Exactly... People are losing their mind now. All of sudden Florida is not a good place to recruit. Man let’s forget that Jerry Jeudy and Marquise Broen is tearing it up. Let’s not forget that longest winning streak in college ball isn’t UCF. I can go on with other facts but I don’t feel like wasting my time.
 
I personally think we missed out on too much

Spot on. I will add that I don't think there are less dogs than before, but the big 3 let the dogs leave the state for Clemson, SEC schools, and OSU.

I also don't have a problem with private school recruiting. However, once they choose a high school, the coaches need to let it go. Don't go grab Ingraham after he starts balling at Dillard. Don't go grab Elijah Moore after he balls at Western. Transfers are FINE, but stop forcing them. Kids are being bombarded to leave their school when they don't need too.

I agree... Crazy thing is are these private schools really developing these guys. I felt in the past George Smith provided that aspect at STA but I don’t know now. Florida still produce the best talent. I mean one of the top WRs was under recruited then opted to go to juco and is now killing it for Okie. We just have to get the right players.

"Maybe they must of been JV teams, Varsity must play today." I laughed because we did look like a JV team.

It makes what easier, beating out of state teams? The teams that we play out of state are loaded with Talent too. We're not the only state that has transfer issues.
 
Outside of the freak athletes, been seeing a softer display. Not in terms of making a big hit or tackle, but in terms of facing adversity head on vs. quitting/giving up/making excuses.

Lots of states like Texas don't allow players to transfer HS unless they live in that schools region. So it is impossible to create these super teams like they make in Miami.

Been saying.

South Florida kids are soft.

You can blame coaching only for so long. We’re 15 years and 4 head coaches in at this point. At some point, you have to call a spade a spade. It begins and ends with the soft players.

15 years, 4 head coaches....the one constant, unchsnging factor has been the attitudes of the kids in the program.

South Florida ain’t what it used to be.

Dumb. Asinine. Silly.

How does a state full of soft kids produce the most NFL and D1 players in the country?

How does a state full of soft kids travel to states like GA, TX, NV, CA, etc...and beat their powerhouses?

GTFOH with this BS!

Except the majority of any college football team, Miami included, is never going to the NFL. The difference between good teams and average teams is depth.

Nobody is complaining about our best players. It's the 2nd and 3rd tier players, the ones that make up our depth, that are too soft.

Back in the day, South Florida 3-stars used to contribute towards winning. Even if they weren't going to the NFL, they brought a certain attitude and work ethic that made the rest of the team better.

Today, the South Florida 3-star is the punchline of many jokes - they are clearly overrated and they have a diva mentality.

It is what it is.

Do you watch CFB?...if you did, you'd figure out real quick that "Super Teams" aren't exclusive to HSFB.

****, Brevin played on a "Super Team" but I wouldn't dare call Him soft.

I guess you dont understand not many states allow kids to switch schools every year. You live in an area you go to that school. Other states dont allow the super team.

Yes the culture in 2018 is soft, a lot of talk but no bite. When I was in junior high and high school you would rather get paddled in school than to go home to Dad's wrath... and you were hit three times with a special paddle that would hurt real bad leaving your butt black-n-blue for days. I got it many times... was a glutton for punishment as a kid.
Things have slowly changed where being a man isn't the same. Terms like toxic masculinity, gender neutral, participation award are now in vouge.
If we continue with this social engineering experiment, contact football may become flag football.

Yes and yes. Parents are getting soft as pudding. Trying to be best buddies with their kids. I am a Father first. My job is not to be your buddy, my job is to prepare you for the rigors that come with adulthood and to give you a foundation to succeed.
 
Yes parents should prepare us for life, and to be strong and responsible. But if we lose a proper level of respect from our kids, our jobs as a parent becomes very difficult. How many times have we seen a person's behavior or character and later have been able to see the parents and/or their upbringing and right away it's easy to figure out why they've become what they are. It's not easy parenting and all of us as parents have learned along the way as well. But you have to give them love or you may end up with heartless pricks. You have to make them strong or they may end up weak and irresponsible. You have to be honest with them or they may turn out to be liars, thieves or cheats. It's a balancing act like no other where the stakes are very high.

And I guess you don't understand that playing on stacked teams doesn't make a kid "soft". Going by that logic, the 80's, 90's, & early 2K Canes were "soft"...dumb.
