You see it all over the college football landscape these days: If you win they will come. Recruiting is a strange thing, and it sorta reminds me of that overwhelming feeling you get when you're at a game and your team goes on a 12-0 run, the whole building is rocking, everyone is hitting their shots, and it feels like nothing can go wrong. On the contrary, sometimes your team commits penalty after penalty, can't stop the run, your home field advantage is gone because the stadium is dead quiet. In other words, recruiting is all about MOMENTUM, for better OR worse. You saw it yourself....after winning 10 games, taking the nation by storm with the turnover chain, being in the playoff discussion, uncle Mo was clearly on our side and it resulted in a top ten class followed by chants of "The U is back!" Fast forward to this season: We go 7-6, massive de-commitments, talk of guys transferring, a rabid fanbase resulting in the unexpected retirement of our coach, and Boom!...uncle Mo was clearly against us. Two years, two contrasting pictures. That takes us to the present, where Manny comes in(an exciting hire according to most of us sensible fans), the poaching of one of the most respected QB coaches in the business from one of the most respected programs in the business to run our offense, the signing of stellar talent from the beloved portal and it looks like we're back in business. Deep down, most of us realized it wasn't enough to salvage this class, but with the influx of talent currently on the roster and the awesome pieces acquired so far for the 2020 class the future looks promising. That being said, the recruits will be watching, waiting to see if "The New Miami" mantra is legit or a smoke-screen. Make no mistake, uncle Mo will be watching as well.
