This staff is a bad joke. How is it that in the year we open a state of the art IPF, which was said to help in recruiting, we have a class that will finish in the 20s.

Just goes to show that wins and losses are more important than ever to these young men. It isn't like we're losing then to Valdosta State, but instead to big time programs who have every imaginable bell and whistle we we have and then some.
 
Going into the visit Miami hadn’t spoken to Lucas in a few months, he reached out to them which seemed to be a free visit (they orginally told him no, but eventually let him come) but turned into something to think about. I can’t say Miami overtook FSU but I’m confident as of this second we are running at least second which had been Florida. I’ll agree with pretty much everything Stefan has heard but MOST IMPORTANTLY he still visit Florida and FSU, so with that I think he will be hard to flip at the end of the day.

This just shows how crazy recruiting is and what happens when the staff brings there A game.

At the beginning of the cycle, I didn't want Lucas. Given how much of a **** show recruiting on the OL has become, I've changed my stance immediately. I'd love to land Lucas and hope we can pull a flip.

"I was told Miami will circle back on a name you may remember from the summer: Homestead TE Rahmod Smith. Smith impressed at some of the Mark Richt summer camps, and earned an invite to Paradise with his play, but UM never pulled the trigger on an offer. Smith later committed to UNLV and now Miami will kick the tires here to see if there is any interest."

Look at the testing numbers" 5.11-40, and near the bottom if not the bottom of all the testing done at various combines/camps. His vertical jump was almost the lowest tested. This guy has division 1 potential?

Brian Polendey had far superior testing numbers including a 4.88-40, his vertical jump was near the top. Polendey was about 25 pounds heavier when he came our of high school.

It doesn’t look overly positive as of today on some of our targets but I’ll wait till signing day before flipping out. I can let you know Miami is stepping up the recruiting game so hopefully it’s not to late

Please don't take offense. But you need to show this energy the entire cycle, not once things are starting to look really bad. If they had kept up the same recruiting pace, we'd probably not be in this situation. That, and well, results on the field.

Once the toxicity sets in down here the recruiting tanks hard. Flash back to Folden going from beating Alabaga and Ohio Taint for recruits early to him stealing Bobyonce’ and Henley at the 11th hour from FIU and FAU late in his abortive tenure.

But, bro, all we need is facilities, bro! New weights, bro! New dorms! New IPF, bro!
 
I know more about the kids we are recruiting by following their twitter account than the coaches do. Clown show by CMR.

Totally agree, and this also includes staying in touch and having a recruiting board that consists of ABCDE options at all times

I think another problem is we STEP our game with guys we have no to limited shot with, due to SEC schools having more resources
