The death penalty would soon follow b/c those MFers definitely choose who they decide to go after.
And with the unloyalty down here for the home team by recruits, handlers, HS coaches, media etc... we would get exposed in a heartbeat.
So unless the FBI or IRS get involved and take down a Baga, UbaGA or Clem$on (not Ole Mi$$) and scare the **** out of these bag schools, don’t ever expect to sign enough elite players to ever win another NC.
The only reason we dominated college football was the unmatched elite talent we had stacked that were mostly underrated (very few 5stars) south FL guys only we knew about.
Then early 2000s sites like Rivals and Scout started putting a spotlight on those underrated elite kids we would clean up on that would make up the meat of our roster.
We will never have that again, b/c the nation’s bag schools wanted to emulate what we created.
And how do they get these elite kids to leave their family, friends, community and team they grew up rooting for?
Offer them so much money it makes their head spin.
Those 3 schools have way better coaching, more resources, incredible shadow booster systems etc...
An NC goes through them, so how are we going to beat them with the only thing that would separate us and give us the edge (the elite local kids staying home) leaving the state every cycle?
As depressed as it makes me to admit it, I fully believe the way college football recruiting has gotten, we will never win another NC.
A little private school should have never owned college football for 2 decades, but we did.
It will never happen again.
I'm calling bullsh@t on this. We never recruited and got a strangle hold on the "elite" talent in So Fla. The truly elite from So Fla were known nationally going back to the 60's. You can field a HOF all star team of Dade country kids that didn't go to UM. The first "national recruit" I remember getting was Lester Williams. The "State of Miami" was more of a goal for Howard than a destination that we've ever achieved.
The star whores forget how we made our mark. We're fortunately in an area with a large pool of three star and low four star talent. We became by knowing our home recruiting area better than anyone else, having superior evaluations, and developing them. That was Howard's, JJ's and Butch's MO. Once they got on top, they were then able to sell UM to 5*'s but they still couldn't get all of them. The last 15 years has proven until we return to our "proven formula", we're only spinning our wheels.
