Good Class so far

[LUcanesfan]

Want fines. DT that wants to come here? Want!

That's our problem right there. The DTs that WANT to come here are not high-caliber, at least not ranking-wise.

The guys we're getting now might be considered good role-players. But the real question is - 'Are they Miami caliber?' We have to wait and find out. Not every 'Golden Special' has been easy on the stomach.

Last year was very similar in that we had the core of our class committed before the season started:
Darling, Kaaya, McDermott, Yearby, Linder, Jenkins, Thomas, Owens, Herndon, Young, Harris, Gray, Jackson, Mayes, Langham, Smith, Rosier, and McCray were all commited before the first game of 2013.

At the time we also had: Valentine, Edouard, Stuckey, Turner, Bethel, Powell, and Gibbons

During the season we got Berrios, Wyche, Moten, Gayot, Brady. We closed with Heurtelou, Hester, Njoku.

Everyone was ****ed off because we lost Valentine and weren't able to get Cook or Michel. The misses as just that but look at our list of De-commits, other than Valentine who may not have gotten in anyway, was there any other recruit we really needed? A lot of people were disappointed with that class but it was solid just like this class will be.

Homers like you ruin this site. It's ridiculous. For one, we're not aiming for a "solid" class, we're aiming to bring in an elite class every year, as should be expected given the plethora of elite talent within driving distance of our University. Secondly, we had a lot more vital misses than just those three. Lane, Rudolph, Dixon, JC Jackson, and Clark were all huge misses, and that's not even taking into account the numerous kids who we didn't even recruit or "cooled on" that could have made an impact at UM, like Quincy Wilson, Lammons, Sean White, Isaiah McKenzie, John Battle, etc.

Our recruiting has been lousy under Golden relative to what it should be. Weve the the majority of elite kids leave South Florida, and are neglecting tons of schools and talented players in favor of less heralded, out of state kids who have provided us with very little ROI.

We're a ******* 6-6 football team. Solid classes aren't what we're looking for.

You rattle off a bunch of names that you see on recruiting rankings or on this board, did you seriously want us to offer Quincy Wilson? Sean White over Kaaya? Not everyone that is brought up is a miss and not everyone from S. fl wants to come to Miami.

We took two quarterbacks, so it has nothing to do with taking a kid over Kaaya,. We didn't even offer White, a kid in our backyard who was named Elite 11 MVP and Under Armour Game MVP. I find the odds of Malik Rosier having a better career pretty minute.

When 3 years straight you lose majority of tops kids in your back yard, that's a problem. That's not "some kids not wanting to play for Miami." That's a disturbing trend of elite kids not wanting to play for a lame duck staff.

See you seem to be unable to comprehend the fact that just because we ignore a kid and don't offer him, doesn't mean he's not a really talented player. Our staff has shown little evaluation skills, and have let an ever growing list of kids we deemed "not miami material despite their rankings" go elsewhere and ball out. Quincy Wilson was good enough to start on a talented UF defense and started to come on as the year went on, even picking off Winston.

Last year out of the top 50 guys in Florida per 24/7, we landed 8 kids. 8 freaking kids. 4 of the top 5 were in our backyard and we got 1. That's abysmal. 2013 we got 0 of the top 10. It's just funny all these kids like Wilson, McKenzie, Skai Moore, Greg Bryant, Sean White, Treon Harris, John Battle, Chris Lammons, Corey Holmes, Richard Yeargin, Michael Johnson etc aren't good enough in our eyes, a ****** 6-6 team that can't beat Pitt, yet they can get looks from other elite schools. All of these kids are right in our backyard and half of them we didn't even recruit, let alone lose out on them in a recruiting battle.

Recruiting rankings seem to be a pretty good indicator for everyone else, but from the way you act on here, we have these brilliant coaches who are such talented evaluators that their evaluations are better than everyone else's. Shocking with how great they are at ignoring highly rated kids in our backyard and offering lesser talented OOS kids that we've been so bad the last 4 years!

Would have preferred wilson be offered, especially when we ended up losing Dortch.

Would have preferred White to Rosier, especially with Olsen becoming a bust.

But I guess that would require the coaches to have foresight, and who could possibly expect the head coach at the University of Miami to have that?

 

[UMAlum21]

There's tons of kids from South Florida at almost every position balling out. Many of these kids got no looks from Miami for whatever reason, or turned us down for greener pastures. It's ridiculous how porous our territory has come and anyone who doesn't realize this needs to wake up. A couple top 20 ranked classes don't change this reality. Miami has so much talent at their fingertips and is letting most of it slips away to their rivals.

 

[nycane]

this is what butch davis is saying.

 

[jjacks93]

This class is not that bad. its a good class. the problem is that the staff is not addressing the defense which has been 80% of the Problem. We have 6 CBs and Ultra Thin at LB with suparb DT's. the staff is not going all out to get these positions. Offensively we are good. defensively we are severely lacking.

[Gatorhater]

Now list the problem! All the State of Miami studs going elsewhere! If Golden was a warden all the most dangerous prisoners would have escaped.

You just made me think of a great name for Golden: Colonel Klink Not sure how many remember Hogan's Heroes. Golden is Klink and Mark is Sergeant Schultz , the no nothing see nothing dude, proudly claiming that no good recruit escapes their grasps.

Spot on, Pimp. I still curse this this staff for letting Skai Moore get away. Like Burgess and the other local kids last year at the Russell Athletic Bowl, Moore will be a heat-seeking missile this Saturday in Shreveport. A one-man Destructobot.
Miami will never return to greatness until Golden is gone.

 

[Verdeterrece15]

Skai Moore been missing tackles all year

How about the guy from Miami that went to our arch rival and beat us in a game we could have won. Swallow a pistol

Lol exactly! Why offer Quincy Wilson when we have Nantafrica Fentress patrolling our secondary. You are seriously retarded.

Not as long as Golden is here.

Fact.

 

[Deleted User]

Top 25 recruiting class, top 120 coaching staff. Yep, all good in Miami.

 

[@KingLew88]

This board always makes me laugh. Y'all do know most of the kids you name know Miami to be a bottom feeder. These dudes have seen 0 glory years out of Miami. We've been irrelevant OVER A DECADE.

Yea come to Miami and rep the hometown while you watch bama and FSU dominate. How you see Miami and how they see Miami is totally different. Take your homer glasses off for a sec and actually think. Its rather easy

 

[Vanquish9]

i hate our fan base

 

[SmokeyRone]

Offensively we are NOT good. We haven';t been good offensively against winning teams in four years under Golden. We have no RBs for next year (pending NSD) ONE QB who is prematurly proclaimed the next Hiesman winner (just like BB, KW, Jacort and Morris), losing Dorsett means we have lost the only elite reciever we have, and we are losing the best of our inconsistant OL.

We are a 6-6 team because of corching. Wasn't everyone saying it was proof Gordon and staff underperformed because we have talent and still sucked?
