Amazing how these kids go to these schools that just 50 years ago were still fighting to keep black players out of their teams....

Yeah Bear Bryant and Bama, looking at you, guy started recruiting black players because his teams started getting their *** kicked

Actually is wasn't that easy for Bear. They wouldn't let him recruit black player. He schedule USC purposely, so they could kick the crap out of Bama. Embarrassed, the powers at be let him start recruiting black players and agreed to accept them. I have no idea what Bear's personal feeling were but regardless of motivation, he was a positive force. Your right about the reasons, just point out that Bear intentionally exposed the weakness in proactive effort to recruit blacks. I have family up there who worship Bama and Bear and I was alive when this happened. You might understand or might not but trust me, he risked a lot personally with that move. Whatever his motivation, he kind of broke the dam on the football filed.

I was there when Ray first stepped on field as Cane. It was only 3 or 4 years before Michell(I think Bear actually flipped him from USC) at Bama. Actually Michell had an offer of an academic scholarship from Bama before that but was committed to USC for football. The big delta for Miami was Howard recruiting black players not exactly fitting norms -- Howard went to the "hood" so to speak. For me , most of the guys he recruited were not "thugs". They seemed to enjoy that rep more than they deserved it. Either way, he took kids who probably could not really drive through Coral Gables at the time(Although that is bit of a stretch by then).

All that said, I hate seeing our kids going anywhere but The U. Nowhere is there more a family for them to join rather than a quick atm hit. We relish them while others merely put up with them. Nobody has the family our older players created and continue to support. not sure you can put a price on that. The real difference between The U and every other school is not a date on the calendar or its location; it is the fact that everything we are was the product of all those players who did it. It was not the adminstation or rich donors or tradition, or even a legendary coach it was those kids who became men before our eyes every week and still come back in numbers others can only dream of. They built the tradition, helped the school flourish and made coaches leendary. That is why it is crazy for ANY player, regardless of color, to go any place but THE U.

It would be really interesting to see what would happen if over a 2 year period, the top 300 or so black athletes went to black colleges in football and basketball.

I’ve often argued that if the fab 5 went to an HBCU instead of Michigan it would’ve changed basketball significantly. And I write this as a 60 year old white man

I doubt it would have made a major difference. The HBCU still lacked the facilities, coaching and resources to maximize their potential. Also lacks the access the access to exposure, which is essentially what made the fab5 the fab5.

Castro Jr. is you, Cuck Slayer. The Left has always been the party that sided with Socialism/Communism. You’re an idiot. Please read a history book.

Also, why do you have to start political **** on CiS?!? This site is for talking everything Canes, not for attacking other people’s political or religious beliefs/preferences.

Trump bailing out farmers because of his China trade war is a form of what? It starts with the letter "S", I can't think of it, oh wait socialism.

The United States allowing Cubans in legally under the wet foot, dry foot is again a form of socialism. Your *** would be rolling Castros cigars if it wasn't for socialism.

I know I know socialism is only bad when it help nonwhites. You are "from spain" like every other cuban republican.

When/where did I make a personal attack?

The epitome of logical fallacy would be to superimpose a new definition and supposed intent onto a word and it’s user. Especially when that word is “racist” and requires no argumentative strategy to make it relevant when America was established by and is currently operated by people who are “racist”.

Thank you for proving my point. You’ve already arrived at the conclusion you wanted arrive and will dismiss any evidence to the contrary.

Shut up 🤦🏾‍♂️ haha. That’s your preference. Working in higher ed, I know successful HBCU alumni who are enjoying lucrative careers. Man stop making asinine comments about a community you know absolutely nothing about. You wouldn’t hire an HBCU alumnus but that’s why you are you and that’s fine. But when I am having meetings with high reps from Adidas responsible for the signing and marketing campaigns of our biggest sports stars today or having a scientist from NASA come down to speak to my students and they are proud HBCU alumni, I know you don’t know what you’re talking about. And that’s not counting everyone I know.

Man go somewhere with your ignorance. “HBCUs aren’t beneficial for the culture.” Man you don’t anything about our culture.

I once worked at another major p5 school and they just constructed a curriculum/graduation plan for their students about 5 years ago. Students who opted for that institution were unfortunately wasting their time taking whatever classes they felt then appealing for a interdisciplinary degree because they took trash courses for 4 years.
