When asked about progress with the Class of 2019, Diaz offered this: “What we’re seeing now the third time through the cycle is our commitment to being THE choice of all the kids down here in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach,” Diaz said. “These kids were 9th graders when coach (Mark) Richt got here. What coach Richt has done, continuing to elevate (the program) - these kids have short memories, that’s probably about what they remember about Miami football. Their friends now are Canes, because the kids we took two years ago from a Broward County school, Dade County school, they’re here. And they want to be with their friends. You can go from being the place where the kids don’t want to go … to the place where kids do want to go … quickly. And people can see our intentions. When you compare us to some of the other schools that are around in terms of how dedicated we are to dominating South Florida, some people want to dominate the recruiting rankings. We want to dominate South Florida. And if we dominate South Florida, what history shows is when Miami dominates South Florida then Miami dominates the world in the fall. That’s the only rankings we care about is where we get ranked the first week in January. We know the path to it because we’ve seen it done before. If we continue on that path good things are going to happen.”
