Not sure. I know UF checked in on him again recently hoping to offer and they came away saying he wasn't going to qualify. Kid is dynamic though.
How the **** does a kid from THAT school not qualify? Ridiculous
you just answered your own question. one has grade concerns, one is a 4.0+ student. one might have to go to prep, one is an EE in a class we need to back load due to a small 13' class. One is apparently one of the guys our incoming QB wanted, one is on a team with a serious target, at a position of need, that we can't even get an in home with. seems pretty clear, if they are comparable in other places, who you leave out and who you offer.Don't see why he's a moron for his opinion. Berrios and McKenzie are very similar players, all else equal why not take the local kid? I think that is his argument. You have a beast slot receiver/returner wanting to stay home and he got no interest yet they went out of state and signed the exact same type of player. I don't think that discredits Barrios who is a beast in his own right, more questioning why his player isn't getting the attention he thinks he deserves.
I know Joker Phillips has said McKenzie is a top 5 receiver at his position nationally in his opinion and if he had a few inches and a few pounds would be nationally regarded. Brian Kelly thinks he's one of the best playmakers in the country, everybody who has watched McKenzie has come away saying the same thing. But word is he won't qualify anywhere this year which may be a reason none of the florida schools offered.
Let's say Miami did offer IM and he committed...people would be crying about Lamar Parker.

Yep, the uncommitted player is always better

You know what gets me?
We got the guy with video game numbers! We got the guy who broke the record for the shuttle drill that stood for 10 years I believe! We got the guy who has the right mentality and attitude that is in every Cane! Yet I read that this McKenzie kid is just as good? HOW???? Please tell me! Berrios, because of his attitude, mentality and leadership is one of our list important recruits, yet we are flipping out over this other slot receiver? Is it because this kid is from South Florida? Please get out of here. Berrios is the real deal! Support him an stop thinking about who we didn't get/offer!
How? Watch for yourself:

Kid is super talented, and he is in south florida. I know some say it doesnt matter but to people down here it does. Some guys are really peculiar about that, I remember one of the best scouts down here was religious about miami taking the florida kids over everybody (RIP LAUS)
None of the Florida schools offered.
Is the expectation that Miami is supposed to sign every single player that graduates from Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County?
So If none offered why isnt he on FSU and UF as well??? **** I swear this doesnt happen anywhere else
Isaiah Mckenzie is awesome. He is as good as Berrios. They are both great. He will do VERY well at ND and EVERYONE on this board will **** that another South Florida kid "got away".

He's going to ND. That tells me that even if we did offer him he wasn't coming here.
South Florida kids that choose ND over any in-state schools tend to be the ones that just want to get away.

not equal, shouldn't be a question. that said, kid looks like a playmaker, and if there was room i would like him.

There's no way you let McKenzie go. He's a human highlight reel. I wouldn't make it an "either or" with him and Berrios.
Berrios is an EE and Mckenzie hasn't qualified…
