coaching.

that being said a good % of our attrition has been from those espn 300 kids.

Cleveland Reed and Ezzard did nothing here. Neither did DJ Johnson in '17

The 2016 Class tho is especially bad.
8 E300 Kids and half of them were:

Jack Allison
Sam Bruce
Dionte Mullins
Ahmmon Richards (very unfortunate).

In addition to that, you had:

Cedric Wright who was a 4* on ESPN
Haskins
Jeff James
Tre Johnson
Malek Young (another unfortunate situation)
Tyreic Martin


Out of a class of 18 signees we had 7 contribute. 9 if you count malek and ahmmon. That's brutal. Can't happen again.
 
Coaching and development is the issue. I think Manny will develop our players. Just tired of hearing we need to recruit better, that is the lamest excuse ever.
 
Miami has the second most wins in the ACC over the past 5 years? I hardly would have expected that.

What Dave Clawson is doing at Wake is very underrated.

The "Top 300" is very deceptive. Clemson lands way more Top 50 guys than Miami. We need better coaching - but we gotta get more difference makers.

This is true if we want to compete for NC's. For me, all I want to see is for us to consistently win the Coastal like 9 out of 10 years. The stat shown proves we have the talent to run thru the Coastal, but for whatever reason since we've joined the ACC we keep falling flat on our face. If we can win the Coastal consistently, it sets up a 1 game showdown with Clemson. While we may not win a majority of them right now...we can sneak out a win here or there, they are not unbeatable as is evident with them almost losing to UNC, having lost to Pitt and Cuse in previous years. If we can do that, then we can start to talk about bringing in those top 50 or top 100 type guys because we'll need that in order to win 3 games if we are talking NC aspirations.

It’s not though. No one here is expecting us to beat Clemson 9/10 times if we played.

But we should expect to be dominating our division and closing the gap with them.

Every college deals with attrition. We’ve been especially bad at developing and keeping our players.

The talent excuses have to stop. It’s on the coaches, recruit, get them enrolled, keep them on the team, develop them and win.
 
We've also been victimized by some awful decisions by some of our players. If Kaaya doesn't make the bonehead decision to go pro after '16 we are likely a playoff team in '17 and the narrative is a bit different right now.

Yes, but we’ve been so mediocre as of late. I definitely wouldn’t have thought we’d be #2 in wins in the ACC.

This shows how mediocre the ACC is, more than anything.
