To counter the negative recruiting:

"We lost the last 3 games because we were a little short-handed. You can help us right away and help us get to an NC."

"Come to the U and we'll treat you with respect and consideration and look out for your overall well being."

Will the positive U recruiting bear fruit? I believe it is currently and will continue short and long term.

Overcoming the mediocrity of the last 15 or so years won't happen overnight. And yes, winning will play in huge role as well.

In a perfect world that would work but unfortunately this generation is a bunch of front running b##ches. Look at the Nba with guys like Durant wanting to join the best team instead of working to beat the best team

It wasn’t no LSU game..... he committed to bama weeks later after he and burgess Becker were set to commit to Miami at the Florida football fire tryouts, this was in the spring not during the season

These kids are football players not modern day prostitutues, we know the bag game is real but if the bag game was the end all be all, how come we don’t see a collective spread of elite recruits throughout every school that offers bags? Why do we constantly see the same 3 or 4 schools grabbing all the 5* recruits, why don’t we see more bidding wars & kids committing to schools that if bags weren’t involved would make no sense to commit to? If Bama is offering some kid $100,000 and he’s the 6th target on their board but another lower tier school is offering him $200,000 and he’s the only target on their board, why don’t we see Bama whiff more on targets? That’s cause bags are sweeteners, at the end of the day, these kids want National Coverage, winning championships and to be drafted high. Bama and Clemson are constantly getting 5* recruits based on pure resume alone, Saban has gotten these kids to see him as a god, who can put anyone in the league, throw in the fact that he will also pay $100,000 for you and only then does it become a no brainer. Bags are merely sweeteners

My statement still Valid, the bag game is definitely real but to pin all of our recruiting woes on soley “bags” is unrealistic, mediocrity for nearly 2 decades, 2 awful coaching tenures, no National Coverage and burned relationships with schools are the reason why these kids are making Miami their second option, & when Saban is promising them a championship and a spot on an NFL roster, you see why “bags” aren’t the end all be all

Gotta find the dudes that took Ridley and Jobe’s SAT. Those dudes are the Jenga pieces. Anything else is futile. That would vacate titles and take away schollies and god knows what else.
