"Who wouldn't want to play in their hometown"



Apparently most of the elite talent from South Florida the past 7 or 8 years.

Kid is a STUD must break Bama's WR streak.

*Ahmmon richards*

I don't recall seeing him on the field much today after he fumbled and recovered, was he injured? Malcolm Lewis and Braxton Barrios got a lot of playing time.

Senior day today. It was meant for Stacy Coley and Malcom Lewis to shine in their last home game.

he's 160 pounds. I'm a Dominick Watt guy. But its early in his junior year. Around this time everyone was all over his teammate including us.

After watching paradise camp tape, this is the guy that stood out to me. This kid is electric, a complete game changer. We need to win some of these tough recruiting battles and change the fan mentality. Way too much negativity around here.

The ones who "wouldn't want to play in their hometown" are either front runners, or paid. AKA most of the south Florida athletes with the skill level to truly go to the school of their choice.

And these kids get worshipped like gods from the optimist level on up for joining up with the best all-star kids onto a handful of teams and beating the **** out of other teams. Check out the thread on the little 13U Hurricanes team or watch the spring transfer season at the high school level. Watch these kids follow Rolle or Ice or Smith or go to STA or whichever school is playing the current role of University school any given year. Look at the Southridge roster now, where all of a suddenly they're loaded to the gills. Watch the switch from Central to MNW this year that's been suggested. The whole culture over there reinforces the frontrunner mentality, then Miami people are salty when they leave to go play for Bama or FSU. Weird ******* culture that's hard to understand from afar and it's killing UM football.

This kid's going to Bama.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Jump ship when every things not going their way & people wonder why no one wants to stay home. The culture needs to change

 

[Billy D Williams]

This is why I say this team would be better served recruiting offensive skill players if the offense was more exciting and consistent. Where kids watch a feel like we can strike at any time. Know it won't happen but Richt should consult with some other offensive guru's to add more plays outside of his ol' school repertoire, increase pace and better play calling. We won't beat a beast like bamer for recruits with the preseason scheme we currently running.

Him and Lingard are the two must gets in that class

We'll get neither

I coach at the optomist level and that sh*t starts from there. Were blowing teams out by 30 pts and have parents walk directly up and say their taking there kid to another park he aint get enough touches. lol
Its crazy culture down here...but when um is WINNING..we got it sewed up. I almost shed a tear when two of my kids I coached said they love Oregon...Oregon..They don't even know where it is on the map.

When kids are being bought at the optimist level by paying mom's electric bill the culture is too deeply entrenched to change.

Trading kids has become a cottage industry down here. The "advisors" down here look at these kids like a butcher looks at a perfectly marbleized ribeye.

That's pretty much why the only thing that will help UM with the mercenaries and front runners down here is to become the cool school by winning. Catch 22 is it's tough to win big enough to become the cool school without guys like Dalvin Cook.
