It may not necessarily that simple. Kids are not selling their services on ebay with money being the only factor.

Never said it was
I'm just saying, do whatever you can $$$ wise. If a kid wants to go elsewhere for less, than there ain't much we could do.

But, I agree
It's never that simple

Having to win to keep sf kids home and why does UM need to win to change the narrative about this program when others who are in the same boat don't. You think sf kids give a **** or even know what a blue blood is or mean? I only stated what I think is wrong with kids not wanting or feel obligated to stay home and go to UM.

Lincoln is trash
**** the BIG
**** the SEC
Blue bloods means nothing
Miami has to to win because this the U not because we want kids to come play here!!

If something doesn’t make sense it’s most likely cap that’s why

never thought he was a 5 star. He looks more like a 4 star tbh so I am ok with this. The Hiter (whatever tf his name is) is the true 5 star back this cycle imo.

I honestly don’t even know what you are trying to say.

The problem is not with the kids down here. It’s the trash product we’ve put out for two decades, and the fact that it takes time to change the perception of the program. Mario doesn’t exactly do himself any favors either.

You talk about it being a loyalty problem when we don’t even have fans show up to half our games. Then you wonder why a kid may be drawn to the idea of playing in a sold out stadium on CBS.

You’re a parent of one of these kids, you sending your kid to go play for golden or manny over saban? We opened the flood gate ourselves and now those kids saw their role models ball out at top programs and said hmm maybe I can do the same. All the while we’re getting bent over by mid teams in the ACC.

It’s going to take awhile to reverse that trend, and winning is the best remedy since it’s directly in the programs control. Conference, atmosphere, etc problem are what they are. Just win.

Winning is irrelevant.

All winning will do…even consecutive titles…is make the excuse different. It will become a message about playing time and a “loaded Miami roster…I felt I could make a more immediate impact at (x) school.”

We will never get a Jeremiah Smith type South Florida player. Not in a year. Not in ten years. Not in ten centuries. Never. Ever.

1. Lincoln is a known winner and they are Big 10 now which helps. Anomoly year for them though and probably spending big. Inflated currently due to # of commits
3. Agreed on TAMU, but they SEC and will pay any amount necessary

Comparing our situation to ND and UT is laughable. ND just played for a national title and UT for a shot at the title game and they are the bluest of bloods in the sport. The **** are you even talking about?

Pretty sure TAMU has been steadily putting people into the nfl

USC’s class reads like the American Samoa phone book.

OB was half filled in the 80s 90s and early 2000s but we were winning. Last time I checked the 58 game home winning streak was during that time. UM fans are largely made up of people who never ever step foot on campus in Coral Gables and not even from the sfla area. Fans show up and pack the stadium for maybe 2 or 3 homes games a year and that has always been the case. So if you want to continue to use all those excuse listed above than that's your opinion and your right, but we can't get mad when the big time sfla kids decide to go elsewhere.

Wait are you saying that we could win consecutive titles but not get the the Jeremiah Smiths of South FL? Man I'd take the titles every day of the week.

Miami isn’t winning any titles without the Jeremiah Smiths and it isn’t getting the Jeremiah Smiths until it gets a Jeremiah Smith and he becomes a top draft pick.

What was the point....the only thing I took away far your op was not getting the top talent in sfla. Winning is an excuse that other programs in the same boat as UM don't seems to have a problem with!!
