2026 Derrek Cooper 5* RB/ATH from Chaminade Commits to Texas

Beating ND and UF will open up the floodgates for us. At that point it will be hard to negative recruit us.

Mario HAS to win these two games to close out this class in top 5.

Realisitcally, Miami won't have a top 5 class. Top 10 probably. I want to see Maimi not fold when the cold weather games come and make to the ACC title game at minimum.

That will make it harder to negative recruit than winning two OOC games.

he’s been here for 3 years. This is year 4

What Mario did at Oregon is irrelevant now
He took an already thriving program to heights it had already seen multiple times in the 2 decades before he took over. His claim to fame was he recruited better than anyone else had in their history. When he left Lanning immediately recruited and built a better roster than Mario ever had.

I get having these conversations when he first got here. It mattered then.

It’s like the “elite” recruiter thing. I don’t care what he did elsewhere anymore. His 2022 class is horrible and the 2023 class is on life support

I think we are getting better each year that goes by in both areas but I couldn’t care less about his time at Oregon anymore

And before that gets lumped in for mopery he’s also positively changed certain things

Like MariBro ball. Being a “qb killer” etc etc

To me its the conference slate that truly matters. Beating ND & Ufag is always great but what we get negative recruited against the most are not winning the ACC and our tendency to faceplant in the month of November. Fixing that will do way more for us than any W vs a rival on primetime.

Of course..and can see Mario having his team ready and beating both. I can also see Mario crapping the bed at least twice against teams he has no business losing to…players unprepared, uninspired. he’s proven this repeatedly…

Sensible posts like this are rare to see on CIS
 
Don’t know why but all of a sudden I can’t get Carly Simon singing “ anticipation “ out of my head…

Exactly we're in a softer conference but still schedule big boy opponent each year

You know how every year some demented ******* posts that question:

“Would you rather” and it’s some sick scenario?

Would you rather destroy UiF and FSU and not make the ACCCG/playoff was our reality of that thread

Eh. It’s hard cause winning the conference but getting our butts kicked at home by ND and UF and people will just say the ACC sucks
