Miami gonna need to win a natty to keep this kids home and to get a good amount of the elite kids lol other schools just will not be held to the same standard.

Must be a ****** existence to sit around all day waiting for bad news so you can run here and validate your existence

 

[MedleyCane]

All the other elite teams have no problems adding elite players every year

Really?
Lots of elite programs worked hard and failed at recruiting many of the elite players that we landed, who helped UM beat many of these said elite programs.
We currently have a roster containing highly recruited kids who are going to be unsatisfied with playing time this upcoming season because we are deep.
Are we really going to do this?

I comment often and praise Mario a lot more than I do criticize him. He’s the right man for The U, but I will also acknowledge when he’s getting bodied on the trail and he is right now.

We’ll probably whiff on Olu too

If Matthews moves first, and current intel suggests he could, then that decision will directly influence Olubobola’s path. A Matthews commitment to Texas A&M would likely shift Olubobola’s trajectory elsewhere, with Miami emerging as a logical landing spot. If Matthews returns to Miami’s side, the Aggies would be in a prime position to close on Olubobola. Ishmael Camara is another one we are watching closely with the Aggies being highly active in his recruitment too. Oregon and Texas are high on his list as well.

Nebraska, Ole Miss, Notre Dame and Auburn, among others, remain involved with Olubobola, but this race continues to center around the same two programs battling for Matthews.

There is also increasing buzz that Olubobola’s recruitment is accelerating. At one point, there was a belief that he could come off the board first. Now, momentum points toward Matthews potentially making the first move, with both timelines tightening as official visits approach or begin to wrap up. Things are still very fluid for both.

If we're not spending big $ on a premier OT or upping an offer to Jacobs or the DT from Chicago or Henderson then who are we spending on?

Retention?

You spend that kind of money on kids that you depend on playing a lot next year. If you can't get it through recruiting HS kids then you spend it in the portal.

 

[RVACane]

Im sure we’ll end up fine.

We’re poor now

If he actually signs with anyone but Miami it's a flat out inexcusable miss, just absolutely no way around that. Our program is literally built around OL/DL but really OL considering Mario. You don't let the #1 OL in the country who happens to be less than an hour away go anywhere else.

Yet we retain a highly talented and deep roster every year in a college football world of year to year free agency.

A miss yes, but sometimes a kid just does not want to come here. What more can Mario do? At some point its still a 16-17 year old KID deciding.

Need Matthews for the optics but at the end of the day 1 of these 2 kids is Gucci.
