Yes, today when were coming out of Covid and Air Canada will take pocket change. Flights are cheap correct. All these fact checkers, **** man, it's expensive if the kid goes to Miami for school for his family period, and not so much to U-M, that's my points gawwwd Man, I'm gonna stop posting...

Toledo actually recruits Ontario pretty hard. They had the number one tackle in Canada out of my class that year Kenny Hobbins, the guy was 6'8" 330 lbs and played basketball. He got homesick and was lazy to begin with, the next year he was literally bagging groceries back in his hometown.

He was out of canada at the age of 14 and went to prep school on the east coast and treated it like business since day 1. He's an outlier. Notice Isiah has Michigan on there, just wait and watch. I hope we get him and I want Miami too, would make me proud, I'm just saying Michigan is a 6 hour...

I would imagine Miami is as well and don't doubt it, I was just trying to make a point that a kid from Nebraska, is just used to certain way of life and coming to Miami (this doesn't mean the players on the team are bad people or not inclusive) is different. There's always an adjustment, but...

Those are some good ones, funny part about that, Ben... born in Jamaica! Same with Donovan Bailey haha

You dont read the whole thread or sentence, but you're right, we should recruit hard because we got 3 players from canada, which you describe as one singular region, 3 players in the past 30 years.

At no point did I say that's what happened at Miami, and you're just posting to post now and saying cliche things, which is fine. I'm was only stating the fact that fitting in, in general is tough, and that part of the visiting the school, etc. Was also saying that a kid from Canada, might...

Just passing on information. This was in 2007 2008 ish. I agree, that it wasnt the kid, but the teammate and tema culture in general. That was the point entirely. I hope its changed but I'm sure that uncomfortaility still exists, or just lack of coexistence.

I hear ya, all depends on the kid. I'm going from history. Toronto is just as big as Miami, so I don't think he'll have a problem with the city and all that. I think South Florida is the the only place east of Texas and south of Ohio that makes it an easy transition. Cosmopolitan place. I was...

Orlando Franklin is from Scarborough, a community is Toronto and hes a great human being as wlel, helped that football community a lot. Robede, transferred to the powerhouse of Laval in university, was a complete monster, I heard stories that the guy was just a complete brawler literslly, would...

No I'm well aware, eastern canada or more specially the 401 corridor, I.e. windsor/detroit to quebec city, is the hub of the country and culturally ain't that far off, quebec city being the different one, is the French stronghold. Just making a point, that culture fit is a thing and when other...

I wouldn't spend much time going after him, it's the culture shock. An example when I played college ball up here, we had a QB from Montreal, he's black(important for the story) hes name was Wayne Desmond, so I think he was Jamaican, we had a bunch of of guys from Jamican, Haiti and Barbados on...

Let me do some digging. There hasn't been any organized ball in Canada for over a year now. Off the hop kids from Toronto don't go far. Think northeast, Michigan and Penn State are the big pulls here and close. That TE last year, those were the two main schools for a reason. We're liberal here...
