Where the top 25 players in Broward and Dade signed

Advertisement
There are 49 NFL current players from Miami and 36 NFL current players from Broward for a total of 85!. So these two counties combined are the richest talent area for the NFL today.

Yet out of the top 50 HS foot players Miami and Broward so far UM has 5 or 10% committed, say we end up with 7 or 8 out of 50. That is just NOT cutting it, not when are the only P5 school sitting in the mist of this vast wealth of talent. Something radically has got to be done differently.

If you want me to read the whole thing press enter after every player.
I will say this. This is the second list I have seen in the past 24 hours saying Frank Ladson is the best player in South Florida this year. That is ridiculous. I have seen games this year where Ladson has been a complete non factor.

How could he possibly be the best player in So Fla when Munoz also plays in So Fla.

They've always somewhat quietly recruited okay down here but I was about to have aneurysm if they got more South Florida kids than us this year- despite any notion that the Dade class was less strong than usual.

I'm not sure what makes it more embarrassing...the fact that Miami whiffed on most of the players they offered, or the fact they barely offered anyone in a sea of prospects that went to Power 5 schools.

Exactly!

I don't usually get to bothered by misses. Those are going to happen. What always bothers me most is the studs that we don't even offer.

Kids who are good enough to go to Clemson or Florida but not good enough to earn an offer from our 7-5 five staff.

Had a great discussion with one of my boys about this.

We were both in agreement.

Losing out on Evan Neal, Jadon Haselwood. Not a big deal in the grand scheme. As I said in another thread...they are Aston Martins and we are on a Hyundai budget.

BUT.

Losing Michael Tarquin after being committed for a year to the Gators?
Losing Jarvis Brownlee to the Noles after being the first to offer him and having his commitment for six months?
Telling Nayquan Wright "no thanks"?
Ignoring Kaiir Elam until a month ago?
In a class where you need OL badly, you ignore a Central OT Wardrick Wilson throughout the entire process and you end up with...ELGAMMEL?

Just examples, but some downright buffoonery in the Hecht. Mismanagement. Improper Planning. Trash evaluations.

This has happened like clockwork here until numerous incarnations of coaching staffs. And these **** classes always end up the same...pass on Miami-Dade, Broward, or State of Florida studs that would be Canes if you were on them throughout the process, but Miami ends up with bums.

Saying no thanks to Ricardo Allen, but signing Devonta Davis. Saying no thanks to Skai Moore and ending up with nobody because you THOUGHT Matthew Thomas was coming. Ryan Shazier is "too small" but you take Tyrone Cornelius. You have James Wiggins committed...tell'em no thanks, but sign Jeff James.

Who sanctions this buffoonery?

You feel EXACTLY how I feel.

Here's my thing...

Let's say I'm looking for an LB.
Of course I'm going to go after the elite LB's no matter where they're located...
But if I have a choice between two relatively equal kids...one out-of-state and one in South FLA...I'm recruiting the one in South Florida.
To me that's a no brainer. He plays against superior competition and it establishes a better relationship with local programs. I'm not passing up a local stud LB for some kid out-of-state unless he's marginally better. (which hasn't been the case with most of our offers)

I don't think people understand that the local kids/coaches know when Miami offers an out-of-state kid over them (or their teammate)
If that particular out-of-state kid is trash, these local kids/coaches will LOL/SMH at Miami. It creates a bit of animosity towards the local program.

When Buford played Deerfield, Jalar Holley did absolutely nothing and Brandon Dorlus balled out.
How do you think that looks to people who know? Makes Miami look like slapd!ck recruiters.
You passed up a local DT with offers from Clemson, UF, Auburn, Oregon, etc...for some lumbering kid from Buford Georgia?
You don't think the Deerfield players/coaches are saying "Miami offered THAT kid over ours?" (they are)
And then our fans ***** and moan when we can't get Deerfield kids.
You don't think Carol City players/coaches feel the same way about Ray and Wright?

A lot of these local prospects are tight with each other.
And they all know who's good down here and who isn't. Certain kids are held in high regard locally, among their peers.

When a local kid who's widely considered a baller by everybody down here isn't offered/pursued by Miami, it makes us look like we don't know WTF we're doing.
