1. Local Coaches.
After doing allot of research and talking to a few boosters, basically Randy Shannon was setting up a pipeline between a hand full of high school coaches and Miami, this ****ed off allot of the high school coaches that were outside of the circle. After Randy Shannon was fired & Golden came in, Golden tried to establish a relationship with ALL the coaches and you add that with RS firing, there was animosity from Ice Harris + company.
Randy Shannon #1 reason for being hired at Arkansas for 1 reason, Establish a pipeline to South Florida coaches that are loyal to him. Those HS coaches can not come out publicly say it but they feel like Miami has turned their back on them and they are fighting back. The Kirkland situation was a spark they were looking for.
Matthew Thomas
People need to know those.. Mathew Thomas was never going to end up in Miami, Golden and company had a chance at one point but their loyalty was to their HS coach. You don't have to tell a kid "don't go to Miami" but you can install an environment that doesn't favore Miami. I hope he has a good career in the NFL.. i hope he sucks in college.
Uncle Luke
As much as I disagree with pretty much everything he sais, i stil respect the fact that this guy is one of the reasons why The U was The U. and we can't forget that. He does make racist comments and he is doing allot more harm than good to this program right now but he is a nobody when it comes to recruiting to Miami.
Kirkland
I know he is going to Arkansas and I am saying it now but I always believes he was not needed in this class. We needed D players and if he was from Oklahoma and he was interested Miami we would of never offered. He is not a Miami fan and he was being pushed here by his parents. His choice of Arkansas over FSU (where is best friend is going to play) was to slap Miami in the face and go play for Randy.
Our Current Class
As a Miami fan I love the fact that this class is small and every player we know so much about. I love their personalities and no matter how these guys pan out I will always have respect for them.
Alex Collins
I think the attention go to this kid. he became a "rock star" and i know some of you may not believe this but the attentino he was getting from Arkansas fans (on and off twitter) he loved it. Everyone was confused how a guy can not pick the absolute best place for him to play and the blaring logical choice...well .. enter Gatewood. Alex wanted the attention but he knew Miami was a better School/team etc. Gatewood convinced him that in Arkansas he will have more playing time and he will be the only back. So this was what Alex needed to hear (even though this is absolutely not true and turf with Bielmans running game will require multiple backs because the chance of injury is so high)
The kid told friends and family one thing, told coaches another and told himself something else. This story may or may not end but Gatewood is a scum bag beyond words.
Since Alex won't be playing against Miami I wish him the best of luck and success.
Sources, Rummors & Percentages
are all bull****. We need to take the information that Ariz + company give us and take it for what its worth. Instead of forcing them to give us percentages. ALex Collins told our staff he is going to be a cane.. Pete sais a cane lock and the kid goes on TV and sais Hickville and we ***** at Ariz lol.
in state vs out of state
all bull ****!. Its easier to recruit local kids because of distance but a 5* in miami does not mean > 5* out of state. We need kids that want to play in Miami. Harris, Luke etc are talking about Miami doesn't recruit Miami kids because that is a way to rile up the local community. They know **** well Golden does recruit local and not just local 2 schools but the entire area.
Golden
he is freaking awesome.
Biggest disappointment
Keith Braynt. Witht he type of trolling he did I expected grand finally. but it was a flop. Everyone knew he was going to FSU.
Hext Season
Cristobal + Coley were NOT full force this year. Coley was at 0 (Golden did not want him to sound like an idiot in front of recruits going back on his words)
These guys see something in South Florida in 2014 that can build a National Championship caliber team and they want it. Don't be surprised if we end up with a top 5-10 class in 2014.
Next year I am going to not follow recruiting as closely as I have this year.. my heart can't take it. God Bless! I am OUT!
