Sapp and Lewis are not from "The state of Miami".Easy solution to fix UM's recruiting woes and keep trolls out from the State of Miami: 1) Recruit one leader in the So. Fla area who other players completely respect and has a mouthpiece on him (Highsmith, Irvin, Lewis, Sapp, Blades, McGahee, etc). 2) Recruit a leader from a power out of state school (LB Poly, Mater Dei, Jon Bosco Prep, Norcross, Dorsey, etc) who has a mouth piece who others respect. 3) Bridge the gap of in-area coaches and finally (probably thee most important way to stop this bleeding is 4) WIN GAMES, STOP MAKING AN @$& of yourself on PRIME TIME TELEVISION, and WIN BOWL GAMES....
If No. 2 and 4 are handled this year, we won't have to worry about this anymore.
In 83 there were 3 elite recruits from Miami and we got 2, not to mention 2 from Palm Beach County and we got neither of the 2.
We never have and never get all the elite athletes from the tri county area.
True Sapp and Ray Ray were not from the tri-county areas, but they were leaders in So Fla when they got here and they had mouthpieces on them.
You said we never got ALL the elite athletes from the tri-county areas....well I think it's safe to say that NO SCHOOL gets all the surrounding elite athletes. USC doesn't get every elite kid from LA, Orange County, or the Valley Areas. LSU doesn't get every kid from Baton Rouge, NO, or Kingston. Bama doesn't get every kid from Tuscaloosa, Eufala, or Montgomery....I think you get the point. We got a great share of tri-county kids in our hey day. From Brett Perriman, the Moss Brothers, Sean Taylor, Blade brothers, Mel Bratton, Mike Irvin, Randy Shannon, Willis McGahee, Frank Gore, Brandon Harris, Phillip Buchannon, Mike Rumph, J Vilma, Andre Johnson....I mean dude, I literally can go on and on on who from the State of Miami (which extended to the Tampa Area) made up our program. Yeah we're going to lose some elite talent to other schools; that's inevitable, like the Derrick Thomas' of the world, ESPECIALLY since we were stacked at his postion when he graduated. However, we're losing our boys to schools b/c of the state of our program today. We should lose out on the Valentines and Petersons and Bowes of the world year in and year out. The Dalvin Cooks, and E Lanes, or A Cooper, S Watkins...we're losing these boys at an alarming rate bruh....and that needs to change by the 4 point formula I provided earlier.
