Thank you, but that is not what I addressed. The original post I commented on said Mario, at Miami, was establishing a pattern of getting the top Washington state recruit each year. That has not been the case and is not the current case.
As to Mario at Oregon, please check 247. In 2022 Mario got two of the top 5 Washington prospects. In 2021 - none of the top 10. In 2020 - one of the top 15. That boils down to one very good year, not a pattern of any kind.
Don't get me wrong; I posted about his success before. Mario is a recruiting stud and what he did, out of state at Oregon, was amazing. But the original post was about a current Washington state target and it morphed into Mario historically "locking down" Washington. My point was simply, no. That did not happen at Oregon and there is no "pattern" at Miami. Maybe one develops over time but what we have is one Washington dude, via IMG, now. I'm simply saying be realistic about what has, and has not, actually occurred.
Separately, I've also asked what you mentioned, how long will Mario's prior west coast contacts yield actual commitments? I have no idea. That's why I wonder. Only time will tell on this point. And by west coast I mean Washington, Oregon, and California. The latter may be misleading as there are simply so many Cali prospects that many leave the state, but I want to see how successful we are pulling WA and OR kids directly.
As to Nevada, particularly Bishop Gorman, I am unclear if any current Miami connection is due to this staff or the prior. Undoubtedly this staff has continued whatever we had, but it seems that we broke the ice with Brevin, and then Tate, under the prior staff. But maybe this staff has significantly improved whatever was there; again, I simply have no idea.
Thanks for your time.
