Y'all are sad man. Smh this is big. I don't care if everyone already knew he was coming. News is news and him shutting down his recruitment is great news. **** I wouldn't mind if ALL our commits decide to do this. Shut that **** down baby! Post it! And let's keep the summer HOT!
 
Carlos Huerta was a helluva a K and was automatic Points matter and are the difference between Ws and Ls. Nowadays more than ever, you need to show out to get to playoffs. He matters! It’s crappy if he were really considering other programs after committing the first time but he is sticking with the good guys. I’ll celebrate...especially if more is on the way.

When we win a game on the road and he kicks the game winner we will all look back and touch ourselves. This isn’t a 5 star tug, but this is a smooth afternoon delight.

My god see what you all have done to me? lmao

Afraid to peek inside your mind, but what would even make you think Brooks was a potential flip candidate? Are there some insider rumors floating out there?

I have Brooks and Tate out there as mirages. If they materialize into reality of if there's even a fragment of hope for either, not sure how I'd react.

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?

Bump. @Liberty City El would be grateful for your thoughts on this crazy turnaround in our recruiting momentum.

I'm not on Twitter, but it doesn't seem like any other bat signals went out. We all assumed it was for Andres shutting it down. Since then Thad, Khalil, and someone else shut it down. If the staff didn't send out multiple bat signals, then I'm guessing the signal was for someone else, a new commit.

It's a multitude of things.

They recognized the mistakes they made in the past with certain recruits, Manny changed the recruiting policy in terms of holding kids accountable to their verbal & making the Miami offer/commitment actually mean something.

There's also been a concerted effort within the recruiting department from Andy Vaughn, to Pop Cooney & DVD on down, plus adding guys like Edwin Pata, Terry Jefferson, Telly Lockette, Benedict Hyppolite & of course Ed Reed has signaled the shift in the paradigm for how we're approaching local recruiting.

But the C19 shutdown inadvertently has had a very large impact. It prevented the usual movement you see going on throughout the year, usually kids take visits all through Spring & Summer to other campuses, they go on year round 7v7 trips as well to other states & get to visit with schools but without that heavy travel schedule kids are less familiar with those programs & don't have the built in relationships with the staffs at those schools like they do at Miami.

And because of Covid we're basically in a recession & due to the economic downturn going on in the country Big money boosters are not tossing around cash left & right like they used to because they're not going to get a return on their investment in this economy. Even if you're a rich guy with a sizable amout of disposable income you'd be stupid to spend that on recruiting in a year where there's no visits, a truncated season & no guarantees that that money is coming back.

So, once you take away a lot of teams element to cheat, what's left? Old fashioned recruiting. Basically, the coaching staff that can connect with the kid & his family the best are winning these battles they usually would lose because there's very little to any kind of under the table cash involved, now it's just all about your ability to be authentic & sell your program based on what makes the most logical sense to kids & their families. It's a harder sell to convince a mother/father to be on board with sending their kid thousands of miles away in the middle of a Global pandemic when there's no certainty that your son will be completely taken care of by a staff you don't know & don't trust.

That's where Miami has the advantage right now... Under these circumstances parents can trust their kids being safe going to school 15 minutes up the road with coaches they've met & talked to dozens of times.

Here's to hoping he's made similar dramatic changes to the on-field coaching too!

Is the limitation on accepting 2022 commits until last night tied into making a Miami offer more valuable?

Yes. They also don't really like averting too much attention to classes ahead before they have the current class settled.

For the most part with the exception of a few spots, the majority of the 21 class is finished so you'll start seeing more focus on the 22 class in the coming months.
