Randy makes Golden look like Jimbo Fisher as far as recruiting goes
It's really alarming that so many in this thread think that Golden passed on this kid.
We need more 2 stars
Khalil Mack was a 2009 recruit. Randy opted for AJ Highsmith and Shayon Green instead.
I'm sure u were crying for mack in 09 since you had him pegged as a top 5 pick in the draft coming out of hs.
No, I was actually happy with that class until the NCAA realized that Nevin Shapiro paid for that class and it would cause years of NCAA probing, sanctions, and loss of scholarships. Then I started to cry.

It's really alarming that no one can take (or even recognize) a joke on this board.
Fire Alfred Goldman!
he wasn't coach then but i get it. everything is his fault.
This kid will be the rallying point for all the people rationalizing us losing out on five star caliber talent.
This mack guy is the exception.
I was being sarcastic you all, calm down, just making fun of the "everything is golden fault" crowd
didn't we take Luther Robinson who was from the same school as Mack....in the same class? So in all likelihood, we actually had coaches watch Mack on tape and evaluate him. Yet we settled on Robinson. That makes the sting even worse....what a joke we are.
High School: Played for head coach Waides Ashmon at Westwood High School...had 140 tackles, including eight for a loss and nine sacks his senior year (his only year of football)...named third-team All-State in football-rich Florida, as well as first-team All-Area...helped lead the Panthers to a district championship.
2 star kid from South Florida goes to Buffalo, becomes top LB in draft.
2 star kid from Buffalo goes to Miami, becomes one of the worst senior starters in recent history.
We are being tormented for the glory of the 80's. Smfh.

Yes they went to the same school.
Here is a note from Mack's profile on the UBBulls site

Maybe the coaches did not see enough of Mack on film to warrant an offer. Again its speculative at best. Robinson also had a FSU offer too, so in watching Robinson they (FSU) had to have seen Mack as well. 7 D1 schools in Florida and all of them passed on this kid. In hindsight its easy to say that they all missed, but there has to be more to the story. Grades, film, no camps, attitude, 1 year of football, etc. Plenty of factors as to why programs may have passed on offering Mack.
But **** I wished someone at Miami would have taken better look. From covering the middle of the field, to lack of tackling. All of those things plagued Miami linebackers for a number of seasons.
