Does Culture Flowe from Geography?

[RaisingCane26]

Okeechobee and north is the South. South of Port St. Lucie ain’t the south. As someone else said the tri county area especially 954 and 305 is a whole different animal.

So lemme get this straight, Miami(and the rest of SFL), with enough ex-New Yorkers to make a 6th borough called Manhattaqueebrooklonx Island, is considered more to be the South than Clemson?!?! South Carolina?!?! Ok bruh. Take it from a native Miamian with Southern roots, Clemson will NEVER be considered as "East Coast" before Miami. Geographically, Miami is the South but culturally we're our own unique beast. It's an amalgamation of the South, Caribbean and Latin America, and the real East Coast. Personally, I call South Florida America's Caribbean. ****, Nassau and Havana are a lot closer in distance to us than Atlanta or Charlotte. Just gotta go over a lil water is all...

Man these guys. The only thing South about Miami is it's geography. I still struggle to find a decent Soul Food restaurant down here. Miami is absolutely more East Coast than Southern. The only time Miami is the South is in rap records.

If we get 10 wins I think we can get him. He's almost guaranteed to slide in here as a starter.

I am sure Clemson is telling him he will be an automatic starter there too.

People have to get off this “10 wins…” thing. It’s not true. 10 wins will not get it done.

- 10 wins gets you noticed but OOS 5*’s have options and 10 wins … just the minimum allowable unless you have a staff with Championship rings (conference at least).
- Beating good teams actually puts you at the table
- CFP puts you in the final decision

1. Miami can’t lose a regular season game. Just can’t.
2. Miami has to beat Clemson (at least once) for this kid to seriously, SERIOUSLY consider Miami.
3. Some of y’all don’t want to hear this … but UGA needs to not win in JAX and not win the SEC east.

Don’t agree with #3. But the other 2 yes I completely agree

Having hung out a lot on the Carolina Panthers and Miami Hurricanes boards (as a foreigner) you're definitely different beasts.

 

[chilltill]

Yeah... sounds like he's just catering to the fan bases of who ever is interviewing him. He only talks about Miami when asked by Miami sites.

see kid like him plays the crooting game the right way.... he needs to ov on a good weekend... what game you guys think would be good for our best recruits to come too?(sorry if I missed another thread on this topic)

This Defensive staff always feels they are in a good spot. Don’t be a sucker like them.

I wasn't seriously asking

10 wins means **** if you don’t beat anyone with a pulse. Lose to Florida and FSU and its irrelevant.

It’s more east coast than Miami. If you were being honest with yourself, who do you really think Mike was talking about? I don’t know if any powerhouse schools on the east coast? Unless Mike is a moron and considers Clemson, Georgia, Miami east coast. Maybe Penn St?

Florida is the east coast.... and Uga/Clemson wouldn’t be much of a surprise, so that means Miami...

 

[BeastMode]

He said an East coast team that you "probably wouldn't expect", Clemson and UGA would not be a surprise.

Mike is a troll of all trolls. The other guy said Georgia or Clemson and mike laughed. It isn’t Miami

 

[Tee3000]

You'll believe what when you see it? That he'll OV here? He will 100000% OV here. Whether he signs or not is a totally different story. But Miami is unquestionably in his top 5. However, it's all about who is in his top 1 on NSD that matters.

Fam it’s June. Calm down

Maybe someone should ask Mike what he considered east coast.

 

[raincane]

Yeah Miami isn’t considered “east coast” it is the south. Y’all hyping yourselves up again just to be let down. East coast would be Clemson

I get that we have no chance at this kid. But WTF, Miami is literally on the east coast. If anything people would probably more refer to Miami as east coast than they would as southern. Even though those terms are not at all mutually exclusive, as you seem to think lol.

You contradicted yourself

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Who's worked up? I'm trying to tell these dudes he's gonna OV, that's all.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Nobody from from Georgia up through NC even considers Florida as part of the south. It’s just Florida.

Nothing “southern” about Miami outside of certain spots in Homestead and Cutler Bay.

You contradicted yourself

Touché.

All jokes aside, FSU is and will never be a easy win unless our QB play improves dramatically.

 

[tyrn]

We are in this more than people realize.

Until the bag$ come out...

No way in **** we are landing Flowe.

I would love to be wrong as he may be my favorite recruit in the last decade.

But I’m not ever getting my hopes up for this guy.

 

[M3N]

Funny but people been talking about this kid for a minute. We are not landing this kid. He’s Bama or Clemson bound
