Wow, out insiders said we were in this.

Feels like these high profile recruits are using Miami to drive up their cost, and nothing more.

I posted on a thread somewhere several days ago, I believe we were 4th. It wasn't long ago, Miami and Auburn were the leaders. Auburn is acting bankrupt after 2 years of crazy spending. They have the 84th class with 2 - 4*'s and 7 total recruits. If Freeze wins this season, I expect them to come in big 💰 in Dec. Their is Auburn and Miami outide looking at 3 teams that are definitely spending big right now, Bama and Oregon have 3 -5*'s each already. A&M has 1 with the #3 class. It almost appears to be about money, like everyone else.

I don’t mind Mario taking his shot as two of the other DL 4 stars are from the Deep South but 5stars aren’t coming to Miami from those states. Never have and never will. Too bad this board fell for the message board hype but any vet knew better than to believe that.

Mario is doing much better in the Midwest and also proves I think Miami fits better in the BIG conference if they can somehow find a way in.

But if Mario doesn't pursue and the kid says "I gReW uP a MiAmI FaN" everyone ***** on Mario and Miami. Damned if you do; damned if you don't.

Recruit who you think is going to make your program better. Have backup plans (Mario does). Continue to evaluate (Mario does). Then, get the right guys together and win games (we are working on that).

It's unfortunate that so many Miami fans wait around to **** on Miami when any bit of negative development occurs. Keep recruiting who you think will make the team better and keeping pushing forward.

We are so far removed from the Larry Hope days and all the other losers we called "diamonds in the rough" that we forget what big boy recruiting looks like. ****, we shouldn't even be in some of these conversations considering how ****** we are according to our fan base

There's not 1 recruit we have missed on minus JRoc that I thought we would land as of now. The only position I think we really **** up is safety.

If you think we really f**ked it up…but we didn't miss on anyone else…Then who did you think we were landing on safety?

I think some folks are underestimating some of our younger cats in the defensive backfield that have developed, but you just aren't hearing about. We've been getting some good recruits, and they haven't been picking their noses for 2 years at practice. If I'm on the jury, I'll need some more evidence before I throw my dudes under the bus in the defensive backfield, including safety.

Friend you’ve been here long enough to know that if you could just fog a mirror at practice we will hear about it incessantly.
