3 years later....Golden has finally recruited some guys to play DT. Better late than never I guess.
He's absolutely right.
No, he's not. Plenty of DT's have been recruited. Some flamed out, some trolled, some didn't come, some are still developing, but they've always been recruited.
We missed on every DT last year when we had a huge need and demand. That is fact and he is only pointing out the truth that hurts. Outside of this year we haven't gotten any DTs that have had major offers elsewhere and their production has been exposed why. Moten, Valentine, Wyche and Hertoleau aren't in the same class as Corey King, Earl Moore and Darius Smiths coming out of high school or transferring in.
You do realize that ever since Golden set foot onto campus there was this significant recruiting hurdle.
I'm surprised he could convince anybody to come to Miami, when every coach in America was saying, "don't go to Miami. Their program will be shut down after the NCAA gets through with them."
Then the recruit and his family ask Al about Miami's future and his only answer for almost 3 years was, "I don't know.?
How Golden and crew were able to get any players, much less guys like Duke, Tracy, Artie, Chick, Gunter, Bush, AQM, Tyriq etc.,astounds me.
Now with the shackles off we have a consensus top 5 class with studs pretty much from top to bottom.
