Did Darren Branch just flip

[Hurracanes]

We do have some flaws in recruiting

You must have graduated at the top of your class.

Actually no, never pushed myself in school but I do have street smarts

 

[simplycanes]

I get it, I'm just not interested in all the hand wringing until after the LOIs have been signed - then feel free to criticise the class based on who we signed. At the moment 'recruiting is flexible'.

The trouble is we've heard the similar 'be patient", "let it play out" strategy for several years and our recruiting has remained subpar-- both in terms of overall talent level as well as addressing positions of need. Unfortunately, UM recruiting classes finish pretty much on whatever trajectory they're on, they don't really rally into signing day.

Would you bet your account there won’t be anymore decommits?

No. But I will bet that you have no better idea than half this board regarding what most of the 17-18 year olds currently committed will ultimately do.

 

[Jassid82]

All valid points. And even with Harrell and Francois, we need another pure CB in this class. This kid was the closest to that. I’m with you though, #clusterfvck

Let’s hope the JUCO kid wants in. (Bennett). He has raw talent that Rumph can work with. I don’t want DBrown. I think he will be an attrition candidate after a few years of realizing he can’t play here.

This has been done for awhile , kids parents have been after him to stay closer to home . So Mel ***stein this has nothing to do with your theories ,hate to ruin your troll attempt

That’s what I thought. Call me a troll, then back down when I call you out.

If history is any indication of the future results, then I have a pretty good idea.

We lead America over the last 10 years of kids with sick family members.

Yeah , I’m sure you do lol. You have insider info that we could have a decommit? Wow, that’s pretty deep info.

Troll on

Backing down from what? You posted something with no factual basis other than post traumatic stress and negativity resulting from our prior recruiting years, which I understand.

Subpar, but also apparently good enough to walk the ACC Coastal? Which is it?

 

[orange&green84]

Oh no not Branch leaving shut the program down.

I understand getting worked up over certain kids but this kid is a dime a dozen.

Elite this class
Van Dyke
Chaney
Fleming
Redding
Rivers
Chantz
Robeets
Austin Cave

Of the guys you've listed, how many are in the secondary?

Miami loses commitment as Darran Branch flips to Ole Miss

The Hurricanes got some bad news on Sunday.

[orange&green84]

How much confidence do you have in this staff to replace him though?

He was our highest rated DB in this class & he's gone just like the rest, now we're down to Clarke who's 2 years away from being ready & Washington who's a FIU level player & shouldn't even be in this class.

Everybody keeps saying just land Harrell & Francois as if this staff has shown they have the capability to do that lol. While one of those kids has already decommitted from this staff twice lol.

The funny part is people will just continue to move the goalposts & justify every failure from them & hit us with the ole "next year's class is loaded!" Like these coaches are going to land a bunch of elite DB's next year lol.

And these same dopes keep forgetting that Bama, Clemson and UGA all camp out in South Florida when there's elite recruits in a cycle.

 

[Koke]

When is Manny gonna realize something needs to be done about DB recruiting?

 

[mossmadness]

When is Manny gonna realize something needs to be done about DB recruiting?

Never. This is now his 4th year with these guys. If he hasn't seen the problem in 4 years, he's never going to see the problem.

 

[orange&green84]

When is Manny gonna realize something needs to be done about DB recruiting?

We have two guys doing the job that one person can do, and half the job is recruiting which they collective blow *** at.

 

[Mel Bernstein]

Yeah , I’m sure you do lol. You have insider info that we could have a decommit? Wow, that’s pretty deep info.

Troll on

I’m surprised you don’t have more info on the pending decommits than I do, you’re the biggest fake insider on this site.

Or the old..Rumph/Banda gonna coach em up. lol

These dudes are the worst in the recruiting game.1 is like watching paint dry and the other makes a mean long island but is the bartender taking shots all night while making yours and by November is punch drunk wandering the back alley's and hitting on all the bottom list bottle girls.
