Mario has a significant national recruiting budget. No reason not to look around the country for the best People for your program. Coachable people.
For some reason this board has a weird fascination with trying to discredit South Florida high school football talent. It's borderline obsessive.
One "study" and now all of a sudden there's a decline of football talent in South Florida?
Let's make sure we notify the other 100 universities that are dying to recruit kids from down here. Make sure they know that there's no talent left.

I get paid by the Maude's per negative article.Don’t you already know that people post sketchy shlt on the site just to get attention, if it’s a negative against Miami or South Florida all the better for them.

Yet the geographic area continues to produce the most players that play major power 5 ball.And if you stick with one geographic area, you will continue to get players who shouldn't be playing major P5 football.
Theres over 40 nfl players from S.FLa based off of the posted....i dont see it slowign down any time oon...it may ramp up more than we have been with out weight limits for over 10 years in youth ball.I believe the data shows SoFL's grip as #1 is weakening very quickly.
I would'nt doubt to see a fall to top 5 within 5 years or so.
With that said, SoFL remains a strong pipeline.
San Antonio-Austin Metro should start ramping up soon.
There are reasons for that. First, it’s a backlash against the “South Florida 3-star is a 4-star anywhere else” mentality that used to be all over these boards.
Second, it’s backlash against recruiting these players. A top kid from Ohio will commit to Ohio State 99% of the time with zero drama. Same for Alabama, Penn State, and so on. A top kid from South Florida? ****….there’s way too many games. Too much decision respecting. Too much enjoying the process. Too many Josh Jobes out there. Follow that for a few years and the kids become unlikeable.
Third, there’s a grain of truth that talent in South Florida isn’t what it was in the 80’s. Too much 7x7 and spread offense is creating a softer breed of kid down here. It tells you something that Nick Saban isn’t looking for any of these 5-star Florida kids (Innis, Brown, Hykeem) to be the next Calvin Ridley. How many top South Florida kids is he recruiting right now? Add that to the arrogant diva mentality mentioned above, and you have your reason for why people take their shots.
That said, South Florida is obviously a hotbed, nobody can dispute that.
Actually, 7-on-7 has INCREASED the talent of skill kids in South Florida.There are reasons for that. First, it’s a backlash against the “South Florida 3-star is a 4-star anywhere else” mentality that used to be all over these boards.

Bingo. The question is what areas provide the most P5 talent? The second question is the most G5 talent? The number of kids pulled from SFL is all the matters in relation to other areas.For some reason this board has a weird fascination with trying to discredit South Florida high school football talent. It's borderline obsessive.

The evidence isn't there to claim that anymore.There are reinforcements on the way in the next few classes. South Florida is still on top overall.
The bigger concern is the collapse of the Canes. We always ranked highly on NFL lists even when we sucked. Richt did a surprisingly poor job of acquiring talent.
It's relevant for the same reason that the odds of the median top 20 player from an Ohio HS putting * in his top 3 are greater than the odds of that player putting Oregon in his top 3, having a talented local pipeline is a competitive advantage even for nationally recruiting schools. It's also potentially a small advantage in the portal re: poaching kids with ties to the area.I still don't understand why this is relevant. College football teams aren't required to pick an area to recruit from. You can recruit anywhere you want. South Florida having the "most" is still only a handful of draftable guys every year. But here we sit with almost 50 south Florida guys on our roster.
No one in the country, including Miami, can win anything by getting half of their guys from one geographic area.

(including QB's)
South Florida has never been a place for OL, TE or DT's.
So, no change there.
We're not the only region in the country that runs spread. (everybody does)
And how do you know what Saban is looking for? Did you just reference Innis?
Dude, Innis is probably THE TOUGHEST receiver in the entire country. Kid could probably be a D1 Linebacker if he wanted to. He's an animal and dawg.
For all this BS talk about SOFLO diva mentality, we see OOS kids act like divas all the time and we brush it right under the rug. Doesn't fit the agenda.
The HS football culture down here is quite fvcked, but we're still the most talented region in the country. And the thing about toughness is bullsh!t. (especially pertaining to Dade kids)
Like 10 OOS teams came down here in August and all but one got their a$$es whooped and sent packing. (thanks Stranahan)
I'd love for somebody to explain that one to me.
They never have an answer for this though.

Would likely point to the Mater Dei's or those type of school that are pulling all the elite from the geographical area od those 4 schools listed. 3 of those 4 schools for the most part are splitting kids....not listed is Cardinal Gibbons as well who would smack around a lot of out of state teams.
The Broward publics aint sh*tty either.
Doing this with volunteer coaches smh.
Gentrification? You cannot be serious with that comment?African American neighborhoods are drying up in Dade.
Genrifcation is directly affecting those numbers imo.
