Paying premiums over market on another one or two 5 stars for this class will yield huge immediate returns. Every Game Day show, every game broadcast, the nation will hear, weekly, about Miami’s generational recruiting, how Mario is building a monster, he’s got a record “seven 5-stars committed” etc. You cannot quantify that type of consistent hype and messaging. You catch lightning in a bottle once, if you’re lucky. Extend financially, if you have to, in order to capitalize on it.

Lightning in a bottle only happens once.

There is nothing about this recruiting class which tells me it won’t be an annual occurrence. This is the new recruiting standard at Miami.
2028 we will be pushing for Ghiotto and Wright, who are presumably 1 and 2 in the rankings now that Sears is 2027.
The #1 OT from Detroit loves Miami.

As long as we have Mario we will have these recruting classes. The best and hardest working recruiter in CFB now has the money and support behind him.

This is what it looks like when you pay top dollar and outwork your competitors.

Plain and simple, that’s what we’re doing. It’s not complicated and let’s hope it continues

This is a good point and shouldn't be overlooked. The value you receive multiplies when you start entering this territory with recruiting.. Both because these kids want to play with each other and will recruit each other and then you start entering unchartered territory with the kind of class you're bringing in. Especially since we're in the ACC.

Miami can create it's own category these next few years. It'll be "SEC, B1G, or Miami" just like Clemson had for a few years except even better because of our brand and location.

But need to capitalize on the field. Need to make another playoff run so we can be considered perennial contenders instead of a 1 hit wonder.
 
Looks like we **** near have Asher locked up for 2028 so the fact we are still all in on Jacobs is interesting. Kinda savage and I love it.

Honestly tho if we were to get a flip, I'd prefer a top DT. Not a great DT class overall but that's where we need some depth after Scott/Moten likely gone.

If Scott and Moten go 1st round, we should be able to get anyone we want in the country to hit the portal. Wel need some guys ready to contribute. Maybe LSU becomes a mess, and we start there.

Probably needed anyway as it's unlikely we see a freshman DT play at the level we need. This flip is also about 28 and 29. We need MOAR.

True. We do have good numbers at DT though. Havent gotten the 5 stars like Scott, but our staff does amazing job with evaluations.

1 guy im extremely high on is Carter. Loved his film in HS, and he really stood out to me in spring. Him and Davis might be our starters if Scott leaves early.

I went back and forth with some posters in another thread regarding the status of the program. I believe that the results of this season are the cement to this current regime. Win the ACC and win a playoff game and recruiting classes like this will be the standard. Do more than that and Mario may set recruting records unlike anything ever seen.

Really need at least 11 wins with preferably wins at Clemson and ND, ok to slip up once but it wont if we win those two games. Beat UL or SMU in Charlotte then go BTA against whatever 9-3 b1g or lesSEC team we face in the 1st round and we go into maintenance mode and exit building mode for the program.

Gotta disagree. Just a few years back people were talking like that about Texas A&M's class. According to the "experts" it was the best classe ever. The team disappointed and a lot of that class hit the portal quickly.

Win games is what will give us good publicity. Have an exciting offense and an aggressive defense.

Paying premiums "over mkt" will have returns if it gets us the right guys to win championships.

A class without the ability to develop is pointless. It's just an unnecessary spend. Those Texas A&m teams under Dumbo didn't develop anything. Us on the other hand we're showing development at every position except possibly tight end and I firmly believe that was the last coach more than anything not evals or the position in itself based on our scheme. This class is great but without all the other classes we've been putting together back to back to back to back since Mario has been here and will continue to put together with Mario here it wouldn't mean anything. Texas A&m did that in two classes with the staff that couldn't develop anything. But there's no need to **** on another Squad to point out the error in your comment
