I know it's hard to be patient with recruiting, but...

[TheMatador]

Im convinced our fanbase is retarded.

Or senile. Don’t discriminate on age.

 

[TheMatador]

Right. Hold the staff accountable. He should fire his entire staff 8 weeks before game 1 because CIS chicken littles are all upset we have 3 commits on July 4. Makes sense.

He will be accountable….several posters have already set deadlines. I’m sure Blake and Julio Frenk are watching this board and are taking ultimatums very very seriously.

 

[Bender]

Best way to not get upset/overly hyped about recruiting is to stop caring about it.

All I do is watch tapes at this point, if it happens, cool, if it doesnt, cool. I am not a booster, I dont donate to the program, im not a coach, assistant, etc. working for the football program of the University. No one in the program gives a flying **** about how I feel about recruiting.

 

[SayWhat]

Not a mope but I laughed out loud at Iowa, ole Miss and unc being “big name teams”

Iowa and UNC over the last 15 or so years, we're in that company and they have more hardware. Just saying. We're not above them until we prove otherwise and last we saw UNC, ****.

As for recruiting, it's a different year during these times. The block certainly isn't hot, but there's plenty of time left before the final bell.

Nah, it’s seagull porsting, just swoops in and shlts, then leaves to admire his ”handiwork”.

The key is understanding the immature mentality you’re dealing with, which I think you do.

Seagull porstimg. That’s a classic! I would say a bigger bird might be appropriate. Like a buzzard. Bigger the bird, bigger the dump.

Swoop -n- ****

is that you kanye?

 

[canes732]

Rather be where we are currently than in years past with 20 kids #1 in class rankings just for them all to decommit

Most of them decommitted because we started to lose games.Win and most stick.

 

[Go Canes!!]

If I told a poster that had never been here before to read a thread to separate the Manny pole climbers from the Manny haters this thread would be where I would send them. Truer colors can not be shown here in this powder keg type thread where the actual thread premise is basically ignored over agendas.

Classic CiS.

/watch them come run in here and try to get me BAND for speaking the truth. Watch.

Nobody cares enough about what you think to want you banned.

 

[KrazyCane]

Well we already know lber recruiting is going to be another fail.

 

[L A M P]

I've actually enjoyed watching them be patient & not play games. To each his own I guess. Not sure this is class was setup for us to really kill it but we should be able to continue stacking chips. We need to lock up LB with all the talent available.

 

[TruCane81]

6 more than us… their taking what 24 this class with the transfer Tenn LB… so their at 40% of their classes capacity already.

We are at 3 of 18 which is what 16%? Lol

Diaz better stop pretending he’s Alabama and get some kids locked in while chasing other kids.. because if their looking we’re looking but don’t get caught chasing a dime and miss on two 8s because your standards are too high and leave the bar with a 6.

THIS!

Take the takes. If we get the bigger recruits and have to process guys out, so what? Teams will be trying to flip them anyway because they have our offer. If we drop them, they can always flip. Win-win.

I always figured you go hard at plan A and B guys hard from the jump and have C guys that you communicate with. If B guys want in first, take them. The B guys make strong teams if you evaluate them properly for system fits.

I read so many stories of us slow playing and ignoring quality guys chasing blue chip players then circling back late and getting told to f*ck off. Why not treat those guys like priorities out the gate?

Am I wrong thinking that dropping guys when we actually do get a big commit is less destructive than being late to the party and making guys feel unwanted? Are we already using this strategy but not closing?

 

[TruCane81]

You know I don't usually feed the trolls, (though I do sometimes admire the work of artists like @KrazyCane), but I was curious how he'd expose himself this time or if he'd have a semblance of a cohesive thought.

@KrazyCane is a master at stirring the pot while keeping his head off the guillotiine.

 

[UMFarArcher]

The next several weeks are going to be lots of fun here.

 

[Juancane]

R-E-L-A-X. Manny got this.

yea that phrase is something that gives everyone the warm and fuzzies.....cause manny has been amazing to date.

No one can get you banned.... only you can do that all by yourself by breaking any of the rules. Stay within those and your good... you can post your opinion just like everyone else here whether people agree with you or not

 

[88]

Something must have changed. Manny knows about our past of decommits and how that affects momentum. Maybe he’s telling kids if you’re going to look around, don’t commit yet. It’s just an unusually small number, usually we’d at least have some commits from kids that got offers that wouldn’t stick. (Noncommittal we offer nonsense. We have nothing right now.

Miami football recruiting and Manny Diaz supported by national expert

The Miami football program and head coach Manny Diaz were supported by a national recruiting expert with their deliberate approach in the 2022 class.

caneswarning.com

The Miami football program is taking a more deliberate approach in recruiting in the 2022 class. Head coach Manny Diaz does not feel pressure to win the recruiting battle during the summer. The Hurricanes signed the 11th ranked class in 2021. Miami currently has the 74th ranked 2022 class, but only three commits.

The average commit for Miami of 92.03 is among the best nationally. National recruiting expert Josh Pate of 247Sports.Com supported the approach the Miami football program and Diaz are taking in the 2022 class. Miami has often been compared to Florida State who currently has the fourth-ranked class.

Pate rightfully supported Miami and Diaz in their recruiting approach. Miami landed five-star signees safety James Williams and defensive tackle Leonard Taylor on July 21 and August 6, 2020, as the cornerstones of the 2021 class. Five-star 2022 defensive end Shermar Stewart is currently projected to eventually commit to Miami.

The Hurricanes might not sign a full class in 2022. There have been some reports Miami might sign 17 or 18 players in the Class of 2022 to leave open spots for transfers. Transfers, Running back Cody Brown from Tennessee and offensive lineman Justice Oluwaseun will count towards the 2022 Miami class.

Brown was let out of his 2021 National Letter of Intent with the Volunteers after head coach Jeremy Pruitt was fired in January. Brown adds depth to the Miami backfield. Oluwaseun is expected to be a backup on the offensive line in 2021 and compete to be a starter in 2022.

Pate gave his thoughts on the 2022 Miami class:

“What Manny Diaz is saying there, to skip past all the BS, what he’s saying is, ‘yeah, I don’t care what we’re ranked right now and what they’re ranked right now, we’re going heads up for a lot of kids…but we are taking a much more measured approach in the evaluation stage. ’Now this is not an apples to apples situation.

Florida State, roster-wise, is in a worst spot than Miami is. I don’t think anyone’s under the illusion otherwise. So it very maybe, that at Florida State, they are taking a little bit different approach than they are at Miami.
If I was Mike Norvell, I’d be going at it a little bit differently right now and my filter would be a little bit different than if I was Manny Diaz at Miami.

What Manny is saying is stop comparing us and if you are trying to, you need to understand …is there are kids right now we could take if we wanted to, but we’re not (because) we’re taking a different approach, we’re taking a more a measured approach because we don’t have 100 spots to hand out.

There’s a very weird roster situation in play and so we’re trying to adhere to that, so shut up about recruiting rankings in July. Well, the very nature of people who follow recruiting don’t shut up this time of year…There’s a word for what Manny Diaz is doing right now and that’s excuse making.

He’s making excuses because they don’t have momentum on the recruiting trail. The thing about it is, if you define momentum by just having a bunch of commitments, Miami could have momentum tomorrow if they wanted it. What’s he’s saying is, it’s going to take awhile to find out the validity of.

Manny Diaz is telling you essentially we’ll be there in the end…And we don’t really care about what’s happening right now. I like it selfishly because I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I really, really hope the collective tide is raised in the state of Florida for reasons I have stated over and over again.
It is good for college football when the big three in Florida are recruiting as they should be.”

When Diaz was elevated to head coach in December 2018 he stated a different approach to recruiting would be taken. Miami had frequently received commitments from players who then took visits to other schools. Diaz wants to be absolutely sure that has commits who want to be at Miami.

De-commitments were frequent for the Miami football program before Diaz moved one spot over from defensive coordinator to become head coach for the 2019 season. The measured approach paid off for Miami with the 17th ranked class in 2020, which was the first full one under Diaz and the 11th ranked 2021 class.

It’s inevitable for the Miami and Florida State classes to get compared. As Pate said, the Hurricanes and Seminoles are in different places. Florida State is recovering from the end of the Jimbo Fisher era and the failed 21 games under Willie Taggart as head coach. Miami has a more solid roster.

Although the Miami football program missed out on several players recently, the end of this week could gave the Hurricanes gain a couple of commitments. Athlete Chris Graves who Miami projects as a CB will announce his commitment on Friday. Linebacker Demario Tolan and CBs Jordan Alen and Nick Cull also announce in July.
