Shaq was 2nd team all ACC in 2017, and 1st team all-ACC in 2018 and 2019. So you are making things up saying all of them got worse under Diaz. Your best case argument is Pinckney, who was an ACC honorable mention in 2017 and 2018, but looked like he took a step back in 2019- that also...

Not a take. Don't want players that fall asleep on the field.

The Kiss of Death

Here's another fact- the LB coach that LSU had when were national champs is long gone. LSU replaced Aranda with Pelini who they fired after a 5-5 season to hire the bum LB coach at Miami that 1) got demoted 2) could not recruit LBs because recruits knew Baker was horrible and they didn't want...

And Miami can point to the fact that LSU's recent LB success occurred when either Bo Pelini was the DC/LB coach or before that, Dave Aranda was the DC/LB coach. One of those two is a former HC and the other is currently a HC. Blake Baker got demoted from his DC/LB coach job at Miami and the...

Blake Baker selling LSU's LB performance compared to Miami is the equivalent of someone farting silently, then moving a few feet away and pointing at a random person in the previous area and blaming it on them.

A reasonable take. Boo this man. There is no room for that kind of rational view here.

In light of the new information, my comment has been stricken from the record.

Is everyone forgetting that Miami signed a top 10 class in 2021? (Rivals #10, #11 247)? You think they suddenly forgot how to recruit or got worse after ditching Baker and adding T-Rob and Aristide? It's amazing how people can create their own fake narratives. "Miami can't recruit!" We...

Can't believe Diaz didn't try to offer a package deal that included his little brother, DeLuigi Tolan. Bush league recruiting

I think Miami gets WB and Jackson. The last time Miami thought it landed 3 elite LBs, one of them turned out to be Zach McCloud. If it makes you feel better, if Tolan ends up at LSU, just think of him as the McCloud of the class.

Blake Baker: "Why would you want to go to Miami? The last couple of years it looked like their DC was mildly retarded and their LBs were totally lost all the time." Tolan: "Hey, wait a minute.... Weren't you the DC and LB coach at Miami the last couple of years?" Blake Baker: "Uhhhhh...

I am not taking anything away from Hartley. I wish he was still on staff for recruiting. I was reading an interview with Hedley and he said that when he told his friends he wanted to play college football, they told him he should play for Miami (he wanted tropical weather like Bali) and he was...

Hedley wanted to come to Miami one way or another so Rumph probably could have landed him. I think Patke was involved with both Borreagles (but who knows how it works with transfers) 247 says Patke went up to NY to recruit JHH, so I guess its up to you whether you believe it or not...

He also recruited Huff (offers from Bama, UF, Penn State, Texas) JHH Sam Brooks Borreagles Hedley (the latter two may be the best in the country at their respective positions) When you add Smith to that list, he seems to be a competent recruiter.

According to 247, Patke was the primary recruiter for Chase Smith, who I think is going to be an outstanding player. That kid had offers from a lot of high profile programs.

Miami's eval and development of Flagg was good. 3 star recruit looked natural at MLB and dropping 20 lbs in the offseason should help with the speed concerns, the rest of the LB recruits unfortunately look like misses although there is still time for Brooks, Huff, and TAC to improve. IMO...
