Hey, at least he gave Coach Rick an A for this class, right? Can't be good without his blessing.
Luke is not wrong in saying those guys have very strong ties to SoFla, but then again, any guy who grew up in Miami and played ball there does. It's no different for any other local coach. Luke just goes about it like a complete @ss and only does things that benefit him or the guys he's looking out for, which is not the U. He's like every other handler down in SoFla....he gives Randy a bump for taking 1 LB per year and giving his kids free rides.
That said, I think they will be very tough of the recruiting trail, but it's not the end all be all. Shannon does NOT have a great eye for talent as he states. He has missed on more guys than i can even count, including his stellar MNW class. He usually plays favorites and doesn't play the best player....which gets him into trouble.
I know nothing about Corey Bell, so i can't comment. I'm most concerned with Seider. He has nice ties and produced some good players over the years. Plus, according to some, he's not afraid to play dirty.
