Class Impact: Michael Tarquin exits

[Damiencane86]

Embarrassed to be a Cane fan right now. Coaching is the only profession where you can be total trash and make 6 or 7 figures while maintaining job security. Insanity.

Some of our fans say Mullen can’t recruit but he’s really going to town on Richt’s buttcheeks right now and I’m pretty sure he’s loving it.

Hes definately a better coach and i wanted him OVER Richt.

 

[GladeCane]

Evan Neal probably doesn't want to go to Bama and wants to stay home, but playing for Searls is holding him back.

So fire Searls.

Question what’s the real problem with Miami recruiting.

Here we go
1. We have a head coach that thought he could call the same plays that he called 30 years ago and be successful and his experiment is failing miserable
2. He hired his son with no experience and is showing because our Qb have not develop On top of that his son cant recruit because which QB would want to be coached by an inexperience QB coach. He is so inept that even his cousins is signing with LSU instead of playing for his uncle and cousin
3. Our coach hired a washed out OL line coach that cant recruit and cant develop his players either.
4. Our head coach should be concentrating on being a head coach and maybe coaching special teams like other coaches instead he is trying to be a head coach Offensive coordinator and part time Qb coach. He should listen to Jimmy Johnson but he is too stubborn and stupid
5. All of the above have resulted in the lowest point production per game against power 5 schools in a very long time, therefore we go into this 4 game losing streak on a yearly basis and commits have started to realize it. On top of that other coaches are having a ball pointing this to our commits and therefore the 13 decommotments this year
I could go on but I’m so royally ****ed now that what I really want to do is personally call Mark Rich and tell him to shoved my season tickets where the sun dont shine but I dont have his number and that is a good thing

Or the loss and lack of recruits could indicate that searles is gone and they are waiting until after the bowl game to announce

 

[Canesfan1899]

So we lost two offensive lineman to UF in two straight days

Yup, and we’ve been making fun of them for 2 years. All the while we should’ve been laughing at ourselves because the canes are the real **** show at the moment.

Do it now. No need to wait.

Line sucks now, will suck during the game and will suck right after the game

Maybe now we can dispense with the Gator tears crap. They are a top ten football program and they are having their way with Florida kids.

 

[MiamiChris]

Wouldn’t doubt if Searals is gone soon, like leaving for new gig

Wouldn’t doubt if Searals is gone soon, like leaving for new gig

if he does we should call Memphis' oline coach

 

[Dude]

if he does we should call Memphis' oline coach

And their OC.

 

[Torocane]

It’s like we hit the ice berg but just for good measure we made a U and hit again then went in reserve and hit it one more time.

 

[Dawgcane]

Wouldn’t doubt if Searals is gone soon, like leaving for new gig

It is just a matter of how soon.

The curse of Jeff Thomas....

 

[RHCanes]

It’s clear that a lot of football fans doesn’t know nor understands development of players from age 18-23! We will be fine and will have a dominant OL next year. The two OL recruits would have been redshirted! Coaches can seek their replacements by going Juco route in 2020-2021! We will look totally different because of development! Perry Williams and Weldon are going to be outstanding leaders...just watch

2019 North Marion offensive lineman Michael Tarquin flipped his commitment from Miami to the Florida Gators today coming off an official visit to UF.



The 6-5, 290-pounder is currently a 4-star in the national rankings. According to the 247Sports Composite, Tarquin is the #284 player nationally, #23 OT in the country, and the #41 player in the Sunshine State. His decommitment moves Miami’s 2019 class ranking down to #29 on 247Sports and #37 on Rivals.


The Background

Tarquin had been committed to Miami since April and was adamant he had found the perfect school for him; Tarquin shut down his recruitment and said he didn’t need to take any more visits. Tarquin expected to enroll into classes at Miami early and get a head start on the tackle competition during spring ball. Fast-forward a few months, and Miami’s losing streak and subpar offensive performance seemed to really shake things up for Tarquin, as he visited the Gators for gameday visits three times in the midst of Miami’s four game losing streak. There was some confidence that Miami would be able to keep him on board after his UM official two weekends ago, but an official visit to Gainesville this past weekend sealed him up for the Gators.


Future of the Class

Tarquin's decommitment brings the total class numbers down to 14, and leaves Miami with zero commitments at the weakest spot on the team. Yes, zero. If the red flags aren’t blaring in your face right now, you’re just simply not paying attention.

Not only is Miami in a terrible spot on the offensive line with 2 weeks to the early signing period and 2 months to the close of the cycle, but the loss of Tarquin cannot be understated in terms of him playing tackle. UM simply does not have many tackles on the roster that can really play the position and have way too many tweener types. UM curiously had not made tackle much of a priority this cycle, as they were expecting Tarquin to enroll early and at least be a factor in the two deep by fall of 2019, as well as 5-star Evan Neal to sign with Miami. Now, there is much more question marks than answers.

I touched on tackle recruiting last week and not much has changed since then. Neal made his official visit to Miami this weekend and seems down to a final four of Miami, Oklahoma, FSU, and of course Bama. Each has already received officials, with UM getting his final official visit, and that’s not a bad spot to be in, but the Canes still seem to be running a distant second behind the Crimson Tide for now. Miami is trying to see if bringing in his brother as a PWO will help sway Neal, but I was told not to expect that to have any real impact on Neal’s decision. Neal will sign early in December.

Next up, the Canes have been pushing for a flip from Mississippi State commit Darius Washington for a few months now and Washington made an OV to Miami back in October for the FSU game. Washington is a quiet kid that doesn't do many interviews and is hard to get a read on. While some believe the Canes have a better shot than is being reported, Miami will certainly have to get Washington back on campus to feel confident in making the flip.

Wake Forest commit CJ Elmonus was recently offered by the staff, but it doesn’t seem like he has any real interest in taking a visit or seriously considering Miami. That is the extent of tackle recruiting for Miami right now, and as you can see, saying it doesn’t look good is putting it nicely.

We seem to be the greatest recruiting source the Turds have.
