Cristobal: Best Class in School History…Good Start

Mario Cristobal delivered in a big way on National signing day as he was able to bring in a top 3 recruiting class that is being called the best in Canes history. Coach Cristobal joined The Joe Rose Show on Thursday morning to talk about his class

Best on paper no doubt, but if it turns out better than either of Butch's 97 or 98 classes after development, then we'll win a NC.....

Evaluations,and recruitment were on point....All that's left is development. That's why it's imperative to have the correct staff in place. Otherwise it'll be a lost cause.

Talent doesn't coach or scheme itself to championships. Remember, Larry Coker nearly lost a pair of games with the 2001 team that had no business having a close game to BC and VT. Had that talent not been coached by Davis for a few years, they lose those games.

I love that Mario can recruit, but **** it, get an OC that can score points so that athletic talent can tee off on both sides of the ball.

My point was simply that I don’t think Hunter would be playing for Sanders and passing up more lucrative opportunities if he didn’t already have his NIL deal in place with Barstool. Sanders alone is not enough of a draw for a player like Hunter to pass up 6 figures. Frankly I don’t think any coach is, though Dabo believes he and God are more important than NIL. Sanders has a similarly over inflated ego but neither if them are sh*t without the financial backing. Kids aren’t stupid and were not alive when Sanders played in the NFL.

I saw that quote from Dabo today. Big eyeroll.

I agree with the first part. And the second. As to the final, if things are anywhere close to equal, do not underestimate the current draw that is Deion. Lots of kids know him, in part because he's done a tremendous job staying visible over the years. I don't like him, but he's a **** of a self-promotoer.
 
I mean so, no mention of staff changes, at least not concrete. I hope Mario isn't one of those "smartest guys in the room" that always believes that his way is the best way. I'm an avid Mario supporter....I just hope he let's go of Gattis because if we have 2022 2.0 in 2023, boy oh boy...idk if a top 1 class in 2024 will be able to stop the planes from flying

If you look into a snow globe of the OB and chant Butch's name three times an FIU visor will appear at your feet, a sweaty polo will lay upon your shoulders, and the ghost of Melvin Bratton will sit awkwardly on a barstool, clearing his throat and staring at you until you drink a glass of water.
