I seriously don’t understand how putting a glow in the dark logo on the ceiling, rebuilding your lockers and painting them white for 1.5 million dollars, can have that much of an impact on recruits.

Everything helps in recruiting. Yes Clemson/bama etc wins at an extremely high level but they also know the importance of upgrading facilities otherwise they wouldn’t do it since they are at the top right? No one is saying Miami should have the best facilities but it needs to be on par with other elite programs and right now the lockeroom definitely isn’t even equal with a good number of power 5 schools

Because they are 18 year old kids and they gobble that stuff up. You're crazy if you think the little things like that don't end up playing a role in a lot of minds.

I appreciate your comment.

But "isn't not"......c'mon man.

Manny’s biggest problem is trying to figure out how to keep the top players from being raided from down here.

Yea there’s the tired old mantra of “ win they will come “ but that’s only half true.Manny is going to have to call on his old man’s rich contributors to get the upgrades done and to get us on some sort of semi-level playing fields as the Bama’s and UGA’s of the world that are down here pulling the top players out with their....well I’ll just say he needs to find a way to give us a chance when these odd things that look like bags start falling from the sky.That will be the hardest thing because these parents and handlers in south fla have come to expect these bags to be dropped if you want their kids signature on NSD.

It All goes hand in hand and I think Manny ,like JJ had,has that fire and forward thinking about him to get the job done.I really think this is #TNM.Guess we will see.

Ol Blake James didn't say anything about a stand alone football facility. He was more focused on finding a place for our rowers to row and getting a scoreboard for volleyball. The money spent on the dorms could have gotten us this

Not even close.

Not even close.

Stadium was 250

Stadium was 250

Let me know where MDC CZAB will approve just the land required for a stadium ANYWHERE in Dade for $250MM and I'll sell you shares to a magical unicorn pasture oil field in Broward.

It just isn't going to happen.

Like ever.

For any amount of money.

Why politicize this thread? You think that's appropriate for a football board? There's enough division/polarization in this country as it is, precisely because of politics. Save it for Twitter, jack.

Hey hoss, save calling people jack for the Johns. You good with that buddy? Thanks chief.

New rule.

Anybody that bltches about facilities and wanting a $20 million neon lit locker room, must post a screenshot of their contribution to the hurricane club and/or any of the other future football related contribution campaigns.

Otherwise you sound like some really dumb fūcks.
