Manny on Recruiting and the University of Miami

[Hoyacane1620]

From his press conference today:


* Diaz also spoke about recruiting, hinting that there are things in place to try and prevent decommitments.
“There are some things we are changing in what we’ll do to take a commitment,” Diaz said. “Not all those things are grandfathered, but what it means to be committed and a certain criteria for that to happen. There’s a criteria for what happens when you are committed that has never been in place in the past. Our recruits are aware of that now, I don’t want to get into the details. But from the inside out, if we don’t put value in something, it’s just sales. … Before you value it, I have to value it. The way we look at ourselves, current players look at ourselves, it has to come from inside this building. The next step is from our fan base and community. Part of that is not tolerating people not respecting the University of Miami, the hometown team. That’s personal to me, my staff, our players. The University of Miami is going to get back to where it needs to get back to with players that love the University of Miami.”

That's nice and all but Manny you have to do your part too and win games brother

 

[canesglory]

All that sounds great but when u don’t compete for championships, it’s all just noise

 

[MS76cane]

Diaz was not handed a dynasty.

Diaz was not handed a dynasty.

Too many people just don't get that and think we should be 14-0 this year and in the playoff.

That's as powerful statement, I hope he backs it up.

Diaz was not handed a dynasty.

Kirby was handed a mustang and turned it into a 911 turbo. Diaz was handed an economic sedan. Let’s see what he does with it. As of now that sedan has two flat tires

 

[caneaddict]

gotta finish strong, I think recruits would look at 2 early losses better than 2 late ones

[brock]

I agree With this take

 

[Paranos]

Ah yeah.

Go Canes

 

[Waffle Honcho]

Sounds like Keshawn wanted back in maybe?

 

[WhatTheHell]

The way we’ve been getting punked something like this needed to be done.

It’ll be difficult to pull this off if we look like shlt the rest of the year, though, so here’s hoping.

 

[1hurricane]

We’ve been saying this for years!!! Stop letting all these recruits and their families attend home games for free.

 

[Core Values]

I agree with this

 

[wSmokin Sebastian]

I dont think its just attending games. Its being on campus and at practice 3 nights a week that make it just another place to hangout.

 

[Tad Footeball]

I agree with this 1000% if we're 2-0 right now or 0-2......but this is another thing Manny better be providing more than lip service to. If he says all this and we STILL get clowned with decommits and on signing days then what's the end result? It's Manny looking like a joke.

u really think this man is going to be able to recruit and close on elite targets on NSD? **** nah he isnt even if we were 2-0 its just never been a strength of his

Good, sounds like Manny is setting up a bag network.
