Second thread tracking our success recruiting against the big boys for key recruits. For years, Hartline has used SFE as a farm team and implemented reign of terror, taking whichever elite WR he wants from South Florida. Flo says the guard starts to change beginning with this cycle and the reign of terror ends after this cycle.

Prentiss "Air" NolandO$UWas our #1 QB target
Jeremiah SmithO$UMost people's #1 WR target
Joshisa "JoJo" TraderMiamiUnclear how much Hartline wanted him. Sign of the guard changing?
Justin ScottMiami O$UFlipped to the Canes @Lance Roffers said he'd would be a Cane but momma vetoed that option
Marquise LightfootMiamiInsiders thought he was an O$U lock
Dylan StewartUSCeMaybe the most important battle this cycle
Elias RudolphMiami MichiganFlipped to the Canes. Unsure how aggresively O$U recruited him, @DMoney says we're still working on flipping him
Jordan LyleMiami O$UBeen on flip watch for a minute and flipped on December 18, 2023
Chance RobinsonMiamiO$U and Hartline desperately wanted to flip him.
Cam WardMiamiApparently the top Portal QB for both schools. Ward never considered O$U seriously
Will HowardO$UWas option 1B for Miami, refused to commit. Likely cause he was a silent to O$U who threw their existing QBs under the bus by hiding the news until the portal closed.
Marley CookMiamiBoth schools wanted him at DT, he cancelled his O$U visit and picked the Canes

Brandon InnisO$UOur top WR target, season torpedoed any chance here
Mark FletcherMiamiLate flip to Miami after decommitting from O$U
Jayden BonsuO$UMiami lean forever, O$U flipped late after whiffing on higher priority targets
Raul "Popo" AguirreMiamiVisited O$U, unclear how aggressively they recruited or if they thought it was a lost cause.
Riley WilliamsMiamiEveryone's #1 TE target
Tywone MaloneO$UWas our top DT target in the second portal phase. Turns out this whiff may have been a blessing in disguise as JHH got more playing time.

Popo officially visited Ohio St June 24. Didn’t take an OV after, Committed to Miami July 12. W in my book.

NIL Team really should have opened up the vault for Air Norland as it would have represented an elite heir to the throne that would have attracted more elite WRs

Looks like we are doing ok on the WR front. Two of the top two in Broward. Doesn’t really get much better.
 
If we can beat Bama UGA and OSU more often for high rated guys this will get turned around fast. Cant be losing anybody to those dudes in Columbus period. Feels like they been destroying us on the trail.

Sorry fellas, it until we figure out how to win at a decently high level again (contend for ACC championships, NY6 bowls and playoffs) we’ll always lose the majority of these battles.

Matter of fact, what Mario is doing in recruiting right now is amazing considering the hand he’s been dealt. Many of you just have unrealistic expectations, like this **** is a video game and you just make it happen because you choose to 😂

So what happens if Jeremiah flips and tells Air “you can walk into a starting gig here and play with Josiah and I….”

Just some food for thought. First things first, have to win and look good on offense doing so. if you know Mario, we’ve never stopped recruiting him.

We're holding our own against UGA, Bama and O$U. Its Oklahoma that has our Kryptonite right now.

Luckily, I think that sorts itself out. They’re going to become mid in the SEC, so long that Vaginles is head coach. A middling, routine 4-4 type of team in conference.

For example, they have to go @LSU, @Ole Miss, @Auburn and @Missouri in 2024, hosting Bama, Tennessee, SCar and a neutral site game against Texas. I see four losses pretty easily.
