Of course Miami was recruiting with 1 hand tied behind our back. We weren’t buying players. Coach L was ACTUALLY following the rules.
And before/after the FBI fiasco he was STILL getting recruiting classes and transfers good enough to make us a top 15 program.
OF COURSE Ruiz and NIL helps. That might put us in top 5-10 territory in basketball.
But Pack and Omier wanted to come here because of Coach L, and Ruiz just made that decision easier for them so they wouldn’t be at a financial disadvantage in doing so.
