I know this has been said before and is completely subjective, but it feels like this is a case where a few good commits are wanting to be at a program where they can contribute and be part of the ascension rather than step in a ready made program. It feels different, almost like a self fulfilling prophecy based in optimism.

I think the point is that Miami is hyping up a guy shutting it down that was already committed to us. Not simply that it’s a kicker, I was thrilled when he committed, we needed a reliable kicker BAD last year. But ****, why do we have to celebrate it twice? Kid seemed solid when he was posting on here, now we have to jump for joy because he essentially announced “I’m staying committed to the school I committed too”?

It's possible Patke's was about the kicker and DVD's was about someone else... possible

Do not understand that, at all.

First, I thought this staff was all about a commitment meaning something. Second, IF you wanna let a committed dude look around, maybe it's totally OK if he doesn't shut it down and lets another team think they have a chance up until the last minute. Finally, you don't celebrate a kid sticking to a decision he made like that.

Just.... weird across the board.

Borregales was trying to get that fifth star.

There's more to come.

LCE, besides the impacts the virus has had on recruiting, is there something that Manny and crew have done to generate this positive momentum? Or were we just in the right place at the right time and maximized our window of opportunity?

Just seems like not all that recently (pre-Lashlee) we were wandering around aimlessly searching for direction in recruiting and now all of a sudden, mo is our friend and kids that wouldn't even consider us are wanting in.

I'm a poor substitute for LCE but I'll give my reasons I think its happening. In no particular order

1. Travel Restrictions. Yes, it is helping big time. But use whatever means necessary

2. Momentum. Recruiting is all about the big Mo. Miami has it.

3. NIL opportunities. I said this before and people disagreed but I think time has proven me right. Prior to NIL, a 5 star recruit from S Fl had 2 choices.
a. Take dirty money from SEC schools and live in hicksville. Or
b. go to Miami, no bags, and rep the hometown for a team that hasn't given people much to cheer for.

Now the choice is take dirty money or take clean NIL money in a huge market. Lashlee offense is legit so kids know Miami is going to blow up again on the national scene.

4. Social justice issues. A few years ago, a school's racist history or racist coach had little bearing on recruiting. Now it's a huge issue. Why play in KKK country when the hometown school is located in a progressive multiracial city? Diaz and crew have been masterful at playing this angle.

5. Recruiting integrity. I think you are seeing what happens when recruits get lied to as evidenced by decommits/transfers from UGA and UF. I think this staff is being honest with recruits and that is paying dividends

6. Baba Yaga. Let's say a 5 star safety thinks UGA or some sec school is going to make him a household name. Ed Reed can get on the phone and ask the recruit about the HOF credentials and number of championships of other safeties from that sec program. Game over.
