Still top 5, somewhere between 3-5, behind Cali and Texas.

In no way shape or form is Miami in the position to be focused solely on swinging for the fences by chasing "1 and done" kids. We don't have the foundation or roster depth to do that. Miami's focus should be on getting the most talented players they can and just stack chips. We've currently got...

Funny thing is Damari is 1 of 3 players from the state of Florida currently on the ETSU roster, in which 2 are starters. That's 3 more than what we have at Miami.... LOL. This narrative of Florida not producing Division I basketball players needs to stop. People have got to stop living in the...

Just another example of this staff sleeping at the wheel

Another example of fsu beating us to the punch with kids in our own backyard. Top freshmen in Miami, possibly all of South Florida and his first offer comes from the school in trailerhassee.

You're full of excuses for this staff's shortcomings. Don't be a staff slurper. Try being a little objective.

There are plenty of mid-majors around the country that don't have 9 in-state players on their roster. Division I schools certainly have choices from where to pluck players. You seem to be the one not paying attention. Maybe, just maybe the reason FGCU does a better job of recruiting in state is...

FGCU also helps to prove my point. FGCU's 4 leading scorers in today's win over Miami are all from Florida (born & raised). LOL!!!

Again, I only bring up Coach Ham and fsu to show that a Florida program can have success recruiting in-state players. There's a myriad of reasons why Miami hasn't had the same success as fsu in recent years.

I think you're missing the point I'm trying to make. I'm not at all saying Miami shouldn't work their connections up north. Milk that cow dry. All I'm saying is if you're going up there for 3 & 4-star caliber prospects why not give the kids down here their shot as well? Why aren't our kids good...

IMG and Montverde are "pro incubators that happen to be in FL" but a 2nd year coach at Michigan comes down here and signs their 2 top prospects who happen to be top 20 players nationally? That don't make much sense to me. Perhaps, just perhaps Miami's staff needs to do a better job of recruiting...

That's part of the frustration with this coaching staff, they're not going after a lot of the top players. I can't speak on every top prospect from Florida, but I can attest that there are far too many who Miami either didn't offer or offered them at the last hour. Every night this week there...

Scottie was born and raised in South Florida. He went to Montverde for his senior year. If he's not considered local or in-state, I don't know what to tell ya. And although Montverde isn't in tri-county area, it's still in Florida and any way you look at it this staff has done a poor job...

Agreed. I just used fsu as an example to show that you can win with in-state kids. There are a lot of kids playing around the country who would've helped Miami, but this coaching staff chose to go another route. I've said it before IF Coach L is serious about recruiting in FL than he can start...

I don't think any one school is building a pipeline for players. Blue bloods will usually have their shot at All-Americans, but I think fsu has shown that in-state schools can get first dibs on local talent if they do it right. Coach L was able to keep Dewan home. Don't understand why it can't...

I hear you but that can't be a reason. Sounds like a cheap excuse if that's what they're saying. This coaching staff has got to do a better job of laying the ground work early with in-state recruits. Far too many times they come in at the 11th hour and expect to sign kids off sheer name alone...

Raiquan Gray (Dillard), Scottie Barnes (Newman 9th, University 10-11th, Montverde 12th grade), Balsa Koprivica (University 8th-10th, Montverde 11-12th grade), and Anthony Polite (St. Andrew's) are all starters and products of South Florida basketball.

Fair weather? Now, that's funny! :ROFLMAO: Listen, I've been a fan since the days of Dennis Burns, Eric Brown and Kevin Presto. I wasn't alive when Rick Barry was around or I'd have been a fan since then. I love the Canes. To the core, but this coaching staff has been big timing local high...

That's no longer the case. We're a long ways from the days of New York being the mecca for HS basketball. The northeast still produces great players, but it is not the basketball hotbed it once was. The rest of the country has caught up and in some instances has overtaken the NYC stronghold...

It's disappointing to turn on the television and see #20 ranked fsu having success with 4 players from South FL in their starting 5. In total they have 7 kids from Florida, while UM has 0 players from South Florida and just 1 in-state player who transferred from Michigan to Montverde for his...
