UNC - 1000 yards rushing crushed Manny's previous record for most yards allowed rushing. Previous year - FIU, Jarren Williams, OC, no signs of a HC in training. Manny got Lashlee and D'eriq, else we could have been a .500 or worse ball club. Too many close games that shouldn't have been close. I want all UM coaches to succeed but I'm not all in on Manny until......we beat a Bama, OKl, OSU or Clemson.

I’m not sold on Jess either tbh...
With both Rousseau & Phillips being first rounders & the success we’ve had in DLine recruiting recently, if he can’t parlay that into landing Shemar Stewart or Kenyatta Jackson idgaf about how technically savvy he is or how many Buford kids he can sign...
Bring us the Blue-chippers, no excuses.

Buddy probably should have transferred to Armwood, Tech, Hillsborough, etc. Simpson probably turned his tape on and seen him playing against 8th graders and Sisters of the Poor Catholic
This aint get enough love. LOLBack at one!!
You realize GR wasnt a blue chipper?
Jess was the first coach at two schools to turn G will
Into a beast.

Yes, GR wasn't a blue chip. Guys outplay their projections. It happens, I’ll take my chances with blue chips though and I am willing to bet you would too.
Believe he is talking strictly from a recruiting standpoint though on Simpson, and I agree with it. This is the most loaded SoFla has been up front on defense since I can remember. We are about to have 3 edge guys drafted with 2 being on day 1. There are no excuses for us to swing and miss on all of these top edge guys. Zero. None. Zilch. Do I think we will? No, I am just stating how ridiculous that would be. No one is doubting his coaching ability, but if he cant take advantage and sign the DUDES, then that hurts the bottomline...ESPECIALLY with it being so loaded.

Robert’s was recruited by Stroud & Banda/ Harvey was recruited by Diaz primarily, but Simpson was the 2ndary recruiter.
However, we did think Simpson would open the pipeline to GA
Every single DL blue chip from GA went everywhere but here. So we’ll see if the 2nd -go-round changes. The only kid we got from GA during his tenure was Holley.

Furthermore, everyone on this board knew we stole Greg b/c a lot of P5 offered him as they saw this kid. He just didn’t attend the camps to get those brownie points to boost up his rankings. Just like we stole Key Smith.
Regardless, like u said, the risk reward on blue chips are much higher than 3 stars & below. U can’t compete w/ the upper echelons if U’re constantly relying on diamond in the rough type players. We’ll see how things go; I do like Simpson the coach, though. Then again, I liked Kul the coach, yet he gets maligned for his recruiting...yet as a P-recruiter here, he brought us Jade, Joe Jackson, Garvin, Ford, DJ Johnson.

“If I recall correctly” Simpson got Elijah to commit as a Junior and he decommitted when Jess bounced to the NFL. Stroud then got him to recommit.

Let the man do his job. I don't care WHERE he gets his guys from as long as he gets HIS guys... Alot of these kids the staff "BETTER LAND" are the ones who are looking to bolt out of Florida.
exactly man
he may be a great teacher which he seems to be
but 50% or more of college football coaching is recruiting
i just think were giving him too much benefit of the doubt at this time
what is going on should raise some eyebrows
bc he lost two dline commits without any replacements or even any smoke that theyll sign a replacement soon

I believe based on recent events that Stewart Jones Jackson are all outta here. Recent events have shown this. Now Simpson has to land at the minimum Kelly
We absolutely cannot go 0-3 with that trio. IDGAF who we get at DE, it would be a fail. Good news is, we have a loooooooong way to go. Those 3 are not pulling any trigger anytime soon. They are going to enjoy the process until the end.

The FSU slupers on social media believe that they "flipped" Cleveland from us... They don't want to hear nothing about Miami dropping him or a coach that is not pursuing a recruit as much as the previous coach.
They truly are the gator light version of a fan base. Still can't decide which program I hate more..

Made sense to drop this kid but definitely nervous about Simpson's recruiting abilities
The one year he was here he missed on alot of D Line Targets
DT - Braylen Ingraham (ALA)
DT - Quashon Fuller (FSU)
DE - JJ Weaver (UK)
DE - Khris Bogle (UF)
DE - Lloyd Summerall (UF)
DE - Kevin Harris (ALA)

IIRC, Banda was first contact, then Patke & Simpson contacted him. But, again, trying to recollect here, he decommited during the suck *** ‘18 season, prior to Simpson leaving. Believe he decommited in like October or November of ‘18. If my memory is not failing me, his decommit was due to our on field play, and not due to Simpson leaving.
