A ripple effect

[shanks14577]

Whats up everyone first post (been a lurker since Ariz had the miami heat avatar).

Obviously the football landscape is changing drastically with the rise of NIL and fall of conferences etc.

There are three teams that have caught my interest so far this year. Miami (obviously), USC, and Texas.

The reason for this is these three schools have turned around their football programs from the bottom up. They hired new coaches committed to winning and invested the resources to allow them to do it. These teams' success so far is not fluff, they are truly setting up to be powerhouses for decades to come.

The reason this has caught my interest is because the common denominator for these teams is their location, dead center in a hotbed of talent.

Once these teams start rolling they will be keeping their top talent home, which will allow them to be succesful, but will also create a ripple effect throughout the college football world.

Not only will these three teams become great again, the teams that leeched their hometown talent will become worse. The days of Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Clemson, Oklahoma, etc. winning with talent from these three spots will be coming to a close.

When these teams can no longer take the top talent from these three states, they will be relying on "5 stars" from the midwest, northeast, and other less talented areas.

As these three programs rise, the rest will fall, and I am excited as **** for it. A new age of college football is coming and Miami, USC, and Texas are going to dominate it.

We are now, more than ever, ready to lock down the state of Miami. We will keep the 5 stars home. We will have the cream of the crop of the underrated south florida players.

The media is talking about Cam Ward and how he changed Miami for his final year. What the media doesn't know is that we are building a ******* empire. Every step forward we take, the schools leeching off of our mediocrity will take a step backwards. What a time to be a Canes fan.

Things can go to **** quickly ask FSU. With the portal one bad signee can gut your program. Enjoy this season and watch other teams for a Qb we can sign for next year.

Texas has always been all in with resources and they just cant win.

USC im not sold on. They are recruiting nationally and not locking down their home base..oregon has ravished there...its a lil weird but they are a team to watch.

I fully agree it can go to **** but I also believe this here is different. I think there is a huge difference between FSU and the teams I mentioned. FSU is RELIANT on the portal. We are now recruiting out of high school at an elite level. Obviously we struck gold on this year in the portal at the perfect time because we didn't yet have the talent. Next year we will have top talent in year one, two, and three in the program from players we recruited out of High School. Mario is not building a team that will have a run every 5 years. He is building a juggernaut of talent coming here out of high school every single year. Not only that, but he is developing said talent. If next year is not a disaster, this team will be a force every single year following once the building is full of HIS guys. We will sprinkle in transfers from here on out, but I seriously doubt we will need/want the same magnitude as we did this year. He is setting this program up to have a top 5 program every year.

Riley finally decided to invest in a defense. Im not saying they're an elite team yet, Im saying they will become one. Recruit nationally until you start winning, all of a sudden it becomes a lot easier to get local guys. If USC starts winning, these kids from socal ain't gonna want to live in eugene.

I believe I overstated what I intended to post. I don't think these teams will be dominant these next few years (besides the 2024 miami hurricanes run). I do think these said teams will become dominant once they start getting to and winning big games, because they will start to lock down local talent. I think this year all three will win or at least show serious promise, which will set up a recruiting snowball that won't be stopped.

What does this have to do with recruiting?

I’m kidding. But seriously though, that’s a lot to read.

Shoulda put this in off topic maybe lmao. Had 3 coffees, couldn't focus on work, and decided to sunshine pump.

Surprised you didn't mention that all 3 are also major metro areas where there's simply more sustainable money to support these programs at a high level, and the viewership necessary to command commercial leverage. Just need to keep investing.

That plays a huge part but I wasn't intending to talk about why they will succeed but more about the ripple effect around cfb their success would/will have. The original point of my thread was supposed to be about how the rise of these three programs will cause a negative effect in recruiting and talent acquisition for the current blue bloods. While these three programs rise and begin to acquire top local talent, the blue bloods will be forced to recruit elsewhere and will consequently acquire less top talent. In essence, as we get better, they get worse.

In 22 they brought in over 12 defensive players in the portal

In 23 they brought in over 9 defensive players.

In 24 they brought in 9 defensive players.

They have been spending a bunch of money on defense and have still been sh*tty.

I agree when USC is cooking like us they usually get all the elites in so cal. Im not sure dude is the coach to do it though.

I addressed this monstrosity above.. kindly. ONCE

My bad...I scrolled too fast. I have the attention span of FSU run defense.

In general, I think youth football is down in CA. A lot of granola parents that don't want their kids to get concussions and CTE that pull their kids from the sport once then graduate from flag to tackle.

 

[shanks14577]

Surprised by the hospitality. This team must be rubbing off. I know if this was posted back when I started reading the board the franchise woulda ripped me a new one lmao.

In my opinion, one of the more interesting things about CFB this year is Clemson.

Will Dabo finally relent and use the portal to upgrade his team? He started off at Clemson with some hard times (Clemsoning), but then hit on back to back quarterbacks and great recruiting at other position.

Clemson was also known for effectively using walk-ons and unrated guys. It got them 4 Championship appearances and 2 wins in 5 years.

Dabo hasn't been hitting on the impact recruits lately, and has essentially struck out with QBs.

Will the administration force his hand to use the portal, or will the heat get hot enough to force him to use the portal.

It would be very strange to watch a coach work build up to National Champion caliber, and then regress back down to the middle of the ACC all due to the coaches hubris.
