If these kids cant see whats happening at Miami I dont know what to think. We shouldn't have to have some kind of 10-2 season to sway kids to come here. Things are changing dramatically and they should have enough sense to know that it takes more then 6-8 months to over come the crap that Manny left us. The facilities are coming. The coaching staff is another thing that should jump out to these kids. **** even the administration and support they are showing has got to make an impression on these kids and there families. Add to it the whole Ruiz cherry on top, to me its kind of a no brainer to come to Miami.
You're right **** it. Seems like every year a new coach takes over at a big name p5 school, goes 8-5, and still lands a top 10 class because recruits have bought into the changes and direction of the program.
We’ve been a mediocre program for 20 years. You think 5 star QB’s are just gonna come because we have an invested program now? Miami has to show on the field what an elite program looks like on top of facilities, coaches, etc.
Because that’s what’s being said against us by other programs that don’t want to see us back. Not to mention the toxic nature of South Florida coaches getting bags to talk us down.
That last part. Lots of turncoats within our backyard with their hands out.
Most likely? Nah, they 100% will be underdogs vs OSU. OSU will light them up.
Nah, it applies to us because we haven’t won at all during that time. When we actually started winning we signed our best class in 18 and then we **** the bed all the way to rock bottom which was losing to FIU. These kids want to come to Miami we just have to give them a reason to, and up until the last six months, we have given them every reason not to come. Nobody on average recruits the way we have the last 2 decades while not only putting out a **** product but also not investing in the program itself.
Yeah but I think his point is USC and Texas haven't done anything of relevance in about 15-20 years either and aren't getting the same scrutiny we are. Granted, USC has Riley now and he has been in the playoffs, but we also have Mario who turned Oregon around very quickly and some of their best recruiting classes ever.
Ah gotcha. Agreed.
SC has had way more success than us the last 15-20 years. They aren’t what they used to be but compared to us they look much better. Even Texas has been in two title games in the last 20 year with the last one being 09. They suck even more than SC during that time but they at least won their last 4 bowl games. It’s not the reason they are having success in recruiting right now but it just underlined what a **** stain we have been. We aren’t even average, we have outright sucked but even then anytime we show a pulse the national media can’t wait to run the ‘is Miami back’ story.
I think we will be top 5-10 in recruiting. Those 3 schools in particular have their reasons. ATM throwing 25-30M and Jimbo has won a natty before, Texas is throwing around a lot of money and USC might have one of the best offensive coordinators in college football along with a lot of money.
His own alma mater gonna drop 60 on his squad.
Because except for 4 weeks in 2017, all Miami has been to them is a completely dysfunctional program that doesn’t invest in football. When Texas, A&M, and USC sucked, at least they were supported and had top notch facilities.
