Just my opinion but this class is nowhere near good enough and we’re now almost to November.

We can talk about the excuses and reasons all we want but in the end all that matters is who shows up to greentree in the fall and right now our recruiters aren’t getting it done.

I’m sure 5-7 doesn’t help but that was a year ago, we’re 5-2 now not 5-7. I don’t think last year has anything to do with this year. If you ask me, I still think it’s NIL and people being cheap.

We need to land 5-stars, bottom line. You win championships with 5-stars. We recruited a bunch and apparently we’ve whiffed on them all at every position. Not acceptable

And being and appearing to be happy in the ACC. At least FSU can sell that they won't be in the ACC much longer.

You finally got a date with a smoke show IG model, and she gets blackout drunk and throws up on you (GaTech)

Lol
No one (if I was single) would ever do that to me.
I think

My opinion is Restrepo goes pro

Harrell and Larson definitely won't be back…Redding is the obvious portal candidate.

what's he going pro in? Publix? dude is tiny and not berrios athletic. hes gonna be an UDFA no matter what. get an NIL deal and finish your college career then sign w a team

You are underrating his athleticism…And I think he can get drafted late.

4.58 at the opening over 4 years ago?

I'd like to think can do a legit 4.5 or just under now. Doesn't get all this yac by accident.

That's what I'm saying...

Enough with the fckin excuses, I thought we weren't supposed to have those anymore in recruiting?

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Exactly. I don't think you're that far apart either. My point is, I don't think Miami's chance was on the same plane as everyone else's chance for JS. It's the same on the opposite end of the spectrum as Duke Johnson for example. Kid was wanted by everyone but wanted to be a Cane because that was his team and nothing was going to change his mind. It wasn't a fair playing field for the other schools involved but that's recruiting.

I think what starts to sway the situation is when we start hearing things like "They like where they're at with _______" And we tend to get a sense that things are trending a certain way and then the kid spurns the program anyways despite the objective evidence. If JS were a 2023 recruit, it would make sense, see Brandon Innis' recruitment. But what JS has "said" he wants to see from Miami is there with the exception of the GT debacle. What's fascinating to me about recruiting is trying to pitch a logical situation to a being (16-18 year old athletes) that is, typically, non-logical by default. I know I sure as **** was not logical at 17 years old.

I'll give my very simple take on the matter.

I don't believe a **** word in ANY of the public statements from most recruits.

And whether the recruit changes his mind or not, the information from the insiders is far more reliable than the PUBLIC comments that these kids give to reporters.

That's why the phrase "dream school" is so hated around here.

Now this I totally agree with.

The thing that you're overlooking is the other guys at his position are going to improve and get more snaps next year. Brashard is already getting more snaps (finally). RayRay will get snaps. So, X coming back will likely mean less playing time for him.

I could understand if he wants to come back, but the other guys are going to play as well. Others, who are more explosive, may push him for the starting job.

 

[TrumpyCane]

Here are some fun recruiting facts from last season brought to you by TrumpyCane!

These are the players who committed after our debacle of a season after awful losses to a multitude of teams after October ended

Samson 12/15
Ruben Bain 12/13
Mark Fletcher (FLIP) 12/18
Damari Brown 12/21
Collins Ach (FLIP) 11/29
Josh Horton 12/4
Chris Johnson 12/11

Caleb Spencer flipped from Oklahoma 10/28

TrumpyCane isn't saying this will happen again but we still have 2 months of recruiting left, promises will be broken, deals will be made or added to, etc

I won’t be deterred….

 

[NorthEastCane]

There’s nothing to show because the entire team is bad outside of the offense and their not even elite lol. Yall would he bottom of the league if jettas wasn’t generational

Chiefs won because they are elite at the other 2 of the top 4 most important positions, QB and OL. They have mahomes so its an outlier just like when the pats had brady, its a system. Most top nfl teams have an elite wr not a elite corner

That's because elite corners are harder to find.
