Miami is the buzz of south Florida

Time and winning. Another Coastal title and 10+ wins this year and we should start to see our recruiting become a little more self-sustaining.

Yep, add to that our penetration into areas of the state where we've never had a presence (central fla, jax, etc.). Gotta strike when the iron's hot, especially since UF and FSU are struggling.
 
Good article. Kind of funny how those quotes were from an FSU commit, Dunmore (doesn't have a UM offer but praying he gets one), Britt (2020 commit), and Bogle (probably our #1 target at DE). Just need to continue the momentum.

We just did that. Let’s get better

I understand this and agree to an extent but that's not always how CFB works. If it did, every team would just "improve" every year. I think with our schedule and (hopefully) a new QB, 10-11 wins is where we should be in 2018. I think re-winning the Coastal, not limping to the finish, and winning our bowl game would be improvement.

UM should be the buzz of South Florida, as we're the only program in South Florida. That's why I always have such high expectations for us with local schools/recruits.

We need to get everyone's expectations up and quit acting like we're some second tier program. Too many pvssies tip toeing around waiting for recruits to de-commit and all that facquitry. When we're rolling there's no better program in the country.

That's the tough part, and why we've limped to NSD the last two years, IMO. We were hot for 3/4 of a season last year - it's hard to outrecruit Bama/Clemson/et al just based on that. We NEED to string together 2-3 seasons like last year (or better) and I think a lot of the "buzz" will start turning into actual signatures.

It's also hard to outrecruit Baga, Georgia, and some other teams when they're handing out giant bags. Top 7 class, though, means we outrecruited about 123 other teams.

We should always have a giant advantage down here, and that's why we should be a dominant program. This is the densest area of talent in the country, and we're smack dab in the middle of it with no one else within 300 miles.

The IPF can only help. Or recruiting is better, our W/L is better and the IPF will be a nice sticking point that we are for real too. I know our competition has them too but at least don't look like little sisters of the poor anymore with our facilities.

Oh no question, we will ALWAYS lose recruits to bags each year. Sucks, but we just can't play that game on the level of some of those schools. But I think you'll definitely see a significant % increase in elite players staying home if we can win consistently over a 3-4 year period. You might even see some kids that would have otherwise taken those bags start to think twice...

If we were allowed to drop SEC type bags, we've have the #1 class every year. ****, if NO ONE was allowed to drop bags, we'd have a top 3 class every year. The NCAA knows what's going on, and they allow it. It was the driving force behind their witch hunt of us. Hurt UM and help others cherry pick talent. That's all it was about. That's the #1 reason they took so long. The longer it took, the worse it looked, and the easier it was for other schools to use it against us. Did they ever. God, I hate the corruption of the NCAA.

We are getting a good proportion of the elite kids especially in the 2018 class, now we got to continue to excel on the football a kid like Campbell or surtain wouldn’t think twice about staying home. At the end of the day people are going to have to understand we won’t get everyone, this isn’t Cali where usc gets every elite kid from there even with them folding and losing 2-3 games every season.
