I’ve always said that Bama has blue chip recruits get drafted on the basis of the sheer amount of elite players they get and I still stand but that.Avery Huff:
Per 247 - #12 OLB in the Nation ; #207 overall player in the Nation
Yet, here at Miami, he can’t grasp the playbook.
Well what about his teammate at Aquinas, Bonitto. Both similar in height & stature.
Nik Bonitto:
Per 247 - #17 OLB in the Nation ; #220 overall player in the Nation
Yet, there at Oklahoma, he’s one of the best OLBs in ALL of CFB!
So, I’m going to keep asking this ? until I get an honest, satisfying answer:
How in THEE FCK is 247 consistently wrong w/ our “blue chip” evaluations, yet 247 is “correct” on other team’s blue chip players??
I’ve now heard for the 7 yrs I’ve been on this site every excuse used to justify our recruiting failures:
1. Not enough talent (bull chit per our class rankings)
2. Misevaluated (bull chit per the # of 4 stars that’s been on this roster)
3. Guys not grasping the playbook (bull chit per our coaches & players saying the playbooks have been simple)
4. Not enough practice time (bull chit per EVERY FCKIN TEAM IN AMERICA)
5. Injuries/set backs (bull chit per EVERY FCKIN TEAM IN AMERICA)
How bout a real simple answer: continuing to hire **** poor coaches, w/ a **** poor vision of what Miami football is & should be, along w/ a **** poor S&C program that focuses on the wrong chit like “GPS MPH Tracking” which is fraudulent af.
There is absolutely no way we can continue to see blue chip guys look like blue tortilla chips class after class. It cannot continue to be any of those 5 excuses....for 10+ yrs??
However, your explanation is very difficult to argue against. We have too much of a sample size the past 10 years to argue against the development part. Too many top 20 classes to say kids are just not as talented. Kids transferring out or not having enough scholarship players should not be an excuse for development.
To many players that outshined all the other players in high school to just all of the sudden say they’re not capable of grasping this or that.
Everyone misses on evaluations. Even the nfl.
But **** man, after a while the same excuses every year are just that. Excuses.
It’s obvious when we reach on a dude like Ivey or Wiggins or Jennings.
But the same sht everyone here talks about.
No one in the past 10 years has been asking for a chip. But no one on here is ok for 15 years of losing to teams that we have no business losing to.
