Unfortunately, the politics in south Florida is different and Miami is held to a different standard. Miami has to do a better job with its top tier players and relationships on South Florida. If the SEC and OSU’s of the world can handle it then we need to play the game, as well.

Wasn't Mario hired to solve for this?

How is the local school with the recruiting guru not handling it?

I don’t mind criticism at all (I hold myself accountable more than anyone) but miss me with your original point. I will never reveal anything that would hurt any of my relationships. That’s just stupid. If that hurts your perception of me then so be it.

The state of miami thibg is a myth since mario has been here.
Mario has recruited nationally since he has been here.

Mario is busy chasing around kids from Mississippi and passing on
S. Fla kids every class lol

We have a huge need at safety...dbs grown on trees in s. Fla and ee were full on go on like 3 safeties from atlanta area...we havent recruited one locally lol

Our current wr commits are fron: Mission viejo, ca , Charlotte,nc, and St Augustine fl.

You are right about Mario and Miami. One thing to note, while he does go nationally, he actually has been recruiting the rest of the state of Florida harder than anywhere else.

At the end of the day we have had Randy, Al, Mark, Manny, and now Mario run through here and all of them have had issues with local recruiting ties. There seems to be one common theme. The South Florida coaches being the problem. Fool me once something something.

It’s a fair point. Mario was brought here knowing he was not exactly a X and O kind of dude outside of O line. He was brought here to keep kids home. Pure never keeping every kid home but it at least Appeared Mario would keep his fair share. The fact is he’s missed on a lot of the top kids and that also can’t happen.

But we heard "would you send your kid to play for those coaches" -- The Foreclosure thread indicates people are still not buying what we are selling...
 
He doesn’t need me to defend him but @Hurracanes is spot on here Jimmy Q

Bro just stop.

Enough with cryptic nonsense. Don’t even mention it if you’re going to say “but I can’t share” either spill the beans or don’t even hint at it.

You’re gonna make the natives restless with too much of that.

Which makes sense as alot of working class folks have left soFla, so it stands to reason there is an increasing number of kids who live in central and north Florida with ties to soFla area, so I'm guessing kids from these circumstances are more open to spending 4 years in Miami.
Same with kids in Georgia and North Carolina.
All speculation, of course.

the rest are basically your standard LAFs, Anytime Fitnesses, PLanet, Fitness CF, etc.

Yeah, I'm a member of Ironclad Gym.
It's a small gym but loaded with lots of plates, dumbells and equipment.
Several competitive body builders seem to work at the gym, including females.
It sits in a drab shopping center so it's nothing fancy, but has the equipment I need and it's cheap.
The only issue I have had thus far is the owner is apparently a Nole, but he's a good dude and it's central Florida.....lol
