There have been some absolute gems on Mario's recruiting philosophy posted in various threads the past couple of days. Decided to collect them in a thread for better discussion and searching in the future. Will update as more are posted.

- Whenever and wherever possible, crush the Gator and any hopes they have in resurrecting their recruiting/program. @LeedsCane with potentially the greatest post in CIS history
- Overrecruit at all positions and never get caught without a plan A (prime). @TheOriginalCane shared some major wisdom
Official - QB Jaden Rashada: COMMITS… & then Flips to the gator… & then the gator welches on the payments so he doesn’t enroll and rescinds NLI
^ posted on June 8th in response to a 247 write up from a Texas 8&4 writer. Again seems as though rookie Billy showed all his cards too early, while those with the better hands just sat back and watched Again, this is the difference between a desperate recruiter like Gaypier and an...

- Win over a recruits family, then win the recruit. Nathaniel "Ray Ray" Joseph summarized this point well when he said "What Miami did the best was recruit my family". Jackson Carver said what sealed the deal in his recruitment was Mario winning over his family.
Sebastian Lane Show Interviews BOTH Reid Mikeska & Jackson Carver
I tried to tell you guys that Rasta was going to bring the heat in tonight's episode after stirring up a hornet's nest last night with the 3 TE take. He and Dave interview not only Jackson Carver but also Reid Mikeska Edit: Direct link to Jordan Carver interview Edit: Direct link to Reid...

- Recruit harder than a position coach and know everything about the recruit.
Ray Ray Says Mario's Building a Wall.
Must watch/listen episode of Sebastian Lane w/Rasta and D tonight. Ray Ray said the biggest difference with Mario at Miami is: "A lot of kids from home are going to stay home. You're not going to see too many kids leaving Miami.....Coach Cristobal is building a fence" Brown and Innis I think...

- It's the little things that matter in recruiting. @DMoney points out it's the little things that can cause a kid to commit. And it's the little things that reveal if you're next level recruiting.
The little things
Quick example of how immersed Cristobal is in the world of recruiting. Hayes Fawcett is the graphic artist who does commitment edits for all the top recruits. He is friendly with the kids and talks to them a bunch. Recently, he posted the embarrassing tidbit about ‘24 five-star Desmond Ricks not...

- 4AM in the morning is prime time to impress recruits and close. This revealed itself in both the Ray Ray and Kirkland recruitments. Not sure if he does this with all recruits or just certain situations but clearly shows he cares more than the competition.
Official - 2023 WR Nathaniel "Ray Ray" Joseph COMMITS

- Schedule each commitment announcement to maximize momentum and publicity. @LuCane noticed the trend w/Popo. The proper staggering of posts makes it seem like the Canes are a recruiting jugerrnaut and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The Bank (7/12)
How can a top RB not look at the OL that will be blocking for him and not sign here? I feel very good about Christopher Johnson but expect him to go through the process.

- Each recruit gets a customized official visit plan catered to their interests. @luke_chaney4 broke this news. Suspect this is one reason why Mario has an insane closing percentage after officials.
- Every commit becomes a recruiter.
- Once a kid commits, recruit them AND their parents with even greater intensity. Some coaches make the mistake of reducing contact once a kid commits. Maintaining a commit may be even harder work than obtaining the original commitment.
- @Ghandi : [Even if the situation appears hopeless] If you prioritize a kid, you have to recruit him until he signs. That’s the difference between an elite recruiter and an ok one.
2024 - Jerrick Gibson RB
Mario will get him. With each successive class he'll have a less difficult sell.
