Stop it. Recruiting is a 2-way street. Just because we pursue doesn't mean the feelings are mutual.

Your posts are generally fair, don’t see how you can argue that end results are not what counts. Recruiting always a “2-way street” so what?

TriStarCane’s second point is valid as well. Blame it on coaching turnover plus trying to legitimately step Baack Up or dozens of other reasons which can also turn into “2-way street”, you either succeed and Win or you Lose, period. Just like Games; No EXCUSES.

Go Canes‼

Nobody is "making excuses". That's something a simple-minded person says [I mean when you offer an explanation and someone confuses that with "excuses"].

But all the "pursuit" and all the money doesn't matter if someone doesn't want to pick Miami. That's just reality.

All this "just results" talk is an over-simplification. It is.

I've never said that results don't count. But you can't force results. You work as hard as you possibly can for the best possible results. But there are no guarantees.

That's not a smart-*** answer, I'm just pointing out the difference. The coaches are working their asses off and are whiffing right now, for a variety of reasons which include (rival) schools spending a ****load on retention, the upcoming House settlement, and certain schools working towards P2 membership.

I love @Trinton Breeze , but he does not realize how common police escorts are in Dade.

When I worked for ISC/NASCAR, I had several police escorts from downtown to Homestead, along with corporate officers & directors.

Agreed as to the working hard, truly believe Mario got that covered, and as to the no guarantees; but miss me with the oversimplification part, how else you going to measure?

Please, you’re do not sound like someone that grew up with effort grades next to your REAL grades and took solace when the former was an A and the lattter a C.

Regardless, think we both want the same thing:
U WINS‼.

First, I edited my post to be more clear.

Second, I had As my whole life. I don't know what a C is.

Third, I have no problems MEASURING by results. But you cannot GUARANTEE results.

Look, I was rush chariman of my fraternity and I worked with President's 100 (the student-tour wing of UM's Admissions Office). You can do a great job of selling, a great job of pursuit. Some kids still make different choices. You are talking about kids in the 18-22 year old range. Sometimes they make BAD decisions.

There is a very tough needle to thread with PORTAL recruits because of the short timeframe. If you try to recruit MULTIPLE options, in case one kid doesn't pick UM, you run the risk of losing that kid to a rival who "loves him more". That's what I was alluding to with D'Antre Robinson. He visited UM before he made his decision to enter the Portal. We thought everything was solid, but we were also pursuing Gooden in case Robinson stuck with UF. Did that cause Robinson to look at UNC? You'll have to ask him, who knows what is in a 19 year old's head?

Did we exert maximum effort with Robinson? Yes. Did we try to protect ourselves in case he didn't enter the Portal (which happened with numerous other "recruits")? Yes. Did Robinson pick UNC? Yes, for god-knows-why. Did we lose BOTH Gooden and Robinson? Yes we did.

It's weird. We've got Robinson's former teammate coming to Miami next year (Dereon). How Robinson suddenly ended up at UNC, and then took Greg Smith with him, I have no idea. Maybe Belichek's girlfriend impressed him, who knows.

It sucks to lose out on recruiting battles, but I've seen us take our lumps for 40 years. Just keep grinding.
