I say that we completely shut this kid off. Totally shun him. Terminate his recruitment and never call him, text him or take his calls or return his texts. If he comes by campus to hang with someone he knows then he gets the silent treatment from everybody. Treat him like the traitor he is. Don't even speak his name.

Ok yeah sure he can play DE but that isn't what is going to butter his bread going forward. Playing 3 tech is what will get Roberts paid at the next level.

I think he is a de. Just cause he has size doesn't mean he is a DT. He can kick inside on passing downs.

You think Clemson paying? Or is it that these kids want to play for a Championship team get drafted and care for their future?? Clemson is getting more 5 star recruits than any team in history this year. I don't think it has anything to do with the bag!! Just to remind you they just won the NCG and been in the talks just about every year in the past 10 yrs! The bag is out there for teams that need to cheat! But Clemson is turning down 4 and 5 star kids! Like I said, we need to stop being surprised that we are losing out on these kids when our recent history to most of them are getting our *** kicked by Pitt, Virginia, having an OF that can't get out of it's own way, kicking game that can't average 10 yards and etc........

We are living in the past if we think these recruits should just take our scharliships when these kids today can't remember when we even won a bowl game!! I know some of you don't want to hear this, but we are no where on the radar (we are crap! just to put it nicely)) in comparison to Bama, Clemson, LSU etc....and don't stand a chance with the cheaters when they brake out the bag!

Manny is smart enough to know that this year will be the greatest challenge of his life is to win at all cost! He knows these kids deep down in their heart don't want to leave SFL! He know's that he need to show these kids that he can get them to the next level, and that's being drafted in the NFL! Until all of this happen we better get use to losing out on kids that don't care about how a bunch of heart broken fans feel!!

Why is it an either or? When you win, you have a great culture where players look like they are having fun, and you pay, you can be picky. Bama wins titles and pays. Georgia pays and maybe wins a title in the future. But neither have a loose culture to go along with it. Clemson is the only school that has all of those factors in place, and that is why they are turning away 5 star players.

Bruh, @DMoney contradicted himself big time. First he made the argument that we've only had 1 10-win season in the last 15 years (factual argument). And that recruits at Harris' level want to see more production and winning from us. Then proceeds to tell us that we'll get Harris if we have another 10-win season (contradiction). I've been around the recruiting game for a minute - when a 5-star recruit decommits after going on the touring circuit in the middle of June, it's bags. And it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

Dmoney admits he knows its bags, his whole point was that even if it is, us winning consistently and having sustained success could curb the influence of bags some.

Some. A very, very small "some". Cash is king, bro. Especially when it's the adults who want it. Tough to tell mom no, you can't have that house and that car cause I wanna go to The U.

The biggest recruits ever landed at a Miami were out of state (Texas and California which is insane)... Back in the day a kid from southridge who was the King Kong Bundy of high school went to FSU. Makes no sense but it makes sense. Recruiting is a thing of beauty. I wish I was a mathematician and could come up with an Algo to predict this stuff.

Its bags.
Its also that we suck.

I agree with D$. Miami does not give any of these kids an alternative or a choice to make. Take a bag and an offer from a winning program that produces players for the NFL. Miami legitimately does none of the above. Bags aren't heavy enough, we don't win enough, and while our players are good on that second contract, that first contract is LIGHT in comparison.

You all would make the same decision.
 
guess its too much for us to hope these kids realize if they stuck with miami, and we were finishing out with top5 classes every year, we'd be on the big stage too... we'd be in the playoffs, we'd have the higher draft picks.. just takes local pride and leadership... something these kids claim but dont back up...

Donell could of been a leader, helped finish '20 class in top5, and continue to push local kids and help us to get the top3 class '21. Instead jumps on the easy train, repping and benefiting cities that could care less about them and that they'll never visit ever again once their out of college..
 
Will the bag game infiltrate the portal ? Should Oregon assume Steele was $tolen from them ?

Start recruiting in Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia. These teams are coming here and taking our players, we need to do the same thing. Miami can not compete with the bag game in south Florida, this is a never ending cycle. Get players that are going to be best for Miami. This mindset of locking down South Florida has hurt the program. A bunch of kids in Texas, Cali, Jersey, New York, etc want to come here.

That's not going to happen. Kids in Alabama want to go to Alabama. Kids in Georgia want to go to Georgia and Clemson. The kids not going there are the kids they're not recruiting.

We have to rethink things. We need to recruit more out of state kids along with the SF kids. Winning will change this bad cultural phenomena. We have to dominate our division, close the gap on Clemson, and win a New Year's Six Bowl if not making the CFP. When we can really compete with Clemson on the field, we'll start locking down SF.

It would really help get things started with a win of UF.
