Of the Power 5, Miami is near the top in the number of offers given out since 2012. Interesting stuff...

Recruiting’s Biggest Bait-and-Switch: The Uncommittable Scholarship Offer

The average Power 5 program hands out roughly 200 more scholarship offers than it can follow through on, and the numbers game has real-life consequences.

The most important issue is not how many offers you put out, but how many of the offered players actually end up going with you (i.e. hit rate).
 
Thanks for the post. Excellent article.

Best guess on why Miami is near the top of scholarships offered is this from the article, "There’s a reason the sport’s bluebloods are missing from the top 10. The schools passing out the most and earliest offers are typically secondary programs in competitive conferences."

Like it or not, we have been a mediocre program in a mediocre conference, but unlike the Dukes and Virginias of the ACC, the Canes are going up against the SEC powerhouses for elite level talent, which has a lower hit rate.

Thanks again for the heads up. Really enjoyed the article's intriguing perspective of this trend.
 
I could have swore we gave out the least Offers. Hence why everyone is always screaming why we havent offered this kid or that kid. I'm not buying it. I feel like at least since richt we've been at the bottom of the offer list

I would like to see this by year. There was a chart last year put out by 247 I think and Miami had offered like half the number of the other major schools.

Yeah, agree...would like to see a year-by-year breakdown, but this is all that there was...an aggregate number since 2012...and, there are the Canes sitting near the top of scholarships offered

Not all schools are listed. The chart is a bit deceiving.
If you go back to the article and scroll over the graff slowly, you'll see schools like Bama and uF lingering around us .
Bama is only 6% less than us and uF is 3% less on scholly's offered.
 
1) Canes should never, ever read Sports Illustrated. They championed shuttering the program and you're gonna give them business? Go root for Florida.

2) As said by others, Golden offered EVERYONE.

Yeah, good catch. I did notice that after you mentioned it. Big problem, though, with the offering more scholarships than schools have room to take...Thinking Miami said no to, at least, Emerson and Boykin to hold some schollys in reserve for what may possibly pop up in the transfer portal.
 
Blame pre-Richt era. Last few years our offers hold more weight because we don't over offer! I loved that about Richt but also see how that has hurt us. I will continue to like their focus of the Tri County area first, then all of Florida, then all of the US. Try to keep the studs "home". Yes, I know it doesn't always work but I love the idea.
