gossip, and I will choose to remain skeptical. We might be paying more, we might not. But you're stating it like it's an evidenced fact and it isn't. The only facts we have are who signed where. So your strongest argument is actually the fact that we signed...

Fair enough.

Could have offered a bigger bag. Everyone has a price.

I don't know you, so I have no idea what you'd know. Maybe you know what you're saying is fact, maybe not, I wouldn't have any idea.

I agree with the second part. It's IMO the biggest recruiting miss in the last 20 years or so, but I think the class is good enough, paired with last year's class, to improve Miami on the field in the coming years. I don't see us staying a 7 win team for long. This is shaping up to be a good...

No it doesn't "work both ways." He made a claim, it's up to him to prove his claim.

God **** son, take it down a peg. Two threads is not "everywhere," and calmly stating the truth is not "*****ing." Also I didn't start this discussion, as I said, I just responded to it. Get a hold of yourself.

Prove this. Where is the evidence that Miami offered more than Ohio State?

Don't start threads like this dunking on me before the ink is dry if you don't want to hear what I have to say. I posted in this thread first that I was ready to eat my crow if I was wrong... turned out I had the right read back in the summer. I was ready to take my L if I was wrong...
