I am not sure why he wasn't offered by Al Golden and that was never my problem. Problem was never ever met with Golden. EVER! When you have a child, you want the best for them. My wife and I's best was a free education to any school. That's what you wish for when they are sitting in the back seat drinking a Capri Sun without a care in the World.

He worked hard and found himself in a position where he had offers from multiple schools. I was long satisfied as a parent. I know all too well, professional football is a slim chance. An education lasts a lifetime.

So the alumni in me had a problem that with me attending multiple camps, bringing prospects to camps, talking up the Golden regime and otherwise supporting our new head coach, he nor his staff members saw it fit to have a conversation with me about a top prospect who also happened to be my son. This on the heels of passing on Skai Moore, Jordan Cunningham and MacGarrett Kings.

Jimbo Fisher did not offer Quincy Wilson but Jimbo Fisher met with us in his office. No one asked him to do that! He did so on his own accord. That man held up the Sears trophy this year.

Thanks for your input. I loved McGarrett King coming out. IIRC, we did end up offering Skai but at the very last minute. It seems to me that there is a serious divide between USchool and UM - have heard way too much about it for not to be an issue. Do you think there is an issue with this current staff at UM and their thoughts on USchool? If so, why do you think they -apparently-have an issue with US?

 

[L A M P]

as an alum couldn't you get ahold of Hurlie/Barrow & discuss it with them instead of airing it out in public?

That would have been ideal.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Tell us about how USchool coaches call high school player's cell phones while they're in the middle of their junior seasons at other schools.

Well, perhaps those kids made first contact. What's important to note is that if players are happy in their current situation, they don't get contacted. Don't underestimate the will of a parent to get what's best for their kid. The best thing you could have done at Western was provide the best atmosphere you can with the resources given to you and spend less time bad mouthing the private institutions that put kids in college. It only makes them more attractive to your kids.. YOu have spent an undue amount of time engaging in this practice.

lol good stuff

 

[CoastCane]

Gamineal, that very well may end up being the case. This is a trial period for me.

Chad you will have to wade through the bs from some of the posters. I welcome and appreciate you stopping by to get your perspective on the program.

 

[Golden Era]

was Quincy frustrated that Cook, Lane, and Lammons all ended up elsewhere after appearing so tight at the beginning?

 

[ChadWilson]

Chad why do you think this staff cant close? Is it because of Miamis academic requiremnts? Also y do kids root for UM then sign elsewhere?

I think kids grow up rooting for the home team. They then get a chance to see other places, be around other staffs and realize that there are some better choices for them out there. That's the reality unfortunately. Kids these days are wiser about and have more information about the recruiting process than ever before. No one here can reasonably argue against that.

Very valid points and clearly an error on AG's behalf. But why run to twitter and social media sites to say this? You can't tell me that you couldn't talk to one coach on the staff.

Or you couldn't even show up to one of the many numerous Al Golden Camps to talk with Golden as well? Just sounds a little fishy to me that you wouldn't try to get in contact with the staff if you had some problems with them in my honest opinion

That ain't nothin but the truth.

Chad,

It appears as though you feel Al Golden and his staff showed you and your son a lack of respect by not sitting down with you and talking this through. I can't say I disagree.

With that said, do you believe your son handled the response appropriately? Do you wish he did anything differently during the process?

 

[mwcane31]

Very valid points and clearly an error on AG's behalf. But why run to twitter and social media sites to say this? You can't tell me that you couldn't talk to one coach on the staff.

This is what I would like to know. Let's assume Golden didn't have a convo (for whatever reason) and you did feel disrespected. That sucks, but as an alum couldn't you get ahold of Hurlie or Barrow and discuss it with them instead of airing it out in public?

There had to be somebody to talk to. The staff stayed away for reasons the we will never know, but at least we give this guy here that has constantly bashed Miami, a forum to tell his one-sided story!

Can we somehow get Genron and Charles Robinson in here to tell their story.

 

[suzy7389]

Why did you let your son track the Miami program.. he talked bad about it to all his boys

 

[itsacanething]

clearly a horrible move by the staff not to sit down and talk with a legacy. they don't have to offer but kids of former players should be respected. the question is what caused golden not to do this??

 

[cane305]

Will your resentment against coach Golden and his staff carry over to your current student athletes?

 

[Sabetta]

again Chad, why go to social media? If you're feeling disrespected and you run to social media instead of handling it like a man, then maybe you deserve the disrespect. There is no doubt AG deserves blame here, but you can get Hurlie or Barrow on the phone if you wanted too. Are you going to take any accountabity in this mess?

 

[Thoughtsoncanes]

In your opinion what's missing from the program that's causing elite talent to go elsewhere?

Good coaching? Wins? Better game day atmosphere? Lack of community connections? Facilities?

 

[CanesFam17]

how do the current players and parents feel about the staff?

 

[valid]

So Golden never even met with the DC...that's pathetic on Golden's part. Did you met with any of our other coaches Chad? Did Golden meet with your Head Coach at all?

 

[Docholliday03]

So your problem is Golden never did something that he wasn't obligated to do to begin with? So because you and your son got your feeling hurt you took it upon yourselves to trash the school the rest of the year. Seems like the kid was following the immature lead of the parent. If you think the way the Miami staff handled your sons recruitment was wrong then you must see how ridiculously immature you and your son reacted to the situation. Two wrongs don't make a right. And as a parent it's your responsibility to teach your son to be more mature instead of all the social media bs that went on.

 

[NoVaCane04]

It already has.
