My initial reaction when I read these statements from highly ranked recruits is that we are dropping the ball in some way. I have come to the startling and uncomfortable realization is that I was goldenized to a certain extent, as much as i would like to deny it. The irrational fear is that we will never be able to assemble enough talent to take back what should have NEVER been lost. Today i get to balance these thoughts with facts:
1. Never take what these kids say about our recruiting efforts at face value, they have too many agendas.
1a. We did not have the best access to issues such as grades, character, bag game, and interest.
2. We have for the most part a competent head coach and coaching staff.
3. We are starting to see our roster dotted with and recruited for old school miami calibre talent.
4. We have coaches that take the right chances on kids that might not have the right amount stars behind their names.
4a. Those results are solidified in the names of the likes of Jackson, Garvin, and Smith.
5. We have even more to look forward to when the rest of the college football world gets introduced to not only our highly rated talent, but to guys
such as Ivey, Wiggins, Rousseau, Williams, Perry, Joyner, Ford, etc...
