Dan Morgan was one of the best LBs I ever saw. Ray Lewis was simply the best defensive player of all time, any level, any position, ever. From the day he walked onto the field at UM. And the best on-field leader of players on a football team, ever, as well.

Who here contends there aren’t kids from outside of So Fla who can go on to have great careers? No one, is the answer. The rosters of NFL and other top cfb teams are full of players from beyond so fla. The debate should be about recruiting PRIORITIES and FOCUS. Those kids from elsewhere who...

Monster awards and best player are not the same thing. I’d take ray lewis anywhere and everywhere at UM over Morgan. And i have huge respect for Morgan. But Ray Lewis is the best defensive player of all time, full stop. He left UM as a junior, and played when we were under sanctions, so it...

Hence my point. Recruiting jucos is not like recruiting hs kids, as far as process and focus. Smaller pool, most not fla schools, you’ve seen them as college players, you figure out your needs near term more than long term with them. Can’t take that many, either, in the new era of no oversigning.

I disagree completely. The discussion isnt some hypothetical about whether there could be kids outsode of Florida who could play at Miami. Of course there are. We all understand that. The question for Miami is what should we actually do in recruiting. Like, where should we focus and...

Didnt he come to us as a juco?

Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy are going to make a lot more money from the NFL than they made from Alabama. Some of our fans are pretty much in denial here. Quit with the bag whining until we can demonstrate that we are a credible option. If we demonstrate overall program stability and...

Well, then that post was wrong. Let’s walk before we run. Demonstrate coaching competency, S&C competency, amd recruiting competency.

You are thinking about this wrong. For local kids, they have to first decide if they want to come to UM. If not, perhaps a bag is the difference between Alabama and UGA. Gotta have so,e basis to decide, and bags clear markets. But that doesn’t mean UM had to match the offer. Maybe for some...

You’re moving the goalposts. We’ve had more than enough talent to win a lot more than we have. That is a fact and the nfl rosters prove it. And if we’d won to our talent level, we’d have won enough to have gotten more top talent, which would have enabled more winning. That’s how this works...

That was the excuse back when Coker/Shannon were here. We’re recruiting the guys who want to be here, eff eeryone else. How’d that work for them? We need to recruit competitively, and win battles. And evaluate well. And play well on field. Get the best players. Don’t shy away from losing...

L.M.A.O. @ “silent commitment.” If our staff still believes in that, they also believe in the tooth fairy. ‘Silent commitment’ is something invented to excite message board posters.

Keep in mind, Rumph apparently didn’t know that his own son was going to take a bag. I suspect what people really want here is for us to stop losing kids to Alabama and UGA, and their proposed solution isn’t to win more recruiting battles, but rather to stop recruiting kids who those schools...

That would change things I guess. Maybe. Nnot sure how the release rules work.

Great. Let’s add Iran to the recruiting priority list also. Sounds like a strategy!

DJ and KWII were TOP national recruits. We’d ALWAYS take those kids. Shockey, McDougle were jucos. Totally different discussion. We SHOULD take more jucos. Portis was a no brainer. Florida kid with tremendous talent who would have gone to UF if they’d offered him at RB. Simple evaluation...

If the only point here is don’t fawn over kids who will take bags, then it’s easy to agree, assuming you can know. But that isn’t an argument for natonal vs. local. Because there are plenty of local kids who we can and should recruit who aren’t going to UGA. If the argument is basically...

Better coaching. Our players have been much better than our results for a long time. Hence why Um still has so many guys in the nfl despite sucking for so long. Sure, also avoid dead wood and empty spots on the roster. But that is about coaching effort primarily, as Manny is showing. The...

The ridiculous nonsense is that Banda recruited guys who werren’t interested, I guess. It’s not the job of kids to tell the staff not to recruit them. Our staff has to prioritize.

That’s just not how life works. The kids want to listen. They grew up here. But then they think. Not their fault UM’s administration hired for incompetents as head coaches since these kids were born.
