Highest recruiting moments we’ve ever had?

We just signed the #1 class in the ACC and a the #7 class nationally. I would put this class as the best in recent memory at least a decade. Had Cormani stuck it out we’d have a Top5 class.

What’s the best recruiting moments of all-time you guys can remember? It can be a class as a whole or individual signings/commitments.

Cormani? ****, if Reid Mikeska had stuck it probably would have been a top 5 class. Connor Lew 100%. That's how close it is between #'s 4 to 7.

Or if the services hadn't deliberately sandbagged our rating by downgrading our kids wherever they could we'd probably still be as high as #4 with who we have.

The tiers this year, IMO:

Atmospheric: Alabama
Elite+: UGA
Elite: Texas
Excellent: OK, OSU, LSU, Miami
Very, very good: Oregon, TENN, ND, Clemson
Good: USC, PSU, UF, TAMU
Ok: USCe, AUB, MICH, TCU, FSU, UT, ARK, Mich St, NEB, Miss St.

If Cormani had signed we'd be in the Texas category IMO.

The teams in each tier are pretty interchangeable. And of course the 10th best class can end up better than the 3rd best class in the end. D$ said the staff feels like they don't have a single regret with this class so far, so that's encouraging.

This is for just HS recruiting, of course. And it doesn't take into consideration how a smaller, and lower rated class can be of higher quality than a bigger class, etc. or what a program's ceiling or floor should be.

Arthur Brown was a big one

The 2008 class definitely didn’t live up to the hype in the end but man people were drinking the Kool aid

Kyle Wright Gatorade National POY. There was an article stating that the city of Miami hasn’t seen a arm this great since Marino… Several different OCs was the death of this young man. He did however have a rocket arm just never put it all together.

DJ Williams and WW both were great. LaVar Arrington would’ve been on this same level as he was leaning towards coming to Miami until Bowden and Chuck Amato lied to his family and told them Miami was dangerous and would be a horrible place for him to attend. Imagine a LB corps of Arrington, Nate Webster and Dan Morgan…

Covington had just as good of an arm as Wright....
 
Highsmith/Bratton, DJ Williams, KW2, and I believe it was Lou Saban's second class were he loaded up on high level Dade talent that got us rolling in the right direction.

I remember going to a spring practice and while Clement was throwing semi-wobblers, you could hear the zip on Covingtons.

I'm curious. How was he the highest recruiting moment we've had?

Is it because he/we trolled the turds?

It was one of the biggest ones that was in the last 5-10 years, even if he didn’t pan out.

At the time, He was the highest rated defensive recruit miami
Had signed in years. Plus always great trolling the Gaytors.
 
KW2M is the biggest recruiting moment for Miami. You can argue whatever recruit you want but for those that were around, nothing has matched that since.
