This is where kids with PARENTS come into play. Those kids will choose Miami over bags more often than kids with a busted family and no money. Those kids will take a bag and a cool ride to satisfy their wants now, because they've never had anything nice. Kids with good parents will guide their kids to do the right thing, not the thing that makes them feel good at the moment. Then you have parents that ***** their children out for their own gain. Those kids never end up at UM, and I am glad.

I can't always tell who's white and privileged on a message board, but when I can it's because of posts like this. Not all poor families are "busted". Any other 18 year old prodigy except for Football and basketball players (mostly black kids) can cash in at 18 without being extorted for free labor first. They deserve the bags and much more.
Nice post.
I do do think that to the extent the local kids want to protect the 305, we are in solid shape in a general sense. It is like we have a slight advantage on an otherwise even playing field. However, bags will be in play for players. I also think bags will tilt the advantage out of nowhere from time to time. It is all apart of the game that is recruiting. The guys we have committed now, is it about telling SFla in a similar way that Howard use to sell the U to local kids? If so we may be on to something special. To think what could be again is very exciting.

Maybe its me, but it seems like the Pastor is putting the pressure on these LOCAL kids to solidify their spot earlier because he can easily go OOS and get some ballers as well. Wait, and get left out. However, now there seems to be a trickle down effect. These top local kids are showing legit interest, committing early, shutting down their recruitment, and starting to recruit the other TOP local kids. Of course Miami, will recruit itself nationally every year but its getting to the point, imo, where it seems like if you're one of the best in Miami and you have an offer from the U, then you better commit or be an outkast! There is a sense of PRIDE. A sense of URGENCY. A sense of FAMILY and HOME.
"MIAMI is HOME" means something again!
We back, bltches......

I think the "extorted for free labor" is a bit over the top. They are getting a full ride which most of us can't afford, especially at a pvt. institution like UM where one semester may equal a year's salary for some folks.
I understand these players bring a lot of money to their institution by playing high level sports, so it is not to say they don't deserve maybe some more compensation. But they are hardly "working" for free. Let's be real here.

And the ones who get injured in college and never get all the way back? What happens to them? A lot of these kids have given their lives to the game. There's nearly a whole generation of college graduates in this country who can't find work in their field, are unemployed or underemployed and are carrying student debt equal to or greater than the GDP of all but a handful of the countries on earth, and you still think a college degree is acceptable compensation? ****, half the kids I bartender with have masters degrees.
The highest paid faculty member at nearly every PUBLIC university in this country is the football coach. It's gotta be **** near a billion dollar a year industry if not more, but the men often sacrificing their long term health to provide the labor don't get ****. You say they're hardly working for free, so which is it or both? You think it's not work or it's not free? Because it's obviously very hard work and **** dangerous too, and if there's no pay check, it's free.
