You’re tryinng too hard to argue, imo. It’s a fact that we’ve had terrible coaches who were bad to mediocre evaluators. I’ve been saying this for decades on these sites. And I have continued to point out, for years, that one implication of this is we’d do better to focus on kids we have more...

Irrelevant to the comparison? I didn’t say this in response to the comparison. I actually responded favorably above on that. i posted this in response to your romello height and SEC comments, which I don’t think help your initial comparison or play in here at all.

Our staff too often tends to be that guy who asks his wife whose car was in the driveway yesterday around lunch and believes her when she says ‘oh, honey, it was just some passerby who was lost and looking for directions.’ Too dumb to even notice the same car has been in the driveway on the...

It’s important to remember that the last 20 years we have had terrible coaches who were bad to mediocre evaluators. The SEC isn’t our issue with rural kids - the SEC comes into Miami and takes kids we want. Height doesn’t tell us anything about generally recruiting rural kids, imo. You can’t...

Lu isn’t saying Rumph is supposed to do this. He’s saying Manny is. Or perhaps James since this sort of process infrastructure really should outlive the HCs who utilize it. And yes, cfb is big business and miami should have these tools in place. They don’t have to be world class at it to...

Recruiting and evaluation failures at this program run from the top. That’s not a defense of rumph, but our problems predate him and go well beyond CB. Rumph can go, imo. The position demands a recruiter. But our eval process has been broken forever.

Blaming the SEC is tiring. When we show we have a competent coaching staff and program, we’ll see what blame there is. When we cannot offer those things, it’s pointless to look outwards for the source of our problems.

Knowing Manny, he’d end up in am alley with a tranny’s **** in his hands. She’d be a ‘10,’ of course.

This. A guy who turns his head at every girl who walks by is going to end up in an alley with a dime store ho. Have some confidence, self-awareness, and standards. In any case, this program wasn’t built on chasing 10s, and no good program does it without a filter. Guys are worried we’ll...

There are talented players all over the map. The key is you have to focus and prioritize. Miami is a credible sell to NY area kids for a few reasons. No issue if they want to try to focus on that. But again, focus. You have to do this consistently, over years. Build relationships with HS...

It’s an interesting discussion. I often disagree with D$ on recruiting discussions because he tends to focus (my sense) on rules (i.e., avoid small town kids) and I tend to focus on judgment (evals) and processes (as my recruiting process thread described back when manny was hired). The link...

@LuCane this is a link to a thread i started right when manny was hired. It touches on all the issues bounced around in this thread. You and me have been focused on data analytics for a long time...

Sigh. I have been yelling at the clouds about evals for 20 years. Our main issue isn’t a lack of data or analytics, though those are issues. The problem is we haven’t had a staff that knows what to look for since butch left.

This is my view and what i’ve been saying. only difference is i think we have no clue on the profiling you mention. like i’d be surprised if we were even close to the mark on this from a capabilities perspective. given that, i’m okay with D$’s suggestion until we figure out a better...

Again, given the number of problems we have to fix in recruiting, I’m generally okay with the idea of your filter on background. You’ve pointed this out for a long time. But to me, it’s a crutch of a rule for a staff that doesn’t know how to evaluate. Give me a Jimmy or Butch (great...

I’m fine with your premise, but imo it’s still about evals. Shockey was a small town kid. Cortez Kennedy was. We can use ‘lenses’ to filter recruiting, but it doesn’t matter if we can’t evaluate kids well enough, and motivate them properly. When I say eval, it includes personality, fit and...
