That's why you offer early.
Miami is the only "big time" program that has to offer kids from their own backyard when they are in the 11th grade to even have a chance of securing a commitment. And the reason? It's because these kids don't respect Miami at all anymore. Our last 3 coaches ruined our reputation with these kids. These recruits love to clown on Miami and troll us on the regular, and it is f*cking infuriating.
Because we don't win, play the bag game, or anticipate well enough to cover up the other two.
It will rain excuses, justifications and rationalizations here about how 'close we were to X, Y, Z.' Anyone who's been following recruiting and college football for years knows it's a bottom line business. Last year, bottom line was we got Richards, Bruce and Mullins. This year, bottom line is we're chasing our tail on multiple fronts.
