John huggins talks about miami recruiting strategy.

We are hemorrhaging 5* talent TC, PS2, Dent, and Stevenson if miss. Yes even if they coach up players I will be willing to part ways because we only get to 6 if sprinkle in 5* elite talent here and there.

And btw I think our DB class was solid last year but 2 were legacies and ivey was underrated. Hall was the only true victory. Now look at this cycle Steele, Elam, Battle, n seemingly Stevenson are all leaning somewhere else.

All the Rumph supporters were arguing with me at the beginning of cycle watch when he pulls Steele and Elam. Well im watching guys and where do we stand?
You raise some valid concerns, no doubt, and the misses make it really easy to put the blame on the coaches, but I believe you have to temper that with the perspective that the entire country looks at Florida DB's as the second coming, therefore all these school's "re$ource$" are being brought to bear in less than legitimate ways. You wanna part ways with coaches?? The new coaches are gonna be hamstrung with the same crap. I for one have thoroughly enjoyed watching MJack go from fan pariah to all ACC, how bout you? What I don't want is a return to players coming to the program and not getting better, done with that ****.

I disagree with hall being the only victory, and legacies aren't lay downs, you still have to recruit them. It may seem like some of these new guys are leaning away, but we will know more after paradise. Whether we get all 5* or no 5* we are assembling a team that will become a mainstay in the ACC Championship game, and eventually the CFP.

So he knew Jobe was going to Bama but our coaches didn’t?
Most people on here knew Jobe was going and our coaches didnt. Nothing new...some of them do a poor job of reading the tea leaves since recruiting and recruiting in s.fla at this level is new for them.
 
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Divaad Wilson that had conflicts with our class....unless it was both them. I know for sure Divaad had issues.

I think Troutman was about to beat up some kids at a camp or 7 on 7 as well lol. Apparently Pete said Wilson had issues with Frierson i belive...not sure how true to be it was..

troutman sucker punched jt4 during a 7v7 and he and his sfe goons went on twitter to gloat about it
 
You honestly believe our coaches didnt know? They knew that's why they weren't going to concede him without a fight

There is a difference between "not conceding with out a flight" and acting like you truly believe he is coming while everyone knew the "kid" was gone.
They didn't really recruit Samuels until the "kid" was a day away from decomiting.
They could have recruited Samuels and still not give up on the "kid" without a fight...but they didn't.

Who cares if there was any db we shouldn’t have slow played it was Asante Samuel or Jamien Sherwood

I agree we messed up there Samuel recruitment but I don't recall we slow playing Sherwood....not saying we didn't I just don't recall that.
Did we slow play Sherwood?

Seems to me to many people keep getting caught up with the star wars. People keep crying about who didnt come here, or we stole this guy from so and so. All that matters is who ever is here. All these sites rating kids means nothing. I hate listening to commentators that when a guy makes a play on the field, than they refer to whatever his ranking was coming out of highschool. Or if he's not playing so good but was rated high coming out they say stupid stuff like "this guy needs to start living up to his billing" NO, how bout somebody just didnt know WTF they were talking about or maybe the guy is just in the wrong system or with the wrong coaches.

I liked it when most people had no clue about recruiting and only knew the players once they got to UM unless they grew up in the City, we knew, but now, most people with a rivals account or any other are experts now on who we should or shouldnt get. The same people upset about not getting surtain or campbell, if those guys become bums, they'll be the same ones saying they glad they didnt come here.

Just think back to that ohigho fake game, we had SEAN TAYLOR, mo sikes, kelly j ennings and antrelle rolle, but they way people think now, they would've been complaining and mad that chris gamble was on the other side and why didnt we get him. Even tho that secondary was if im correct top 3 in the nation and #1 in certain categories.

Some would be even crazy enuff to complain about ohigho fake having jenkins at wideout even tho we had dre and roscoe along with ethnic sands. The ooint is just enjoy and root for the players that want to be here.

Again, look at the huggins situation for what it Truly is, this staff told him the Truth, just lije they told jobe the Truth, huggins knew it was jobe and than him. If a player gets mad cause a school is being Truthful that's on him, cause if UM was Truly the school he wanted to go to, he would've came and proved he was better than jobe or at least one of the best. It's like this year with ladson, the other receivers knew ladson had first dibs to come in, than them, cant get salty off of coach dugans and company's eval pecking order.

I could care less where the guys t b at choose to leave go, the way things are going, they gone all have to see us at some point anyway and it'll be more of us on one team than them on another and they'll know what they up against. Sure chris gamble and jenkins made plays, which shows they had to turn to the Florida boys in order to compete. 2 of the biggest plays involved them, first on that 4th down catch jenkins made, he shoved glenn sharpe way downfield, i dont remember when they started call offensive pass interference but it could've started on that play and we would've never had gotten to the non pass interference on glenn sharpe, like dan fouts said "i think the ball got there before glenn sharpe did, terrible call".

UM fans should be the first ones to know stars dont mean smit, what was santana moss rated coming out of highschool, nigel bethel fits that same mode, he'll be coached up by coach rumph who's a real, i wouldnt want any other db coach than having coach rumph with us. He not begging no recruits to come here, and we'll win with who we have. Remember malek young wasnt highly rated by the so called recruiting expert sites, and most witnessed how that was going, so we in Great hands we coach rumph and banda. The Best thing i like about coach banda is when he said something like "im starting too see now why UM accomplished as much as we have" , cause he started seeing the mentality we have down here on the field and off it and our Love for the game, once its all put together, college football knows what's coming. Besides the money, that's the real reason gumbo fisher got outta here, he knew what was coming. Without devonta freeman and dalvin cook, they not winning that national championship, along with a couple of other Miami players.
 
When you got Blades, gilbert frierson, gurvan hall, dj ivey and nigel bethel, That's real Miami recruiting right there. The guys that left and went to help out other schools, that's on them and that's they business, we straight with who came and who we got, especially from a mental standpoint. If yo mind is not to come here than Dont come here. It wont be long before it'll be back to "either sign with us, or get beat by us, the choice is yours"!
 
Blades, Frierson, and Ivey are all quality players with great talent however 2 are legacies and one was criminally under rated. Hall was the only one that was an outright victory in my opinion.

lol at calling someone a legacy because his cousin played here. Yet you think Elam isn't a UF legacy, when his cousin played there.

And who the **** cares how we land them?

We landed the #5 DB class in the entire country last year, and you've made 200 posts crying like they're a bunch of 2*.

That's my biggest problem with this staff, well, more so the DB coaches. They are AWFUL at reading kids. When it on the wall that a Ohio State or a Alabama kid is going to decommit or isn't going to Alabama/Ohio State those schools are already recruiting his replacement like a month in advance. Meanwhile Banda and Rumph wait till a commit decommits the day of to start recruiting a placement or just stop recruiting all together leading in low quality numbers.

Also I'm glad we didn't recruit the Huggins kid hard. Dude was slow on tape.

Lol your a joke bro. Its an honest fkin assessment. Last cycle in the state of florida you could open your front door and 4 4*s would fallen in, thats how deep it was we still managed to end up with a project.at CB. If you look at this **** objectively you can see the flaw in our DB recruiting. There probably isnt a position group that misses on more 4 n 5* prospect than Miami at DB. Take off ur groupy glasses. Miami will have solid DBs but in reality we should be elite. The talent we missout on from our own backyard is baffling. How u dnt see that is mind boggling.
 
Sorry this may be an unpopular opinion but good for the kid. Our "strategy" last year suked and while we chased PS2, TC, and Slobee we missed out on samuels, troutman, and this kid which are all quality players.

You win some, you lose some...oh well IDGAF. So we didn't get Judas, or PS2, or TC...That's not an indictment on our staff as we pulled in some studs in Frierson, Ivey, Hall, and possibly Blades if he keeps developing. Who had better DB recruiting last class across the ACC?!? You could make an argument for Free Shoes as their hall at DB was impressive, but outside of them (Which I think we picked the right players compared to them), who else took us behind the woodshed? No one...
 
Blades, Frierson, and Ivey are all quality players with great talent however 2 are legacies and one was criminally under rated. Hall was the only one that was an outright victory in my opinion.
LOL at this lame twist of facts to support your argument. I’ve been as tough on Rumph for persistent recruiting failures, but to claim that guys as talented as Ivey, Frierson and Blades weren’t wins makes you look dopey.
