I am torn over how accommodating we are to non-UM players in the offseason.

On the one hand, it puts recruits in contact with NFL players while they visit UM.
On the other hand, it shows recruits that you don’t have to play at UM to be welcome on to use UM facilities. So it’s not a very exclusive club we have created. Basically telling recruits you can go to college anywhere you want and we will still welcome you with open arms.

What am I missing for why UM feels it is in UM’s best interest to have all these on-UM players using our facilities? Mind you I could care less if this is about Geno or his receiver or anyone else because I could care less about any player who does not attend UM, regardless of where they went to high school. I guess you can tell me that Geno is helping us a little by hyping our new OC, and maybe that explains his presence, but who I the f*ck cares about his WR from G*dd*mn Ohio state.

I am in a similar position and thought about it a bit.

I can see why everyone is up in arms over an OSU recruit running into a former OSU player. I think it is a net positive however to have the position of Miami being such a nice place to train that millionaires choose to do it when they can train anywhere. The pitch is that if it is good enough to be the preference for pros, it is good enough to for your time in college despite whatever Oregon or anyone else is saying about their superior facilities.


I think there must be some sort of waiver for these guys to sign to work out on campus right? If so, make them agree not to recruit for someone else while they are here as part of it.

& What about osu is ELITE exactly in that same time span? Maybe you and I have a different value in words. And for me there's a VERY big difference between ELITE and HIGHLY COMPETITIVE... All that being said there's an even more sizeable gap between HIGHLY COMPETITIVE and BARELY BREATHING. For the majority of the time since 2005 we've barely been breathing. That is certainly part of the bigger issue. The rest is simply a dead horse I don't care to beat on. Right now we're going through a rebirth. Our program is starting over from square 1 & that requires patience. For people that don't have that in them I only hope they run off like the peons they are and go worry about these supposedly elite programs elsewhere...

Elite or "highly competitive" it's all semantics. Ohio St has been one of the top college football programs this century. They win a lot, constantly compete for national championships, and produce NFL talent at an elite level. Those are objective facts. I can't blame a recruit for holding them in a higher regard, even if i wish they would rather play for my favorite team

So let me get this right. MOST fans on here can't get enough about *****ing and moaning about this judd kid. He's not this he's not that and no ELITE players wanna sign up with him... Well Dawson is in year #1. All he can show is van dyke who was relatively highly regarded already or the rest of the players in the room WHO HE JUST STARTED WORKING WITH. So again in trying to sell his vision to recruits of what a QB developed under him will look like where are our current options? Now with that in mind Geno smith chump *** is a Dawson guy. They get along well and he's been helpful to an extent. He is how Dawson is selling his vision essentially. Do I agree it could've been handled a lil better? Yeah I do. But I also know y'all are making this a far bigger issue than it is. If we're running from nonsense like this then we just some betas anyhow & we ain't got none of that **** in house... Also y'all making a WIDE ASSUMPTION that buddy is so enthusiastic about his support to osu as well... Plenty often that's just not the case.

Yeah Geno is a Dawson guy that part makes sense.

I agree. It’s cool to be the university that has open arms but no so open that people can exploit them.

Thank you. Finally someone with the honesty to say what’s been needed to be said. Every year it’s the same thing with the majority of these elite south Florida kids. They commit to the “elite” programs and then spend the next 12 months hanging around the building talking about how much they love The U, knowing **** well they have zero intention of coming here. I think the reason fans are fed up because we know when we’re being trolled...it’s so obvious. It sorta reminds me of a dude who’s woman is out cheating on him every night, yet at the end of each night he welcomes her back with open arms. At some point you have to show some dignity and refuse to be played for a fool time and time again. At least with Innis he let it be known from the jump he was 100% OSU and never wavered or gave us false hope. If I knew I were getting played like Smith is doing the door would be locked when he came to visit, but that’s just me.
