A few things

Dixon was the only guy who we really thought would be ours. Pelon never indicated he was coming here at all, that was always going to be a tough pull. Cook was a pipe dream, and the only reason we got a serious look was because of his friendship with Yearby, but they kid has seemed all along like he wanted to be anywhere but Miami.

IMO its much more important we keep Valentine, Kaaya, get Griffin qualified, and find another safety.

If we can add a kid like Hester, or JC, and keep what we have, this will still be an EPIC class. Would be great if we found a late JUCO kid at DT, but what can we do. Maybe we can still sway CJ to take the freaking online course. But what can we do about something like that? If a kid is that lazy, then what else can we really do?

Look, we knew all along that the closing of recruiting season was going to rough, since there wasnt much left on the table for us to add, and it would be a fight to hold the kids we do have. We have a MONSTER class right now, but we lined it up early, so it was bound to be anti-climatic.

People are sleeping on some of the studs we have. Courtel Jenkins is going to be a MONSTER IMO. Brady is a kid who many feel has the most upside of ANY of the receivers we have been after, including Dixon and Lane. Valentine is a MONSTER and if we keep him, he is going to be rocking it next year. Our OL class is the envy of the nation. Chad Thomas is going to be a beast here. Joe Yearby is an elite RB, and if Duke is healthy, and Gus gets another year of Utough and working on getting better, Duke, Yearby, and Gus will be a very strong running stable. IF we can get Griffin qualified, that will be a major boost.

Yes it would be nice to add a little more icing on the cake, but lets NOT for one moment overlook what a GREAT class this is. The biggest concern right now should be holding what we got, and making sure they qualify.

lol @ calling it a "moster class."

South Florida is more loaded than usual this year and we have 30 spots open. That's the only reason we're ranked high. Randy Shannon could have had just as high rated a class if he were still here this year, that's how loaded it is this year.

Who are the top kids in South Florida this year?

1. Chad Thomas - Cane
2. Sony Michel - MISS
3. Dalvin Cook - MISS
4. Treon Harris - MISS
5. Travis Rudolph - MISS
6. Joe Yearby - Cane
7. KC McDermott - Cane
8. Ermon Lane - MISS
9. Johnnie Dixon - MISS
10. JC Jackson - Maybe


We are missing out on an EPIC year in south florida, the most loaded year in a long long time. We only have 3 out of the top 10 kids committed.

That's not ******* acceptable. Al Golden does not get a ******* pat on the back for that.

He needs to close the deal on 7 or 8 of these kids, that's it.

Then go find a new team to "support" since you live in delusion. NO coach would be pulling all of those kids while still rebuilding, having a 10 year history of mediocrity, and coming off of 3 years of sanctions. Even if we had been winning for the past decade getting 7-8 of those kids would be a masterful and amazing recruiting job.

Four of the top ten (if we get Jackson) would be one of our best hauls from south Florida since 1983 or 1984.

The problem is many of these "fans" live in a fantasy world of delusion where UM has always swept up 80% of the top talent in South Florida on a yearly basis. Of course, those of us who have been fans for decades know the reality. Even in the heydays that was not the case. But it's a convenient excuse to attack Golden.

Dixon didn't commit. Maybe he surpirses everyone and comes to Miami, but it's not looking that way is it?

Doesn't matter if we offered Treon at QB, he's still a top 5 kid and him not coming here but going to FSU is a miss.

Those other kids you mentioned are good prospects but not the top 10 kids in South Florida. I'm going by rivals and not Miami fanboy bent logic.
Click to expand...

Lol ok so you go by rivals fine. Lets take another angle.

247 top ten prospects in south Florida

1. Cook - Gator
2. Lane - Gator
3. Kc - Cane
4. Valentine - Cane
5. Sony - UGA
6. Rudolph
7. Darling - Cane
8. Yearby - Cane
9. Thomas - Cane
10. Dixon

Then, if you look at Florida's top 100 prospects, we have 7 more prospects from South Florida alone committed to us. 12 south Florida kids in the top 100 is pretty good to me. Then add other Florida kids like Owens, Harris, Gibbons, etc. Then mix it in with OOS kids like Young, Jenkins, Berrios, etc.

Also I forgot Rudolph was committed as well since we already missed on him.

While its not looking good for Rudolph or Dixon at the moment, it wasnt looking good for coley or Howard at the time either. Reserve judgement till the LOI's are in. Dixon is a 50/50 shot between us and OSU. I bet Dixon will flip flop between the two schools a couple times before he makes his final decision this weekend.

OK fine, say we have 4 or 5 out of the top 10 committed. That's still not good enough. Maybe that bums everyone out but then they need to get thicker skin.

LMAO at that dude asking for fake news as long as it's good. Grow some thicker skin ppl.

It is what it is.

We're not recruiting well enough right now to win a national title, and that's what we all want. The talent is down here this year but if we want a championship team that means closing on guys like Sony and Cook and Rudolph and Lane and Dixon etc.

Championships are won and lost right now. Recruiting season.

You're just new to recruiting. Go back to the classes from 1998-2001, and tell me if we got all 10 of south Florida's best players.
Click to expand...

The earliest Rivals goes back to is 2002.

1. Nate Harris - Miami
2. Nate Salley - Ohio State
3. Max Jean Gilles - Georgia
4. Terrell Walden - Miami
5. Baraka Atkins - Miami
6. Terrell McGill - LSU
7. Kareem Brown - Miami
8. Darnell Jenkins - Miami
9. Glenn Sharpe - Miami
10. Alex Pou - Miami

That's 7/10.
Click to expand...

Oh, so let's show the recruiting class the year after Miami won the National Championship with a team considered one of the best in the history of college football, to today, a team that is working it's way out of the Shannon years and the NCAA scandal. Yeah, that's logical. Even then we only got 7 of the top 10, and we've got idiots on here saying Golden is a failure if he doesn't get at least 7-8.
 
There is still plenty of time, some of you may want to wait and check back in around feb. 1st because you aren't cut out for this.

It's some of the newcomers on canesinsight ruining the board.... It has never been this bad. This is ludicrous.
 
recruiting board has always been for the purpose of discussing recruits, not ripping coaches, schemes and overall whining. meltdowns are reserved for signing day. wait to see who ends up in the class before you cry and throw a temper tantrum.

Step away from the ledge. There is still 56 days until signing day. Let the staff do work. At this time last year we weren't getting Coley by all accounts. Ease up on the expectations, support the team, and let's see how this things finishes up.

Did I miss signing day? When did all those kids sign with other schools. Half those kids we "missed" aren't even committed to any school. Some of you people either need to take the shotgun out of your mouth and calm down or pull the ******* trigger. Either way the rest of us don't want to hear the delusional bull**** anymore.
 
Now it is official Golden can't finish in the regular season and Golden can't finish in the offseason. Good stuff.

That is the great thing about the ignore button, I just used it for Moe(Ernie), Larry(TP801) and Curly(I'm Hurt Dawg). Makes the board much more enjoyable.

Excuses. How hard is it to convince a kid to stay home and put on for the city he grew up in?
