This thread is a lost cause brother.

But a blast from the past name, I still remember reading about his recruitment in SI or Sporting News back in middle school. Believe he signed with Bettis and Bryant Young and ND had the top ranked recruiting class.

I’ll power rank the most important figures in Miami history.

1. Howard - program was heading to be dissolved as far as I understand it before he arrived

2. Jimmy - Set the culture and standard for what a Miami hurricane is and laid the foundation for that 10 plus years of dominance

3. Butch - A very close third. Jimmys assassin who played a role in talent acquisition in the 80s and later on as head coach. Made Miami relevant and a power house again.

4. Donna Shalala - a true supporter of the sports programs at Miami while president…especially the football team.

5. Al golden - he led us throw the Shapiro fiasco and was always loyal to UM during his time here. Without his leadserhsip, who knows what the NCAA would have done to us

6. Ed Reed - I hope Mario brings him back to coach DBs. I still remember him stripping the ball and returning it to the house against BC. A true leader!

7. Blake James - hear me out. He helped negotiate a TV deal with ESPn and the ACC that provided stability to the football program. Without that Tv deal we could be in the big 10 playing cold games in November. He also negotiated a great apparel deal with adidas to get us away from Nike. Adidas has done nothing but provide Miami with top of the market apparel and I for one love wearing their shirts that have the shoulder sizing meant for a pre puberty boy.

8. Ken Dorsey - led us to our last natty and was a consistent stable leader for the program. I hope Mario brings him back to coach QBs. He’s not ready to call plays. Hopefully Dawson can groom him so once Dawson gets a HC gig, Ken is ready to call plays.

First, you should be sent to purgatory for a decade for mentioning shalala, golden and blake within a list of the "most important figures" unless you mean it in a negative way in that their importance was SO DETRIMENTAL.

ill take a shot at this.

1. Agree
2. Agree
3. Agree
4. Alonzo Highsmith/Melvin Bratton. Both were 'local" national stars who could have signed with Oklahoma or similar then-powerhouses and chose to say home. Were the first two "local" national stars to stay home.
5. Jim Kelly. a high ranking "non-local" national star who refused to pay LB at Penn State. He arrived with Howard in 1979. Don't recall if he was recruited by Howard or Lou Saban.
6. Sam Jankovich. He brought in Jimmy and Dennis Erickson, both innovators and both relatively unknown coaches, at least one with a losing record IIRC. they accounted for three national championships.

Why is it a lost cause?
With all the things happening in this world and with my health issues last year, chopping it up on Canes' forum is paradise.
Trust me!
Yes, Burris and Bettis were the RBs in that Notre Lame class.

Richt was known to be a fierce competitor behind the scenes. Mario doesn't use all his practices either. He'd rather recruit. Guess it shows too.

I figured he was since he was likely recruited in 1977/1978. Howard arrived in 1979, but not sure exactly what time of the year. I was a kid and the internet was not accessible to me then

I was staying with my sister in NYC for a few weeks before the start of Culinary School when I spoke to a friend who told me UM hired Howard. It definitely was 1979, but can't remember a date.

I would rank Sam Jankovich fourth. As you said, he brought in Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson.

And I not sure Zo and Bratton were the first "local" national stars to stay home. You may be correct, but where were Eddie Edwards and Ottis Anderson ranked?
 
Kelly was recruited by Saban, but never played for him.

Was a DAWG!!!. What's he up to nowadays?

Though I was poking fun at the thread I will say yeah man…not just a dawg but one of the most humble awesome guys I knew back then. He was in the NFL and came back home and we went out with a bunch of friends and they wouldn’t let him in the club because he didn’t have an ID. People were losing their **** like don’t you know who this is?? And he was just super quiet like “no this is my fault I forgot my ID” kinda guy

He lives out in AZ with his family and just doing the quiet life which makes sense with how he always was. Just quiet and humble but a killer on the field. I think he was just too jacked which led to injuries. Like he was quite a bit shorter than me but just a bowling ball of muscle so probably led to his muscles just snapping

First time us guys went to watch him play in college he made a comment that Ricky Williams (Texas tech one) had been talking **** and he was going to make him pay for it. Pretty sure Williams eventually took himself out of the game because Bob destroyed him on every single play.

He and I weren’t super tight but we had a lot of close mutual friends so I would see him a lot and it was really cool to watch
 
Cooper is the more intriguing name of those two. Local ties, NFL experience and coached good defenses at Baylor and now Nebraska.

Edward's was the 1st Huge local recruit brought in by Saban. OJ was much earlier in 1975 out of West Palm Bch (Forest Hills) recruited by Carl Selmer.
 
Wouldn't Kelly's statistics of 33TD and 28 INTS be considered Van Dyke like except, in four years VanDyke was 54 and 28,
