Top recruits are attracted to successful coaches. What you say creates a false dichotomy, like we should have either elite athletes or elite coaching. We can have both. Golden still has much to prove in that regard. This year for him is pivotal on many levels, but I am cautiously optimistic based on how we finished last year and who we have coming back. My point about the SEC is that as a Cane, all we need to show them is our play when we line up across from them. The only program in that conference with more mncs than us is Alabama. We will NEVER get all of elite kids in SF.
The recruiting game has changed. Social media and "globalization", if you will, have made the world much smaller. What we need to focus on is getting the right kids, the kids that fit what we do and yes some, perhaps many, of them will be elite but as you know SF is a haven for elite athletes, which is why I'm not as concerned about losing Sony. We bought the hype that he was going to be a Miami Hurricane going back to him being in Junior High School. We recruited him hard, and for now he's going elsewhere. Later for him. I celebrate the kids that want to be Hurricanes. And truthfully we haven't lost Lane or Sony for that matter since this is just June.
Huh? F&ck showing the sec anything. We do what we do. The local kids are staying at home. We can't get every big named recruit coming out of SF. The kids you name should want to rep their home team. If they don't later for them. As we win more and more and the NCAA stops its madness our recruiting will go beyond where it is today, which all things considered is very good.
Lane and Cook and Sony, it shows a message to the SEC teams and the future to local kids that UM is the place and to stay home. Just the magnitude of getting these 3 scares everyone else and the trolling will begin, thats when u know we back.
U win more with good players or is it just coaching? I'll take talent all day just like the draft, position of need is at DT but landing those 3 would be a game changer. That would be breaking news on espn and everyone would say we are cheating again. Also u cant replace elite talent just because a SFLA kid leaves doesnt mean u can plug another SFLA player and he would do the same NO WAY. Thomas Bostwick Collins Bryant cant be replaced no matter which name took over there spot sorry, true story and im pretty sure the staff knows that.
