"Talent" is worthless if its not developed. Who was the last five-star player that really lived up to the billing? Duke Johnson? Before that? Kenny Phillips?
We've had a lot of blue chippers Coker Era forward and most of them fall on the side of underachiever. We have had 25 consensus five-star players per 247 since 2000...only EIGHT of them played more than three years in the NFL. So, when we go back and say "the NFL will judge us"...yeah, they have and Miami has some talent, but a lot of that talent is ******* cheeks and were bills of goods. Blame who you want.
There were articles a few years back talking about most underachieving teams in college football...and THREE of the top five were Florida, Florida State, and Miami. Listen man, I am all for state of Florida players. Especially South Florida players. They are awesome. ...but there are also a lot of really overrated players from the area as well and we just so happen to get a lot of them.
Miami has a lot of problems...institutional, administratively, coaching...but Miami has a talent problem - extend that to cultural problem, too.
