This is exactly why I tell FSWho folks that Akers will never amount to Cook
did i miss something, he already announced?
Another lesson...silent commitments are not real commitments.IMO
Also I would add don't ever except a demand that you don't recruit other players at his position if he is not publicly
committed and his recruiting is shut down.

That's right Cook is next class so that sums it up even more. I think tthe staff would've stayed local if they saw enough talent they liked. Its obvious they're not in the business to just offer 3rd option talent just bc there's a need at a position.How many elite rbs coming out of Florida / south Florida this class?? Can't think of any besides Cook brother. We got Burns who is a beast too but don't think its a bad idea to recruit an OOS rb that's interested
Yeah in this case we had to. Down year for running backs in south Florida other than white(fsu), burns and Felix
I heard miami when did it get announced for maryland?
Pete announced it..he called miami coaches

Now that is on the real. Silent commit is not a commit . Anyone who thinks differently.
Miami should never waste time with out-of-state running backs.
Five of the Top 15 rushers in the NFL are from Florida. No other state has more than one. Three of the Top 12 rushers are from Dade County alone. Edgerrin James, Frank Gore, Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis, Duke Johnson, Lamar Miller, Ottis Anderson, Alonzo Highsmith, Melvin Bratton. All Florida guys.
If there was ever a year to recruit an OOS back, it was this one. The state was low on backs. And chasing an OOS back still blew up in our faces.
I think back to the Class of 2009. We spent all year talking about Bryce Brown. Eight years later, Lamar Miller is one of the Top 10 backs in the sport and Brown is selling steak knives. Let's hope Robert Burns follows in Miller's footsteps.

A public commit isn't real either until the pen touches that paper on NSD

DMoney I agree with you in theory, but you said yourself that the state was low on backs and McFarland had a pre-existing relationship with the staff, plus apparently was a silent. What should they have done differently in this specific case? Other than offering a plan B but I don't want any Danny Dillard's on the roster anymore.
It's buried somewhere in the McFarland thread. But did say he's not coming.I heard miami when did it get announced for maryland?

where did pete say this?
The only lesson here is that money talks.Newsflash: The local market isn't loyal to the home team. Going all in on Sony Michel, Cook, Scarlett, and Collins didn't pay dividends either. We had a better shot at McFarland than we did with these other 4. I see no lesson learned.
Local first, Florida 2nd, National 3rd. If we are going after national guys, it's because the local market ain't producing at the level. Selling South Florida works pretty good on a National level and I see no time wasted.
