Agreed... but at what point do they let our front four do that without blitzing? Manny and Baker are still enamored with their blitzes. That aside, I agree with you in the trenches but you still have to have some talent at CB and regardless of scheme, the goal should be maximizing talent at...

Relying on a kid from Pensacola usually is not the best idea for Miami...

I obviously wish PS2 came here, but neither of them had a top 38, 25 edits, changing top 5 lists, multiple commits/decommits, or much in the way of interviews. No problem with any kid taking his full amount of time to make the right decision for himself. Truthfully, I wish every kid handled...

I get it, but that defensive backfield was actually pretty good too. But that aside, recruiting stud DTs should not mean you don’t pursue the best cornerbacks, or linebackers, or safeties, that you possibly can.

My main concern with that is he would leave after the early signing day. So you’re going to try to get kids to sign with a coach they may not know and the kids that guy recruited may very well already have signed elsewhere. This is not even mentioning the fact that kids can’t visit. It is a...

I hope so, but this isn’t exactly a one year aberration that got us into this situation. It is years of this happening and gross negligence.

I guess the next part that makes no sense is turnovers were such a huge part of our best Manny defenses and are the ultimate havoc play. But he is essentially conceding that now with the lack of tight coverage and what you are describing. You would think the ideal situation would be the havoc...

I have a question, and I think it is going to get a shrug response. So lately there have been a few threads with what MD has always looked for at the CB position - specifically, a guy who can set the edge and tackle. Which really means he deemphasizes the importance of the position as a whole...

Was mentioned by someone on another thread that he is headed SEC, even if no offers now. I can’t say I disagree that it seems like if he was going either here or to VT, he’d be committed by now.

Agree 100% - I posted that same thought and sentiment just as you were posting yours. These guys are paid well in a results driven business. Do the job you were hired to do. No excuses in this recruitment.

The bottom line is like most things in life, the reality is somewhere in the middle. Part of it is on Rumph - he objectively is not a good enough recruiter and has yet to develop a CB into a top 3 round pick. That is a tough combination when you are not only going against bags, but coaches...

I had a whole response typed out, and deleted it because honestly, 1) I don't actually care. I hope Rumph develops Ivey and Blades into first round picks and gets the credibility he needs to recruit and 2) I remembered who I was responding to and do not want to continue down the path I see...

I do not think it is just the missing on the 5* guys. I get why we didn't land Surtain or Campbell. It is consistently missing on the next tier of guys that is more concerning. Our CB board has generally been small, has had little consistency in what we are looking for, a lot of late offers...

I don't think anyone is refusing the acknowledge what happened with Marshall, but that is the reality with top prospects and somehow we were able to overcome it with Taylor and Williams. That aside, the issue in past years was not just missing on the Surtain, Campbell, etc. It was the fact...

I think part of it is not just who we bring in, but how we bring them in. Whether it is Rumph, Diaz, Baker, our CB board is always a mess. If and when we strike out on the local five stars, there is no backup plan. We have some nice players, but numbers are low and we have lost out on guys...

I’ve learned to read between the lines with you my friend! Maybe I’m still learning hahaha

Well that doesn’t sound promising. Unreal that we again find ourselves in this spot at CB.

These ****** will probably put all of their eggs, bacon, bagels, milk, cheese, and the live chickens in this guy’s basket.
