at this point none of us thought we had a shot at deon bush or tracy howard. who knows how things will end.

Deon bush was a Miami lean all along he just wanted to announce at the Army game. He was using Alabama and Auburn as a smokescreen..
 
Herndon at DE, I like the sound of it but feel like that would be a project where I'd rather sign another DE if Griffin qualifies and we find another TE. With Herndon at DE you do not know what your getting besides athletics. Also whats the word on Sharieff Rhaheed. Seen on Espn we were projected to get him.

You don't know what you are getting with most DE recruits besides athletics. Give me the athletes.

Still don't know why people want to fire Golden when he's recruiting like a monster and building for the long haul.
 
Swagger: thoughts on trey carter?

Personally, I've been dying for UM to get back to recruiting the Dallas area. Probably the area of this country most like miami in the sense that there are some serious mean streets in Dallas, big time HS football at great schools (carter, Roosevelt, etc). We used to poach kids from the Dallas area all the time (Texas in general) and we've stopped the past 10 years.

Don't know much about pinkston - hoping swagger can shed some light.

Pinkston is harrrrrrrrrrrrrrible. It's in the same district as Dallas Carter, but Dallas ISD has fallen on serious hard times over here..... all of the football powers are suburbs, the inner city schools either can't keep kids eligible, their kids play basketball (or drop out), or - rarely - they just transfer to a suburb football school. Even Carter is a shell of it's former self at best - they get smoked when they play the "powerhouse" teams these days. And.... Pinkston is one of the very worst DISD schools. This kid's stock has gone through the roof in the last month, and someone told me when i asked about this kid that they think it will come down between Texas & OU for him - he's gotten that hot.

One of the "suburb" schools I'm talking about is Desoto. They have speed on speed on speed (they sent Dontre Wilson to Ohio State last year, and in 2010 they beat Miramar over here). They call themselves "Desoto U" and use the U hand sign. When I go to their games, I always see lots of Miami gear - probably more UM gear than UT or Texas A&M. For whatever reason, maybe it was Armstead (who is an eternal legend for his HS days over here) & Kevin Williams, these south Dallas schools really latched onto Miami in the 90s and it remains. I don't know why we don't hit the area harder, our brand's probably as strong in this little pocket of south Dallas as it is anywhere else in the country outside of south Florida.

Our Texas recruiting is lacking. No reason we shouldn't be able to pull a player or two out of there every other year at least.

His point is that none of us know ****, and crazy stuff happens every year (for the good and bad).
