We spend so much time on recruiting, but we rarely take time to look back. This series examines every class for the past five coaches- Manny, Richt, Golden, Shannon, and Coker. As Mario’s first class enters Year 4, what are the trends he needs to avoid if he wants to break the cycle?

Of course, bad coaching and development played a massive role in our downfall. But for this exercise, I wanted to focus on pure talent acquisition. That’s why I use NFL numbers. The NFL has the most...

The best player while at the University of Miami might be Colin McCarthy outside of Bosher.

A continuation of recruiting fat sloppy offensive lineman continues, and its no shock the converted TE with athleticism, Jason Fox slid in easy as a starter almost immediately. The next season, I felt there was a pretty good about face by Randy Shannon with the type of OL they were going to recruit (this is assuredly Stoutland's influence as well)...Orlando Franklin, Harland Gunn, Tyler Horn, Brandon Washington, Malcolm Bunche, Jermaine Johnson were recruited in the next three cycles and all would become starters somewhere around CFB, the first four would for start for us.

I felt Symonette was a big disappointment. Was a bit of a mystery recruit with late momentum, but websites were hyping this guy, and I think he ended up a decent 4-star type. This cat simply could not play. Big for nothin, not athletic, and soft.

Lol right first couple days werent so bad but jeez its like reliving the down fall everyday dont worry it only gets worse an worse an worse. Hopefully by the 3rd decade Mario has us str8. I think we have a really good team this year. Just hope were str8 at WR, safety, and Becks health he should be good behind our OLine this year and our run game should keep the D from firing off on us too. Were young which is a plus were going to have alot of young dudes that have played alot of ball next couple years!

We're definitely on the right path now. I know everyone falls in love with first round draft statistics but my wish for awhile now has been to just get back to getting ton of players drafted! I miss the days when we had at least one player on every NFL team. And most were actually contributing.
