you guys fail to realize that boosters aren't the only sources of money to recruits.
ever wondered how drew rosenhaus scoops up basically everyone that played at Miami?
because he went to um.....lives in miami.....knows about the kids when they are freshman...and is very visible locally...been on channel 7 every sunday n the sports show since i was a kid.
plus dude is cheap.
Drew 'll shoot u a lil loner car or something when u sign..but he aint doing what them sec/big 10 boosters are doing.
**** them fsu kids from down here are riding around in camaros and challenger's etc. kids from the hood.
Add this to what vern said and the picture is clear. You guys live there, know players, parents, handlers, etc. and speak the truth. But still, many posters will laugh at cane4life and other who question how in the world some local talented kids who claim to be lifelong UM fans just chose to go somewhere else despite all the effort the staff does to reel them in. To make their points on how bad the staff is, it is ALWAYS the fault of the staff if a kid chooses to go somewhere other than the home town school.
Yes, Golden greatly disappointed this year but he has been a much better recruiter than both Coker and Shannon.
