I'm not making excuses, you guys all know we're up against recruiting. It will take more than just one 8-4 season to fix the perception of Miami.

Mods delete please

Why delete. I think OP hit the nail on the head on most of this. I don't like the soccer mentality that i see anymore with youth sports. Back in the day, we dod not get participation awards. champs were the only 1 who got anything, which sometimes was just a nice pat on the back. We also never had a team mom who coordinated snacks.
 
I know a lot of fans want to run off most of our coaches because the U isn't landing the elite recruits they want the staff to, but I don't think it's all on the staff.

I think the days are gone of finding talented kids who want to work their asses off and not worry about all the cosmetic sh@t kids worry about these days. Most kids now are soft-shouldered and get trophies for everything. Being sheltered from failure has really affected the culture of our youth. Not to mention he U hasn't done sh@t worth talking about in over a decade doesn't help either.

I think the staff is doing the best they can, but until they put together a great season that says you can compete for titles here, most of these kids won't come. They only know the Miami who has lost too many games to FSU and melt down afterwards. Change that and kids' minds will too.
Slow playing Harley was all on the staff. I agree u cant get them all but one elite kid a class should happen. Donkey driving a donk failed. Now the real question did richt hinder Dugan by now allowing him to offfer earlier?

Bruh,

We just lost a kid to Wet ******. Let that sink in for a minute.

I swear some of you cats can't have a conversation without disrespecting someone. It is possible to disagree without calling for someone's post to be deleted. We lost a kid to WV, there's a lot of things we can't see behind closed doors.

We always use the bag man, and stuff going on behind closed doors when we don't get a recruit. . Face it, until we start winning, we are not going to get the recruits we used to. We are not a desired program to go to anymore. Not sure how and if this will ever change.

Does that excuse apply to the schools that land these kids?

Was wondering that.

UF is a dumpster fire and they took 3 of our top DB targets from our backyard: Henderson, Wilson, Davis. Sounds like they are trending with Herbert as well.

Large state funded public university with college town atmosphere, huge donor base, SEC money (and tactics), and a **** team with early PT.
 
Lock this **** up. This is getting out of hand. We got guys in here attacking kids' mothers and race-baiting. Lock this thing before the owners of the site get prosecuted.

When I say "behind closed doors", I'm not implying shady things, even though it happens, there's unseen things that go on that fans don't see that affects a kid's decision.

Are you this dumb, or is this just a character you're trying to work on?

You're in here yapping about us not winning. Harley just went to WVU. What have they won. Until a few months ago, Hologram was on a scorching hot seat. He's 46-30 at WVU, and your dopey *** is in here talking about us not winning.

Even if we do win, we'll still lose recruits. The days of hidden So Fla recruits is over with social media, the internet and ENDLESS camps. Kids want different things.....money, facilities, PT, college town atmosphere, big class, small classes, easy classes, certain majors, location, sun, beaches, girls, get out of jail free cards, certain brand uniforms, scholies/jobs for family members or friends......the list goes on and on. You can't get them all in the day of the "business" mindset and money grab, especially as a small private university who's been popped multiple times for violations.

I would never disagree with the bolded part, but that's not really the problem here. The problem is not having other appropriate recruits in place to fill in. We can't keep being the bridesmaid, and left with a roster that is shorthanded talent at several positions. We are trying to recover from playing well under our scholarship limits. Losing out again and again on these types of recruits is going to cost us wins, which will only make recruiting even harder.
 
Please stop the race-baiting and attacks on recruits' mothers. TIA

This place is becoming a cesspool with that kind of stuff. It's tough to read when guys go in hard on recruits' moms and immediately start hurling racial epithets when things go wrong.
 
Relax.... Even when Miami was the cream of the crop, I'm sure there were plenty of local sfl players that chose to go to other schools. It doesn't matter. For every Mike Harley there is a Trajan Bandy. A player can only fill one role not eleven. Its never a big deal.
