WTF are some of you guys talking about? SMH

What Hammond said is spot-on and it's a concern I've had with this staff for years. They don't recognize legit talent in their own backyard!!! How the **** does LSU and Ohio State offer a kid from Hallandale before Miami does?! If Miami's staff was doing their due diligence they would've been on top of that kid before anybody else.

We're *** backwards at Miami. It should go like this...

1. Miami discovers local stud and offers
2. Other schools from out of town take notice and offer afterwards

It's the other way around with us. Out of town schools discover kids in our own backyard and then we come to the party late. That's pathetic. Show me somewhere else in the country where that happens.

Hammond isn't saying anything wrong. What he's implying is that Miami doesn't show any love until other teams start offering, when it should be the other way around. LOL @ Hammond having offers from the National Champions before he has an offer from the school 29 minutes down the street.

Exactly. This ain't 1990 anymore where UM can dictate when the recruit gets recruited and the recruits waits patiently. EVERY school is out recruiting kids and showing the love and at the end of the day, that's what gets the kids. Gotta play this game - can't afford to stand back above the fray.

If you're the University of Miami you should have the jump on any prospect from a loaded school. If the kid plays at Central, Booker, Northwestern, Saint Thomas, Monarch, Miramar, American Heritage or Hallandale you should be able to recruit him before anybody. You should assume that EVERY YEAR those schools have guys that can play for you. While you FREQUENT those schools you do some fine combing at some of the other local schools. Ely, Boyd Anderson, Flanagan, Cardinal Gibbons, etc. If you have your ear in the streets and you have the admiration of local coaches then you can find some studs at less heralded schools that have begun to receive interest from D1 programs. Every now and then you'll find a kid at Piper High or Western High.

Sounds like you should replace Al

The slurps will keep making excuses and blame the kids. You are 1/2hour from this kids school. If you don't offer him fine ,but offer after schools who are thousand of miles away. No way and that is what is unacceptable and some of you dont seem to get it. You hit every single school in the tri county, every single one. Not some when they have a good prospect. Point blank period.

That's the guy that tweeted the pornhub tweet right?

“If they had a different approach to recruiting kids it would help. They didn’t start recruiting me until later. They have to start recruiting kids early on because if they were my first offer I would probably be committed right now. They came in so late, it’s like they don’t really want me there or don’t know what they want.”


This type of thought process is ridiculous.

This, I've said this. This is what recruiting has come to but yet I got blasted by a poster here for saying that.

Right from a horses mouth.

Preach brother preach!

South Florida prospects talk Miami Hurricanes
By Gerry Hamilton


COCOA BEACH, Fla. -- When the top prospects get together at an even such as the Pylon 7-on-7, there are always a number of interesting topics on the recruiting front to be discussed. In particular, last weekend’s 7-on-7 featured many of the top skill prospects in Broward, Dade and Palm Beach counties and that meant the Miami Hurricanes were a topic of discussion.

When talking about Miami in it’s current state, the main question is when or if The U will be back among the nation's elite.

After a 9-4 season in 2013, the Hurricanes took a step back in 2014, finishing 6-7, albeit with a talented freshman quarterback in Brad Kaaya who certainly provides Miami fans hope for 2015 and beyond. That means the 2015 season is a make-or-break one for Al Golden and staff with the rival Florida State Seminoles winning and recruiting at a very high level and the Florida Gators sure to get the recruiting bounce in 2016 after a coaching change and the ability to sell a vision for the future to top prospects in the Sunshine State.

While the Hurricanes finished with the No. 23 class in 2014, Miami is expected to finish in the top 10 annually since it sits in the most talented area in the country. The Class of 2016 is off to a great start with eight ESPN Junior 300 verbals and has the early look of a potential top-5 class, it will be the 2015 season that tells the story on how the class will finish.

On Saturday, RecruitingNation asked a number of top prospects from the area what the Hurricanes have to do get “back,” and improve the chances of landing some of the top prospects in the area.

ESPN Junior 300 ranking: No. 207

What does Miami have to do to get back?

“Show me this year what you can do when so much pressure is on. All the talk about firing your coach, how do you bounce back and make things positive from a negative.”

What hurts Miami the most with area prospects?

“Unstable coaching staff, rumors about Coach Golden getting fired, coaches leaving, players not wanting to go there and it’s not interesting like it used to be.”

It's been reported by pay site now that "Highly regarded 2016 recruit Devin Bush, Jr., who lists UM among numerous offers, is hearing negative recruiting against Miami. Who is he hearing it from? And where does Miami fit in with him?"

FSU is slow paying him but...that could change in not too distant future of the fall season and Devin blows up.

While his Dad was an FSU baller and grad, he played in the NFL for several, is coaching Jr. at Flanagan, and had a great relationship with UM & NFL all-world Warren Sapp> So I do wonder which team is may be feeding into Jr's narrative that he'd like UM coaching to be stable, considering the hot seat-ness of Golden. Can anyone paraphrase what that negative crootin' was about and from whom?
