Yes, Miami has done a good job of recruiting top recruits from other parts of the country over the last few years. At the same time, we've had some ugly misses as well with some of the OOS signees. Now, imagine how much more success the program/team would have if we had kept guys like Devin Carter (Doral HS), RJ Luis (Columbus), Jamal Mashburn, Jr. (Gulliver Prep), Jizzle James (Olympia HS - Orlando), Riley Kugel (Dr. Phillips), etc.? And that's just the tip of the ice berg. I could go on and on with guys over the last 10+ years (since Coach L has been at Miami) that became NBA pros that we completely missed out on. This short list are only some of the players from the last 2-3 classes. All guys who Miami either didn't recruit at all, or barely did so. I don't think anyone is saying Miami should stop recruiting nationally. However, I do think we could've done a better job of keeping some of the local talent home.
