Luke isn't racist and lol at fans still upset over Luke's comments. I remember when Ice and SFL coaches hated the white coach from the north and we would never get another BTW kid again.
This. Golden pulled Kirk ands offer, and somehow that's Luke and ices fault lol. Golden HOMERISM has gotten WAYYYY out of hand. Chad Thomas, Ryan Mayes, DJ, and Mike Smith all commmited. Artie Burns.....Luke letting golden know about Amari, Ice and his staff having to persuade Matt Thomas to actually pick up PHONE CALLS from UM. However according to multiple posters none of that stuff counts, ice and Luke are racist and agenda driven against Golden THEY say.
Man Ive agreed with you a bunch in the past but I think you are being biased here. First and foremost I do not reside in Miami, so excuse me if I am off on all the details of everything. The Kirkland situation was messed up but it seemed pretty clear and cut for me. Here is what I do know, Miami and its fans(according to all types of people on different Miami sites including ones on this site) were under the impression that Kirkland was gonna end up at Miami. On the flip side FSU fans were running around laughing at us and saying that Kirkland was gonna end up a Nole just like M Thomas. Then out of the blue, we hire FSU's ace in the hole S Florida recruiter as our new OC and within a weeks time, not only did the Kirkland sage unfold but reality set in that Thomas wasnt coming here. Using deductive logic and what we heard from others, it was clear that Thomas and Kirkland were FSU silents and Coley gave us this info. Why else would Al have done what he did? It makes no sense whatsoever. You say that Ice persuaded Thomas to pick up the phone when Miami called, but why did the staff think Thomas was coming for so long as reported by posters like Pete and others? If it was all gravey why the confusion as it related to the staff? When that all goes down Luke goes on a rant against the staff that came off very racially driven.
I think both Ice and Luke do love Miami but their actions at times show otherwise as they did last recruiting cycle. Im gonna give Ice credit for D Jackson, that was a great heads up, gotte give credit when it is apparent that credit is due, but Im gonna call BS when it looks and smells like BS and the Kirkland situation was BS. Maybe Luke has a weird way about him, but his words and actions last cycle were really detrimental to Miami and we were being laughed at by our rivals. I will give Luke or Ice credit when it is due but I just cant ignore it when they do things that are not only head scratchers but outright shots at the program.
