Like I said to the other guy, I didn't say Miami is as close as Oregon to Breland's home, I said Oregon is still far away. He had USC as an option. Obviously it wasn't just about distance, since it's not like his only two choices were Oregon and Miami.

Regardless it doesn't matter. Mario is like 0-4 on the elite DT's this cycle. No bueno.

He got 1 so he's 1 for about 8
 
Some of y'all are just outright annoying with the tearing down of Joe. He was able to get good guys on the West along with a 5 star when he was out there. We've had distance ***** us over this whole cycle...he pulls Blount and some of y'all get church mouse quiet

This whole cycle trying to bring in DT was gonna be an uphill battle. 4-0 probably wasn't going to move the needle for kids but we got 4 star guys on our end of the world...and Pierre is still out there...we got Jones...ok, none of the national whales wanted to come down south to play here although we came **** close with Simmons, Scott, Franklin and Stone. We've done nothing short of given DT's a piece of land in the Gables to come here. Keep bussing these teams asses and recruiting them...they'll come

Thanks for posting this. Some of the babies on this message board are ridiculous. We went after kids that we really didnt have a shot at, not because we are inferior but because most of them are choosing to stay close to home or heaven forbid go to UGA. What a silly choice that is. Most on here have never coached anything at a serious level, but have all the answers on who to play, who to recruit, what plays to run, how we should recruit, etc. I understand that is the point of fans message board but it's ridiculous to want to hang Joe for "missing out" on kids that we went after. It might take time and years of relationship building to get those types of kids and some of it would be helpful if they were down in SF also.
Mario and JT are not involved in these recruitments as well? They only get credit when we get a kid, but Joe takes the hit for a kid we don't get? That makes sense.

The **** is annoying AF man...if Miami was a breeding place for high school DT's you think we have this problem?? Of course not

The second best DT who is in Dade in 25 is committed to Norte Dame with a whole year to change his mind. DE won't be a problem but interior guys we are going to always have to recruit nationally. If we allow these guys to do their jobs we'll see and get the results we expect
 
The whole “Joe is such a sh*tty recruiter that Mario doesn’t make him the primary recruiter” is an odd defense.

The question that remains unanswered is why is UM having such a hard time getting national DT recruits. It happened in 2023 too, and we can't blame record then.

In my professional job, one of the things I do is root cause analysis. If someone gets hurt at the workplace, we can't just say, "oh well, accidents happen." There is always an underlying reason or reasons, even if it as simple as HR didn't do a good job vetting new hires and needs to have a way of identifying prospective employees who are likely to be inattentive.

You can't hand wave the poor national recruiting at DT and say its just because a lot of schools are after their services. If that was the case, we'd be striking out on national recruits at every other position, which isn't the case. It's not NIL, because we've heard that we areoffering more than other programs.

So is there a common thread? With LB recruiting during the Diaz tenure, it was obvious top LB recruits didn't think they would get developed and they didn't like the defense. During Cristobals entire tenure at Oregon, he never had a even one DT drafted. This past draft Oregon finally had a DT drafted that Cristobal recruited, and he went in the 7th round.

So is that the problem? Are national DT recruits looking at Cristobal (or Joe's) track record and seeing that it's not going to help them get drafted? It could be they don't like how the defensive scheme uses DTs. I don't know the answer, but we need to figure it out. It's great we got one elite kid who happens to be local to give his verbal for 2025, but one in 3 years isn't going to cut it.

We have an elite DT committed already.. and there are still DTs on the board Miami is still recruiting. Every other elite Dlineman that committed to another school, location was the #1 reason not Joe or some failure by the staff…. it’s just the nature of the beast. Bc we could’ve just not been in the running at all with any of them like with Manny Diaz.. So how is that a failure? . Nobody is entitled to recruits bc it’s known your favorite school is after them. A coaches job isnt on the line bc he can’t convince a kid to choose Miami over the home town school or his dream school so stfu with your delusional second life narratives. 🤡🤡🤡

I mean it's disappointing AF...but what do you do?

We've thrown NIL money...we have playing time galore to give...what more can you do?

I swore we had Scott and that ended up a no because of distance
Franklin loved Jason Taylor but grandma wanted him home
Stone loved Mario but decided to go back home to Oklahoma
Simmons gave us a listen but decided to stay in state at Texas
4 top end defensive players at a premium position of need did what we expect our kids to do...STAY HOME IN STATE🤷🏾‍♂️
I'm just asking bawse...what more do you do?
 
Don't we have that DT from Alabama waiting n the wings. Get u a good portal or Junior college one. We'll be okay. Plus we got a leg up on one for next yr. I mean what's the complaints about people's. Win baby just win n they will come. Coaches working every avenue out there. Trust the process n enjoy the show people's
 
Oregon is offering more. If he (his family) is making a decision based on money, rather than his favorite (GA), then maybe it’s that simple. Not sure this one is on the position coach. Oregon looking like a well oiled machine right now doesn’t help us, I’m sure.

If we keep offering big boy money and winning on the field, we’re bound to flip a guy and do very well in the portal.

Sucks, but not end of the world. Don’t think Breland is a sure thing as a prospect, fwiw.
