This is correct and there are big schools offering ridiculous bags. The legacy noise holds very little water with Calvin, and Miami already dropping the ball with this recruiting. ***** getting ridiculous.

Legacy does mean a lot to Calvin, and the question of how basketball fits in is a valid one, as his mother is in the UM Sports Hall of Fame for Basketball.

The more important question is who would coach him for basketball. I'd like to resolve that issue soon and then get our efforts back on track.

I want to be respectful with the info given to me but I don’t think it’s as important as you think it is.

I’ve seen this movie before.
We will get one or two of them.
Someone else will get the best one. We talk about recruiting rules that Mario needs to break. He hasn’t landed the all American first round possible future hall of famer that kills it and takes everyone’s job after the first practice, then stamps his name in the nfl.
Bain appears to be the exception. Hopefully he had a sophomore slump or was injured. But we better stop missing evaluations or stop “not wanting to overpay” for talents like Picket or JSmith.

It is important. But as with anything, it can be overcome with sub-par recruiting. I'm simply addressing your "holds very little water" comment, which isn't true.

And I've said it before, Smiff needs to be reassigned.

can anyone explain what's going on with the recruiting dept based on some of the things said on here. it seems insane to me (no inside knowledge of this) that we have issues with a Mario led recruiting dept.

Please stop putting a position less player in the same convo as J Smith. Pickett isn't Smith and he isn't from South Florida. I wanted Pickett but at the beginning of the cycle I was happy trading him for Antoine and it ended that way.

So now our "elite recruiter" is dropping the ball on a top 2 player in the state and top 15 player in the country in our own backyard?

If I know anything I know that whoever is the top target from Florida will sign elsewhere.

Dia Bell is technically currently the highest rated kid in the state and he's going to Texas so there's Mario's loss.

South Florida has a ton of the top talent in the state next year..Mario needs to do what he was brought in for. At least 6-8 of the top 20 kids in the state need to be in our class. All top 100 kids.
