I'm just tired of seeing a failing staff. Recruiting under Randy was bad. He alienated all local schools except MNW. Golden landed few studs, but then sent out 1 millions offers. collecting early commits then only to have a massive wave of decommits. I mean at somepoint the recruiting blueprint needs to change.
Why offer guys like Rodny Scott, Dingle, etc early and wait to last second to offer Harley? Why drop Gamble only to recruit him later on? Why string along Bandy for months before offering? Why not tell Edwards he can play anywhere just to get him on campus? This is exactly the type of **** that happened with previous staffs.
Recruiting clearly needs to be re evaluated. People pretend not to see it but situations like Dingle and Scott will hurt us at those local schools going forward. Miami has access to these kids 247 365. No other school has that. We need to better identify what kids we are targeting and stay on them.
And finailly, when it comes to elite recruits: play the game or continue to be "at the table".
I apologize if I come across being negative, but we can't seem to get out of our own way. And we haven't been relevant in a long time. It takes a toll. CMR is getting paid quite a bit. I expect him and his staff to do better.
It's a double edged sword being Miami.
On the one hand, theoretically, we do have access to these SoFl studs 24/7. On the other hand if we did something like Ohio St did to Gibson we'd be crucified.
