4-star OL Sutton details how UM landed in his top 7, set for summer decision

[CaneDog66]

Those kids may have been in lock step but the 10-win season kept them on the dotted line. We haven’t signed an 8th ranked recruiting class before that since what, 2008? And we haven’t had one since. I’d say winning very much has a factor on kids. Look at today’s UA event, even Collins etc. admit we need to show more winning to get those elite kids.

Idk you tell me?

but strange how our best season in over a decade netted us our best class.

Hmmm makes you wonder

But it didn’t. Once again, we had a Top 5 class going *into* the season. The 2018 season did nothing for us.

ooooo

but do you remember the 2017 season? What happened? 9 wins (should have been 10 with a win over FSU) oh and our first bowl game win since 2006?

hmm sounds like Winning momentum... and a 2018 season that lead to everyone thinking things were going upward (early on)

These kids want to know their gonna be on
1) good competitive teams (no one wants to play for a loser or middle of the road team that loses to basketball schools)

2) make the **** NFL While maximizing their talent to project highly in the draft

3) academics

4)relationships with coaches

It's not just kids love unc. Its kids loving the brand Jordan and them getting gear.

We need to jump ship or actually get real gear from Adidas and not the mom and pop look

 

[Paranos]

We need to hit up Trinity Catholic for another OT.

Caleb Johnson & Garner Langlo are two very good OT's.

They looked a little suspect at the Orlando Rivals camp (defensive camp advantage withstanding)

It's interesting that Sports Illustrated picked Johnson's best reps to highlight for their cough cough Notre Dame readers. Where as the Rivals video shows a different body of work for Johnson.

Notre Dame offered Florida offensive tackle Caleb Johnson, and Brian Smith goes in the film room to evaluate his game.

how much of that class was locked up by September 1? Before the 10 win team ever even played a game.

We finished with the previous season on a five game-winning streak, as opposed to the annual collapse.

This one stings. Visited us unofficially how many times and was set for a decision this summer, then commits to UNC the beginning of March. Man they’re gonna be a pain in the ***. Already are on the trail.

2nd year bump. Competitive in most games especially Clemson. Dominating bowl game win.QB that other players want to play with. Top notch facilities

Where's our 2nd year bump?

The first year was an abject failure. Convincing King to come here was a major coup.

So winning 5 games in a row with a December bowl is what propelled us to a Top 10 class by July?

Yes. It’s easy to build momentum at Miami when you don’t end the season with a string of humiliating losses.

Unfortunately, with one exception, we have collapsed late every year since 2004.
