There's still hope in my eyes. Our name may not hold weight with kids anymore but it still does with the older crowd and media. May not sound like much, but when we start winning, Miami is always the media focus. A couple big wins in 09 and 17 and Miami was mentioned in every other sports segment, commercial or article. The hype builds fast. If we can get one coaching staff that can actually string together wins and end this run of fools gold apparitions and put something solid together... the feeling around South Florida and in the media all of a sudden makes schools out in the country seem less appealing.
Look I get it, if a kids wants bags above all he's not coming here... but i'm sure a good portion of kids that went elsewhere to bag would have stayed home if they were truly torn with a solid program here. Like someone mentioned earlier, no ones going to stay home to play for a ****** program for free. Only shot at free, is a hype and energy too powerful to pass up for 300k. Start putting kids into the league and we'll be able to pitch that 300k is nothing in the grand scheme of things once Miami gets you into the league, while having a college experience like no other in football.
