Guys just parrot the "he's a great recruiter" line. Look at all the misses and guys who aren't even here anymore. And then look at all the Shannon guys still getting most of the reps 3 years in. Al couldn't even recruit guys to replace the Shannon guys that everyone hates.
Ok this is getting ridiculous, i'm out. Defending Shannon's recruiting is blasphemy.
Shanntard sucked elephant balls. That's the point. Al can't recruit guys to beat out the bums that Shanntard recruited. He's been here 3 years, and he's still relying mostly on Shanntard's soap horses. Look at the lineup.
Hold on...do you think he misses on guys without the NCAA mess??? I don't think he does...Shannon didn't have to put up with that, he soured on a lot of coaches down here unlike Golden who not only was repairing relationships, he was recruiting his a** off at the same time...Now we will truly see how good of a recruiter he is without the sanctions and to me, he's doin a good job..it usually takes 3-4 years to get ur guys in and run the system you want to run...Shannon left the cubbard bare when it came to DBs, LBs, And DTs..that's why we suck..name one DB, LB or DT recruit that we have that Shannon recruited that's still here that's worth a ****???? Nobody, maybe Highsmith and Rodgers..the recruits he had left cause they didn't like Goldens philosophy and the U Tough program...Shannon recruited lazy players who wanted there positions gift wrapped to them...example. (Forston)
Yet Pete tells us most of our current coaches aren't well liked down here.
I didnt know Butts went to Florida State.
Ferman had an interview with Cook yesterday and he basically asked him why isn't he going to UM and Cook replied "because they weren't going strong after me from the beginning". That's just unacceptable man...
That's BS. Where's that vid from when he was committed to Clemson?
I did that interview and he definitely had Miami up top.

So Pete, in your pinion what happened? I think at the end of the day no matter what he says he didn't want to play with Yearby.
Nothing happened. We were never really in it for this kid. Don't fool yourself. You're delusional if you ever thought we were really in it. And some of you retards think we can always get, and have always gotten, every single blue chip kid in south Florida--you're wrong. We never have, and never will. We just have to try to shut the escape hatch as much as possible, but it will never close entirely. Get used to competition for south Florida. People who thought Jimmy Johnson got every south Florida kid he wanted are dead wrong. We lost recruiting battles back then, just like now.

Y'all realize this is the worst case senario.... Kids will follow Cook Lane and Treon to FSU. That's two years in a row jimbo has come down to dade county and hand picked the best propect and convinced them to choose FSU. They will talk about building a dynasty and **** like that. It is imparrative that FSU loses to auburn on Monday. And that jimbo goes to Texas. Miami stands no chance against what FSU is building right now.
Correct on all 4not reading through the whole thread but, I'm sure these posts have already been made:
1. Something about the cloud
2. Something about Al still being an elite recruiter
3. Something about Cook sucking
4. Something about Miami being NFL U and Cook made a big mistake
Anything I miss?
