Predicting recruiting regions of our coaches and its croots

[Zbrod95]

Hey guys I just wanted to start a thread discussing the potential regions our coaches could be given. Just a quick note not all of our coaches are in Florida they're spread out through out the southeast, but in areas where we've had players come from in the past and new areas such as Georgia and Texas. I'll also list the top 5 UNCOMMITTTED recruits in the area imo, feel free to add other names

Miami-Dade, Broward, Fort Myers area:

Manny Diaz (for the big recruits)

Mike Rumph

Ephraim Banda

Ok my reasoning behind this is coach Rumph and coach Diaz are from South Florida. They know the area, but I'm skeptical if coach Rumph ability to recruit at a high level is there yet and no not because of who flipped but more of he wasn't able to snag at least one of the low- tier guys. So that brings in Coach Banda who snagged our biggest late commitment in Romeo Finley, which was enough in my eyes to believe he can be a contributor to building that fence up again. It'll be easier for us to lock up home than it will be anywhere else, this area is all about winning and rebuilding strained relationships.

Top Uncommitted prospects in Miami-Dade:

De'Andre Wilder OLB : MR. EYE-CANDY - Deandre Wilder highlights - Hudl

Kevaughn Dingle WR : 8Ball Junior Season - Kevaughn Dingle highlights - Hudl

Trajan Bandy CB : NOFLYZONE - Trajan Bandy highlights - Hudl

Naytron Culpepper S : Junior season highlights - Naytron Culpepper highlights - Hudl

Brian Edwards CB/S : Tallljitts Back! - Brian Edwards highlights - Hudl

Top Uncommitted prospects in Broward:

TeDarrell Slaton OL : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2849089/highlights/244293001/v3

Stanford Samuels CB : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3235484/highlights/170456376/v3

Jerry Jeudy WR/CB : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2913673/highlights/177979380/v3

Kyshaun Bryan RB : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3248955/highlights/321693398/v3

Emmanuel Greene WR : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2775926/highlights/204111380/v3

there isn't a lot of talent in the fort myers area that I believe deserve a scholarship but if one pops up it'll be their guy.

Central/North Florida, Palm Beach:

Thomas Brown (for the big recruits)

Ron Dugans

North Florida is extremely more important now then it was 10 years ago with the creation of the IMG academy. Everywhere Ron Dugans has coached his recruiting area has been Florida but more North Florida than South Florida. So with that being said why not put him back in an area where he's had success. Thomas Brown also has to be heavily involved in this area as well with his area at georgia was North Florida and South Georgia. Ron Dugans is probably the best recruiter on the staff and before any nay sayers of dugans come and say "oh he lost Williams", he was the lead recruiter for Darnell Soloman and Trajan Bandy for USF and Calvin Pryor, Deiontrez Mount(6th round pick of the titans), Will Gardner, and James Hearns who he flipped from UF at Louisville. So by my account he found 2 NFL players, a starting QB, and flipped a high profile linebacker from UF. That's a pretty good track record and if you look deeper into his record his guys are still on both rosters.

Top Uncommitted prospects in Palm Beach:

James Blackman QB : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4801383/highlights/328358578/v3

Jerry Drake OL : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3890112/highlights/312109375/v3

Noah Curtis ATH: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3712075/highlights/297861451/v3

Amari Carter S : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3434041/highlights/311625380/v3

Todd Centeio QB : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2985649/highlights/316102389/v3

Top Uncommitted prospects in North Florida:

Dylan Moses HB/OLB/DE : His highlights are apparently private, best prospect in the nation all I gotta say

Jarez Parks DE : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4562843/highlights/328780422/v3

Josh Kaindoh DE : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3113639/highlights/304092392/v3

James Robinson WR : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2943756/highlights/289391376/v3

Colin Wilson RB : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2796883/highlights/172425376/v3

Georgia:

Todd Hartley

Jon Richt

I think its important that CMR uses his connections he already established and grab talent from there, especially the Metro-Atlanta area that in the last few years has been an SEC hot bed for talent. We have a coach in Todd Hartley who's already established there and it could be a good training or proving ground depending on how you look at it for Jon Richt because its an area he knows well. In order to be able to compete with the top tier programs in CFB is that we need to start going into SEC ground and at least build relationships or in this case maintain them to the best of our abilities so that when we get to winning in our own conference and playing in Charlotte against FSU or Clemson we can go into their living rooms and say hey not only can we get you into the NFL but we play for Conference Championships and eventually National Championships.

Top Uncommitted prospects in Georgia:

DeAngelo Gibbs CB : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3638286/highlights/321651393/v3

Bailey Hockman QB : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2588491/highlights/323761387/v3

Jamyest Williams CB/ATH: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4038339/highlights/302334456/v3

William Poole III CB: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2685828/highlights/304679378/v3

Andrew Thomas OT : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2883797/highlights/321230375/v3

Texas/Louisiana:

Stacy Searels

Craig Kuligowski

I think having these two guys maintaining their relationships is huge to the growth of UM football as well, especially in Texas where Baylor and TCU are the dominant teams but they only take certain players due to their schemes. there's no reason that we can't be competitive in the state especially with Coach Kool's years of pulling d-linemen out of their and turning them into 1st round picks and All-Americans. Coach Searels connection to Texas is that he was there when Mack Brown was the coach and he was famous for only recruiting in Texas for years and before that he coached at LSU when Nick Saban was there and won a championship until Saban bolted to the Dolphins. Idk about you guys but I wouldn't mind Coach Searels bringing Hog Mollys from that area either. Again it's important that we go into these areas and develop relationships, perfect proof is FSU going after Jameis Winston in Hueytown, Alabama and stealing someone out of Bama's backyard same thing when OSU went into Georgia and stole Raekwon McMillan from UGA. We need at some point to go into these areas and steal one or two guys to build ourselves into a power again FSU does, Clemson does, OSU does, Alabama has been coming into all these areas and taking guys since 07 and look what they've turned into.

Top Uncommitted prospects in Texas/Louisiana:

Marvin Wilson DT: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2914209/highlights/327996390/v3

Jeffrey Okudah S : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3197943/highlights/313513467/v3

Devonta Smith WR : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3386041/highlights/318830441/v3

Tylan Wallace WR : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3673025/highlights/212492375/v3

Todd Harris S : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2875227/highlights/308592480/v3


Just to clarify I do believe the first order of business is to lock down SFL, I'm tired of seeing other schools coming in and we're not able to put up a fight as I'm sure it bothers everyone else

Player Watch: Just watch out for these two Palm Beach guys

I'm really high on Jerry Drake, he's a big kid (6'7 300lbs) and Bama just offered him in the last week and I believe he's an underrated prospect we shouldn't let leave home

Ok so I really like Bailey Hockman but I'm enamored with James Blackman from Belle Glade and I believe the kid is severely under rated and Ithink he's going to blow up with offers. Everybody was saying oh N'kosi Perry decommitted I hope he has a back up plan well this kid's better as a passer and he's a duel threat QB at 6'4 and after watching his highlights and watching him throw I have no problem comparing him to Teddy Bridgewater out of High school. Both are thin guys out of High school and not a lot of people are on them, but he's a little bigger at 6'4 and Blackman is more athletic than Teddy was. I would be really upset if he leaves to some place like Louisville and we'll have deal with him for 3-4 years.

Rumor has west coast of Fl.

 

[Freddie Bear]

Ephraim Banda did well in North Florida. Hartley did well in the Northeast. Shouldn't Dugans be on the West Coast of FL?

[deerob305]

I think the OL coach has the east coast...coach kool will deal with the Texas/Louisiana

 

[kalinis]

richt has said all his coaches will recruit south florida. palmbeach/miami dade/ broward. he says are all positions in those counties and schools are gonna know they are here.

so i expect those 3 counties to be a huge part of every coaches recruting area. then outside that no idea. ill wait to hear word on it. i think i like how richt is gonna do it better then how golden and shannon did it.

the old way they did it didn't work. alienated s fla coaches and everything. having every coach on staff flooding s fla should start to lock down the top recruits in miami's area.

 

[Cubana]

I really like the approach that Richt took on this recruiting cycle. He didn't assign coaches to specific schools, regions or states. Richt rotated coaches around allowing everyone to see and interact with the same recruits and high school coaches. There are many advantages to this. For example:

1) When you consider personalities. I think you have a better chance at connecting with prospective recruits when you have more than one coach visiting the school.
2) You don't fall behind in recruiting a kid, say for example, if you lose a coach to another school.
3) Most high school coaches are going to send a variety of players off to college so it's best for the coach and recruit to meet the whole staff regardless of position.
5) Probably the most important is that everyone has a different eye for talent so where one coach may overlook a kid another coach may pickup on his talents right away.

Hope he give's Rumph MT, the Dakotas and Wyoming

Good post Cubanita!

I think coach Searels is suspect when it comes to his recruiting ability. What talented Olinemen did he recruit to VaTech during his 2 years as Vatech's online coach? He has been living off of his LSU accomplishments for more than decade. As for his recruiting at Texas, that was like shooting fish in a barrel back then Texas got whomever they wanted from the state simple because they are UT.

Once he left the $EC bagmen and Texas entitlements to top instate Texas kids, how did Coach Searels do in both recruiting and producing quality line play or NFL talent? Someone please tell me.

I don't care much about his recruiting ability as opposed to how he can develop the offensive line. Kehoe was known for his recruiting ability and look how ****** our offensive line has been for the last few years. How about we give this staff a full year before we start *****ing? K, thanks. Bye.

 

[Cubana]

Like it or not, Kehoe has helped a lot of guys get to the league. So his recruiting and coaching speaks for itself. I think the offensive line play will be much better this year simply with better game planning and play calling.

 

[Cortez55403]

Wish we had a coach with some recruiting connections to California. Don't see it on this staff. That's too big a state with too much talent to totally ignore.

 

[dedostheibis]

As long as rummph isnt recruiting american heritage we might have a shot for those kids

 

[HonorCane]

Dunning is the latest to come out and say he doesnt like the feel he gets from the new staff what is going on?
