Exactly what a silly thing to think. How many kids are from South Carolina that Clemson has? How many kids are from Ohio that Ohio State has. The list goes on. You can win with kids from anywhere.
Honestly, we are still feeling the affects of years of negative recruiting against us IYAM
Anyone who doesn’t think we don’t need SFL kids is out of their minds but I know in a year or two, Mario is going to keep many kids home.
The program is fixed. Its the younger kids and their parents he is working on and that will fix all this. This '23 group is who they are and its fine. '24 and onwards we good. Jo Jo even left Central like Macho said cuz we on him and we good with Chaminade.
Wasn’t necessarily true in 01 and to specify we “need” the right home kids which is more about evals and fit than hype. Can’t recruit them all even if they wanted to.
This was my concern as soon as Mario got hired and then again when the gattis hire was announced. You are in WR heaven you have to have an offense that is tailored to them, yea because you want to keep our elite talent home but more importantly thats what college football is now. WR is the premier position after QB in football today. I think gattis will do well, he’s a good oc but his type of offense is not what u bring to Miami, Mario will realize it soon
You can also ask how many Florida kids do winning teams have and make a comparison.
Facts we can feast of MiamIMG and national kids, them the ones buying into the vision right now and in some ways that's great. They only coming to work. And then we got Ray Ray and the twins from down here. We should never be begging these kids. In the past we had to because our HCs were so inept outside of FL
Florida kids & south florida kids are two different things lol
On that 01 team, how many of our key players were from Florida?
To some degree. How do you feel about Lakeland and Tampa kids. Not too bad…
How many did LSU have? If they are elite we should want them but if they dont wanna come and work we can get players from other areas. I was watching some throwback cane games on YouTube and we had so many stars from all over the country and all over Florida
I think that Al and our last coach tried the OOS thing and it didn’t work…
Which dude?
A lot but a lot of our leaders were from Louisiana, California, Oklahoma, New Jersey………The point isn’t that Miami doesn’t need to recruit Florida well but more so acknowledging that yes…..a mix of Florida and OOS brought massive success and will again.
I agree
