Tell you this much, if the impossible happens and they pull a consensus top 20 prospect at the running back position from Tuscaloosa, isn't that a **** of an indictment on the culture in south florida?
Matt Thomas says no, but AQM says yes
Dalvin Cook says no, but Bo Scarbrough says yes
Valentine is all LSU, while Gaillard is about to take a final trip here and we have a decent chance of flipping him
What are OOS studs seeing in our program that South Florida guys aren't?
I'd hold off on extrapolating one example into some sort of trend. The odds of Bo and Gaillard flipping to UM are **** near infinitesimal. I'd be shocked at either one, much less both.
Am I really extrapolating?

Courtel Jenkins basically told OSU and PSU to **** off
Why have Braxton Berrios and Juwon Young been the most solid commits that we've had outside of Trevor Darling
Kiy Hester even reiterated his commitment when the Golden to PSU train got rolling.
Your original post implied a trend where a local guy spurns UM, and Golden finds an out of state comparable stud to replace the local kid that went elsewhere.
You cited one actual example: AQM in place of MT. The other two examples are pipe dreams at the moment.
As for the other recruits you have now cited, I agree they are excellent pulls and I'm happy we have them. But that is a separate issue.
