“Out of 20 prospects listed above, InsideTheU is under the impression that at least six of them had at one time given the Hurricanes some type of silent verbal commitment including Bogle. Obviously we're in an era of recruiting where kids change their minds every other day, but going nearly 0-for-20 on some of your top targets simply isn't going to work.”-Andrew Ivins
I didn’t expect 2019 to be like storm 18, I did however expect 2019 class to be a stop gap year, I knew we wouldn’t replicate that magic from last year because of the 3 game losing streak in 2017, but I thought we would plug in a Tyrique Stevenson or Frank Ladson or a player of that caliber here and there, but instead we go 0-20. Jesus this is bad, a lot of people including me wanted Cristobal here badly, because in CFB almost 70% of a team’s success is built through the players recruited. I wanted someone who would change that culture of being plan B... I’m excited about Manny hiring so far but I can’t help but think of the mountain this man has to climb now because of all the stupid s—t that could’ve been avoided months before this, Ivins said if fixing Miami offense is #1 priority. Then #2 should be recruiting, at this point I don’t know where to begin, on one hand Miami can push the restart button with class of 2020, restart everything from evaluations to new recruitments, and with a new staff this could be used as an excuse for not offering a kid straight after peewee football. Only kids locked in with us can visit campus numerous times too. Honestly there’s so many things that need fixing, at this point we can either open up our check books and hire a staff of the nations top recruiters. 1 of Clemson OC’s (the better recruiter), Seider, Tee Martin, Trooper Taylor etc. Or we hire up and coming coaches who are analytically & schematically ahead of the game in terms of offense, win some games and hope that 2020 & 2021 is different. Or we get into the Bag Game, either way, something has to change. Restoring Miami’s recruiting is Manny’s first real test.
