I'm confused on this. Miami has sucked for years now and hasn't shown signs of progress. If you guys take off the orange and green glasses, you'll realize that elite, program elevating kids are not going to be picking Miami. On top of the losing, kids see highly sought after kids like Howard, Coley and C. Thomas go there and become average to a little above average players. Miami is getting the players, with exceptions here and there (Shaq, Richards), that the type of program they've become gets. Miami caliber has a different meaning than you guys would like to think.

Dude, every kid you named came here under the previous regime. Recruited for a different scheme. Can you let CMR put a **** recruiting class together before you jump off of a bridge? Yes losing sux, and we're not "back" yet, but the one thing that present day recruits see here, is IMMEDIATE playing time. Look at all of the Freshmen that are playing now. This rebuilding job is gonna take longer than we had hoped it would. OL, WR and DB issues, are all problems right now. The evidence is painfully clear. The kids will STILL wanna come here. We will get better, and if we don't in a few years, the buzzards will be picking CMR's bones as we welcome the next guy to Coral Gables. And just like before.... (EVEN when we were winning) we're not gonna get all of the so. fla "studs". We will get our share.

"We will get our share" is a losers way of bargaining for not getting top shelf talent. We can't have em all, but it makes no sense to lose the ones that are already comitted

Skill and db recruiting aren't the problem....Miami needs to get top notch linemen... period! This current unit would prolly be undefeated right now.....option 2 go after elite mobile QBs ...

this will be the key to Miami landing elite players in skill positions later . We need to keep what we got add AH kids , Chandler and Telford than cut dead weight off the team. Don't matter how good your rb if he doesn't have good blockers. Mobile Smart qb doesn't have to be elite

Are you about to blame Howard on the current staff? Same with Coley and Thomas? Had Richt had those guys for four years it would be a different story. Why don't you come off suicide watch and relax. It's year 1 and Richt only has 5 players that are here because of him. Let him get at least 1/4 of the team his guys then we can talk

No not blaming the current staff. I didn't even mention the current staff. My point was clear. Can't dumb it down any further for you

Miami still has access and is able to sign players that can get us to top 25 consistency.
Something we haven't been for a long time.
Who in their right mind is talking elite at this point.
Let's get to good....then we can build to elite.

If the top flight players don't want to come to Miami, the only way to make the school enticing again is to win 10-11 games per year with coached up best-of-the-rest-talent.

Seems like sort of a chicken-and-egg situation. You need talent to win. And plenty of coaches out there have brought in great classes after mediocre seasons.

You either need a coach capable of overachieving with given talent or a coach that's a great salesman.

Start playing people like Homer and possible others in the O-line and almost guarantee top OL-men if they comwe they will start....this season is over so start seeing who off the bench as underclassmen can contribute for the future.
 
They need to bring in 10 offensive linemen gotta get a few that will block worth a crap.
 
-Over sign
-Start recruiting more players outside of SFL...
-Work with the administration on giving a couple JUCOs a year a pass on admission
-Seek out transfers from other power 5 teams
-Lie (kids want be be a receiver? Ok, sure...don't cut out switch him to the position you recruited him for. He leaves open scholly, simple
