Exactly. He recruited like a monster at Alabama but everyone just assumed it was because Alabama recruits it’s self. Then at Oregon, he recruited better than anyone had ever done in their program history. He comes to Miami and inherits a #65 ranked class and pumps it all the way up to #15 in like a month, with almost no other staff. All before NIL was even a thing. Now we’re supposed to believe he ONLY signed the #7 class last year because of NIL money? Come on.
Look, they can bash Mario’s game day coaching or even some of his staff hires but the one thing he’s done consistently through his entire career is recruit at a high level.
