We need to get out and do a better job at recruiting the rest of South Florida. I mentioned three years ago, I watched a seaon of punters in SW Fl with better averages than what we had.

But we aren't losing good players to FAU and USF.

We need better evaluation.

Better Evals 100%
So there isn’t one player on these rosters who could provide Quality depth?

It’s our depth. That’s been one of our problems. Big drop off after starters. AND no pressure from beneath starters

There is one big problem with this theory - we aren't losing out on players that we are recruiting to these schools. There may be an outlier exception or two when this has happened, but previously these kids would have gone out of state or just stopped playing. Miami has issues, but it's not that we are losing recruits to other Florida schools outside of UF/FSU.

But you are missing the point - if those other schools didn't exist, we still wouldn't signed those better players. It's not like recruits are turning down Miami to be starters at UCF. The only time you see players turning down one of the big 3 so that they can be a starter early is when one of the other big 3 has an opportunity for them.
