Al Golden quote

[baronblank22]

This is from an interview this morning, gave me chills in regards to other schools and negative recruiting.

"They don't want Miami to rise. They don't want Miami to get back up, because they know what's on the other side of that mountain."

Awesome

in terms of elite schools recruiting south florida, that is often overstated by fans here. the narrative is that sec schools, fsu, etc. are raiding south florida but you look over most of the rosters and lsu for example has literally a handful. same for other schools like bama and uga. even uf doesn't have that many and the ones they do are primarily from around the palm beach area. i think fans tend to remember the ones that get away more because they are usually high profile. but in terms of pure numbers the major schools aren't raiding south florida, miami still gets most of the talent from the city of miami and some of the surrounding areas.

Golden called me this morning and told me that it was in fact Baby Jesus on the other side of the mountain. True story.

In reality, you only need a handful. But there are a ton of schools who are down here looking. Heck, look at Arky, you think they arent happy as **** with what they pulled from down here last class. If you have Bama, grab one, LSU, grab one, UF grab one, UGA grab one, FSU grab a couple, then a darkhorse like Arky, Louisville, etc. It might not seem like a huge thing for that individual school but it does alot to hurt a UM because those are all difference makers that are not on our roster. It adds up and quickly. You dont need to grab aton for it to make a difference because all those other schools still have their own main pipeline but if they can go to south florida and target a top talent and grab one every couple years its gravy for them. Golden is saying they love a down miami because they get to come down and cherry pick talent.

That's the point.

They're cherry-picking difference-makers like Patrick Peterson.

We could've used Keith Bryant, Jaynard Bostwick, Matthew Thomas, and Amari Cooper.

You can't get them all, and things can change on NSD, but right now it's looking like 0/4 on Dalvin Cook, Khairi Clark, Ermon Lane, and Sony Michel.


BTW I'm not crying about losing recruits. We're doing fine. But we need to start winning again and get past these bull**** sanctions so local studs have fewer reasons to look elsewhere.

Its the cumulative effect. EVERY major D1 program recruits Florida. If they all land one or two kids, that's s huge chuck of the local, top shelf talent.

Yeah I couldn't specify the region on ESPN but if you tally up the south Florida kids from top to bottom it was not a good year for us in our backyard.

quick roster search:

bama- 7 fl players, 3 from south florida
lsu- 2 fl players, 1 from south florida
uga- 12 fl players, 3 from south florida (only 3 of them even had offers from any of the big 3)
clemson- 7 fl players, 2 from south florida
usc- 3 fl players, 2 from south florida

those are just some of the major players listed as commonly raiding south florida but the numbers don't support it. now obviously uf and fsu have inroads in south florida. but the majority of uf's south florida players are from tampa and the palm beach area, not areas miami is traditionally successful, especially tampa. we haven't gotten someone from the city of miami in years really. fsu has had much more success there.

We are 1-4, Chad Thomas belongs on that list over Clark, **** talent wise I would put Valentine on there since he transferred. Agree with the gist of the post though.

i get your point. but usually, when there's a patrick peterson there's a janoris jenkins (who miami ignored) or even that kid that went to virginia tech and balled out. i think miami's problem is missing on those guys when a patrick peterson leaves. there's too much talent to go wanting at any time.

Jayron Hosley is the VTech guy.

There will always be talent. The point is when things start rolling, we won't have to "settle" as much. To use the example of Amari Cooper, he literally said he didn't come to Miami because he wanted to win a ring, and he was Bama's best WR as a true freshman.
