I’ve called Corner Recruiting the “Quincy Wilson CB curse” for years now, where we haven’t been able to close on/target early the top corners in South Florida. You are correct, we’ve lost guys like Quincy, and with that Marco pulling Cj Henderson, Shawn Davis, and Brian Edward’s. We couldn’t show development so we missed out on Pat Surtain (never was coming), Tyson Campbell, Asante Samuel, Jason Marshall, Tyrique Stevenson (out of high school), Ben Hanks, Jaden McBurroughs, and a bunch more that I can’t think of and we all blamed Rumph, when the reality is we couldn’t develop the ones we got.
I thought Bandy, Ivey, Frierson, and Blades would break the streak and develop and go high in the draft but that never came to fruition. Also thought us landing Tyrique via transfer would help as well but nope.
The day we get the top dog corner(s) from down here and develop them into a top round pick is the day that Quincy Wilson will stop haunting us.
