Ray Ray Says Mario's Building a Wall.

I think you guys might be taking the “put up a fence” line too literally. We will still recruit the best players regardless of where they are but dammit I want any elite kid who plays in Dade and Broward AT LEAST (we can extend it to WPB, Orlando and Tampa as the years go on) to not even think of going anywhere but Miami. Starts next year with Jeremiah Smith, JoJo Trader, TJ Capers and Antoine Jackson. All 4 will be top 50 kids and none should leave to go play in the $EC or Ohio state like elite kids in years past. I want those days to end. That’s what Ray Ray is saying.

In a couple of years, if you’re name is not Miami, it’s going to be very difficult to take any kid Mario doesn’t want in SFL.

Abandon the phrase, especially when the two five star wide outs and probably next best are leaving, the top running back is committed to tosu, the highest ranked DB and LB are headed out of state and your pipeline school is now IMG.

I don't really care about the wall to be honest... I like Mario's national approach much better.
Look at our 2001 team... a lot of our top players at key positions were not from Florida. We need to recruit nationally and then keep some good local kids home to build out the team and depth. Also a lot the Florida kids who contributed were not ranked as 5 stars or from South Florida...

QB Dorsey (CA), Crudcup*, Otega*
RB Portis*, McGahee*, Gore*, Davenport*, Payton (IL), Hill*, Cobia*
TE Shockey (OK), Winslow (CA)
WR Johsnon*, Jones (TX), Geathers*, Sands*, Beard*, Parrish*
OL McKinney (NJ), Carey*, Myers*,Romberg (Canada) , Gonzalez*, Bibla (PA), Butler*, McGrath (Canada), Rodriguez*, Wilkins (NJ), Haji-Rasuoli (Canada)
DL Wilfork*, Joseph*, McDougle*, Green (TX), A. Williams*, Thomas (FL), Carrol (NJ), Walters*, Harris (DE), Square (TX)
LB DJ Williams (CA), Vilma*, Clark (NJ), L. Williams (NY), Walker*, Campbell (TX)
CB Rolle*, Rumph*, Buchannon*, Jennings*, Fitzgerald*, Scott*
S Reed (LA), Taylor*, Sikes*, Lewis (NJ), Maxey (TX), Marshall*, Weaver*
P Capshaw (WY)
K Sievers (IA)

Look at our starters: 13 starters were not from Florida.

IMO, the only way they are going to truly convince future SF elite kids to stay home is if we first have success recruiting nationally.

It's the same thing with women. What's the best way to make a hot woman want you? Make her jealous. How do you do that? Divert some of your attention elsewhere. Getting recruits like Mauigoa, Okunlola, Wayne, Ricks, etc.. on board will be more effective to changing the "diva" mindset than recruiting SF kids with a sense of desperation.

Tried & proven my friend. TRIED & proven.

I think that the impact will be felt 2-3 years away with the local kids. Mario is building the foundation with relationships, then if we start producing high draft picks and wins then you’ll see how we can pick the local guys that we want and then fill out Nationally.

I 100% agree. I’ve tried to bark up this tree before. We need the best kids, wherever they are from.

Brian Kelly won titles?
Click to expand...
In the last 4 years, Brian Kelly has a record of 44-6, appearing in 2 College Football Playoffs.
Brian Kelly has had one <10 win season since this recruiting class year was in elementary school.
LSU won a Nation Championship in 2019 where we saw Jamarr Chase win the Biletnikoff award, then absolutely set the NFL ablaze.

Is it really hard to see why a kid would pick that combination? Lets compare to Miami.

The last 4 years, Miami has a record of 28-21.
Miami has had one 10 win season since 2003.
In the last 4 years, we have had 2 WR get drafted. KJ Osborn and Braxton Berrios. Major love to both of them, but neither are Jamarr Chase.

These kids arent basing commitment decisions on championships that were won before they were born. 2001 is old news. They want to go to Coaches/Programs that are winning now and that simply hasnt been us. Mario gonna change that tho.

Why are you comparing Miami and not Mario’s record at Oregon?

Listen, im a Miami fan. ***** Brian Kelly. I strongly believe Cristobal is the better coach between the two, easily. Im just rationalizing why a kid like Jalen Brown would choose the Brian Kelly/LSU option over Cristobal/Miami. Sure the LSU championship coaching staff may not be there but kids see STARS and want to follow in their path all the time. You dont see every WR doing the griddy dance? We shouldnt act like hes some type of "diva" for it. We want kids to stay home when all we had to offer were 7-5 seasons. I believe Cristobal will put us in that position with time, but lets not act like we have always been desirable.

Cristobal was OVER qualified for the current Miami head coaching position and took a step backward by coming here. If we were not his alma mater theres no way he wouldve left to come here. Miami has sucked and kids have eyes... They saw us sucking too.

BTW, Mario's record the last 4 years was 35-12 with 0 Playoff appearances. Not exactly 44-6 with 2 Playoff appearances.

With all that said, im 100% behind Mario and i know for a fact he will change our program around. But part of that change will be keeping the elite south florida kids home. As he said "lets bring it in tight".

Facts. Except the best kids come from South Florida. I linked an article earlier but its just a fact, IMG, STA, American Heritage and Northwestern are the TOP 4 highschools with NFL kids.... In that order. Of course you go and get stars from other places, but the highest concentration of NFL talent is right in Miami's backyard, the staff would be foolish to not take advantage of that.

At least 2 key stats missing:
Cringeworthy videos dancing w/ recruits, and student assistants dead during practice. Miles lead there is as high as a scissor lift.

The support that Mario has behind him now + recruiting SFLA versus trying to convince kids to come to Oregon >>>>> Oregon job
