It takes time to build the kind of depth we need to offset players leaving early and put us on the same level as Clemson. We'll get there.
Yeah, but the difference is that Miami isn't losing top level players early like Bama, Ohio State*, and Clemson.
Miami is losing guys early that go in the late rounds or go undrafted. It's ridiculous.
Even better. They're easily replaced.
All ACC players are not “easily replaced.” Next year, we will have Bandy, Young, and Dean as our experienced corners. That’s terrible depth.
Yup and this year we had Young as the only returnee with experience. You don't build depth in one recruiting cycle. It takes a little while.
Besides, what team in college football regularly returns four experienced corners every year? It's impossible. Even if nobody leaves early.
Look, I'm not saying I think jackson should leave. I think he'd be smart to stick around another season. All I'm saying is the "woe is me, Miami can't ever get good if players leave early" mindset is complete garbage.
What are you even talking about? No clue where you’re going with this post. The “mindset” is complete garbage because....?
How do you suppose Miami gets out of the cycle of needing to recruit transfers and JUCO kids if Miami can hardly get any marginally draftable kids to stay for 4 years?
Miami will struggle to become elite if its backyard gets plucked by top schools simple, its always been that way. Get the best players in sfla and u will win, if u dont u lose simple
Right... it's like the stock market. If you are making good investments today with good vetted stocks, in the long run you win.

The mindset is complete garbage because top programs are always going to lose players early to the draft. Do you think Alabama and Clemson only started losing kids early to the draft once they had enough depth for it not to impact them? Like all of the sudden the coaches there were like "Ok guys, we've had enough top recruiting classes to fill your spots so now all of you can leave early if you want." Nope, they lost kids early to the draft and worked on filling those spots by recruiting.
Also, you're making it seem like every single kid who's been here for three years is leaving. We're looking at three maybe four players declaring early. Take a look at other top teams around the country and see how many underclassmen are declaring.
