Didn’t have a lot of offers but we were one. He ended up at Houston. Anyone know the story?

This isn’t true, well the sucking part is true but evaluating talent is false.

We do an outstanding job of evaluating talent but that talent once noticed around the county kicks us to the curb like Crowley last year

Outstanding is a bold word. They’ve dropped the ball with a lot south Florida recruits that, “ weren’t miami caliber” that went on to Have great careers elsewhere.

When we properly evaluate, we can't sell.

We do a horrendous job at evaluating talent.

Its South Florida. You could hit a D1 football player within throwing distance anywhere in the tri-county area. Every neighborhood had a future All-Conference player. wtf evals are this team making? Anyone could have done what we've done over the past few years...even you. The number of passes by the staffs over the years is particularly dumb. Its incredible. Every year there is a four star player that is being recruited by UF, FSU, Bama, Oklahoma and Miami "passes" on them for some low four-star from the Treasure Coast and that South Florida kid goes on to start from Day 1 at some place like Oklahoma.

We do find guys its just when bag schools find out after we do they land the prospect
 
As far as evals go. I’d say the only top notch ones that worked out would be Greg Rousseau jafari Harvey Jordan miller. Nesta also cause we were on him really early. Like 3 star early. But kul gets credit for some of those. He may be a *** but the guy can coach. We’ve been early before but the guys blow
Up and ditch us like Crowley who looks real good in garbage time for taint. Lmk if I missed any really good evals by our staffs over the last 4 years

Dallas and Cam Harris pretty good evals...Dallas I believe was a lower 4* without a true position and we were on him very early...A lot of teams wanted him sure, but we made him a real priority early. Harris blew up because of camp circuit. But I believe fell just short of 1k junior year even with N.Wright being injured during playoff run, and then like 600-800 yards senior year. Many on here questioned his production. Garvin a pretty good eval too, even though his sack numbers are down this year. I guess Hedley too?
 
Lack of player development can make your evals look like crap. Jerry Jeudy I believe is rated as the top rated prospect for the NFL draft. Would he be if he came to Miami?

Can’t keep blaming bags. Sometimes we just aren’t interested in a kid. Then we try to circle back once our priority recruits dip. However, it’s not “there’s a player higher on the board” talk it’s like “we don’t think you’re that good” then we try to circle back and lose the kid.
