Over the years, we have a number of fundamental assumptions when it comes to recruiting. How many of these will Mario eradicate with his relentless recruiting and which one(s) do you think are the hardest?
You can't pull a 4*/5* RB from LA that L$U wants. (Citizen)
- You can't pull a 4*/5* DT from LA that L$U wants.
- You can't pull a 4*/5* DT from Alabama that the Tide wants.
- You can't pull a 4*/5* CB from Alabama that the Tide wants.
- You can't pull an elite kid from Lakeland.
Elite CB's from Heritage will always make a business decision
Elite CBs from Broward will always make a business decision (Antione Jackson)
Can't pull an elite recruit from Dwyer. (this solved itself with Jack Daniels leaving and Al Shipman replacing him).
We only get scraps from IMG. Elite IMG recruits only sign with $EC teams (Skinner, Mauigoa, Riley and hopefully more)
Kids don't decommit from Clemson/Dabo and the definitely don't flip to UM if they decommit (Ray Ray)
Elite OTs don't consider Miami (Mauigoa)
Multiple Elite OTs definitely won't commit in the same recruiting class.
Canes can no longer recruit nationally for multiple elite recruits in the same class
Canes can only have highly rated classes if the vast majority of the commits are from SFL.
- Once a recruit's page his 250+ pages, they're not coming.
5* SFL Receivers are mercenaries and will never commit/play for UM.
Follow the visits. No official visit, no commit. (Popo says hello)
Multiple (3x) elite DE/Edges will not commit in the same recruiting cycle.
- Multiple elite Lakeland kids can't be pulled in the same cycle
Can't pull a legit 5* recruit from SFL.
- Elite DEs from Heritage will always make a business decision
- You can't win multiple head to head battles w/Bama and Saban for 4*/5* CBs in the same cycle
- You can't win multiple head to head battles w/Bama and Saban for CBs playing in Heritage and Lakeland in the same cycle
- You can't win a head to head battle with OSU/Hartline for a 5* WR
- You can't win a head to head battle with OSU/Hartline for a SFL 5* WR
- You can't pull two 5* WR in the same recruiting cycle
You can't pull two or more 5* DTs in the same cycle
- You can't pull two or more 5* DEs in the same cycle
- You can't pull three or more 5* DLs in the same cycle
You can't pull a 4*/5* RB from Tuscaloosa that Saban wants

Also, if you can think of other recruiting taboos, let me know.
