You guys don't get it.

Your so blinded by hate that your only capable of seeing what the other delusional people on this site are running around screaming over and over again.

There is something big going on in South Florida right now and that's that young local talent are becoming more and more hyped on the Hurricanes.

Everyone wants to judge Golden on last years class but they don't want to give him any credit for what else is going on. How about you be straight and give him blame for both. That leaves all biases out of it.

I am not so worried about the numbers and the stars, but I am increasingly excited about the fact that a there is a crowd of top level local young kids who are not only hyped about Miami but are committing early at numbers rarely seen and already starting to form bonds in this class. This is a big deal for Miami and its already starting to spill over into other classes. There are also many top level elite kids who go to the same schools as the kids we have committed... so this class could get exponentially more stupid in a blink of an eye.

Sometimes things take time. Sometimes coaches have to learn to get it right. You know Rome wasn't built in a day all that cliche crap. Point is no one knows for sure and if you cant take a realistic look at actual trends then your not really making informed unbiased opinion.

You do not have to have a winning season to turn things around in recruiting. All you have to do is get local kids hyped and if this isn't proof that there is an upwave on local kids getting hyped WTF is it? If your not a troll then what other valid reason could you have to come on here and spew negativity that could end up hurting this class? Why are you fighting it. Would you throw your lottery ticket away after the first three numbers hit because you know you never win the lottery?

Also all of our problems started at Miami when Coker killed recruiting. Randy could never win it back consistently and ****ed off a lot of local schools in the process. Our problem at Miami has more to do with losing the very best talent in the area than it does coaching. If we can sure up recruiting back to the Butch like days then you will win 11 games a season consistently. Their is a roster that could compare to the 2001 roster every four years out of South Florida high schools.

Truthfully this recruiting things means way more to me than the coaching aspect of it does. Its why sites like this exist.

Just remember people complain about coaches on this board all the time and then they go and get better jobs. Go figure.

I would let Bobby Bowden come coach right now for the U if in return you gave me my pick of South Florid kids every year.
And guess what.. I would win. I would be the worst coached team in college but I would win in spite of it.

I agree that the 2016 and 2017 classes are very exciting. Indeed it seems those kids see something we are not. But we have seen Al's car sales pitch work before until the vehicle gets rolled out and only has one wheel and is pouring out smoke. BUT you are completely wrong about coaching vs recruiting. Howard said all we ever needed was good coaching. Then he proved it. He took a QB Joe Pa wanted to make a LB and beat the old man to death with him, getting everyone's attention. It was that coaching that built up to all those kids deciding to stay home. Howard, JJ and Dennis were better coaches than St Bobby, not better recruiters. Ed and Ken proved that if a crappy head coach left a staff with future NFL HCs and a team full of 1st round draft picks alone it could win a NC. Once Ed left and team, still full of 1st rounders, got more exposure to Coker, they started to play down to the coaching. That is Al. The players eventually play DOWN to his coaching. If do not get a real frigging HC in here, these tow classes will either be dissolved by play on the field or be wasted by Al like those who came before him.

I only hope all these kids are committing to THE U AND the coach to come and not some belief in Al's sales pitch. He is the same coach everyday-- that is his self-proclaim goal for everyone. The problem is that same coach sucks. I welcome all the exciting studs committed in 2016 and 2017. They can indeed be the blocks by which the next Cane domination is built. I only hope the BOT provides a real builder for them and not this sad .... salesman.
