Small college teams are gawds and many athletes love the small town college dominated areas like lsu uf bama fsu etc…miami is great but may not entice kids thats already used to the big city vibe

i have to disagree. i go to UM currently and from what ive seen girls are not fascinated by the guys on our football team like they are at smaller city schools. the majority of UM girls are either foreign (and dont know what football is) or are wealthy girls from big cities that dont care if you are on the football team unless youre a complete stud. Whereas at state schools like FSU or Indiana or Clemson, these girls are brought up idolizing the athletes. Check out Kevin Olsens current girlfriend...and he's a goodlooking kid who is gonna be our starting QB

That's not true at all, I go to UM currently as well. The majority of UM girls are not foreign/wealthy. Obviously there are a good amount that are, and even they hang with the football team, but they are DEFINITELY in the Minority.
Plus, they don't always have to go to South Beach. When they go to the grove they always have very hot girls hanging around them. I mean when I'm walking to class and I pass by where all the basketball players hang out, they always have a couple of hot girls there. Now obviously the public schools just have more girls, so they will likely have more hanging around the players than a school with only 5k girls.
But, yeah the only reason I could see players being more popular at other schools are because they are Very good or there are just more girls , which increases the odds. But for the average player, I think Miami is better. I mean they also have FIU girls they can get, and there is no beating the models that'll be in south beach.

I'd go to Clemson as a skill guy. One of the best OC's in the game with an exciting offense that's very skill player friendly. What's not to love?

I'd rather go to a SEC school, they pay good money, the stadiums are always packed, & that's where all the best players go.

Its ok to get off you knees now

Miami Hops on Board With Midwest DL Alabi

Miami has offered more prospects in the 2015 recruiting class than ever before, but also in a wider range of places than ever before.

On Friday, Michigan became the 31st state that’s home to a prospect with a Hurricane offer. Detroit Cass Tech star Joshua Alabi is their first serious target there in three years.
“Their head coach (Al Golden) talked to my mom and he told her I had a scholarship at Miami,” Alabi said. “We had been communicating the past couple months but I thought I would have to go down there first. The offer came anyway so I was pretty happy about that. I’m already thinking about all the beaches and the ladies they got in that area.”
Alabi (6-5, 270) has no connections or ties to South Florida. That means his perception of Miami is based more off of image than substance.
“Coach Franklin told me it’s a beautiful place that I need to visit and see for myself,” Alabi said. “I don’t have family around there and I don’t know anybody who lived near Miami. I’ve definitely heard about their football program but I can’t say I know too much more than that.”
Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, N.C. State, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, and Wisconsin have also offered Alabi. He has seen his in-state schools many times, Ohio State and Tennessee twice, and Illinois and Wisconsin once.
“I’m definitely going to Wisconsin this weekend and I think we’ll be in Miami the following weekend,” Alabi said. “It’s still early though, I’m not too sure what I’m going to do. It (a commitment) might happen tomorrow, it could be signing day, who knows.”
Alabi noted that location and playing time really aren’t concerns of his heading to the next level. He did mention a few factors he is more conscious of.
“Education, the environment, and whatever school fits me the best,” Alabi said. “The curriculum I want to be involved with is mechanical or chemical engineering. I heard it can be extremely difficult for football players but for now, it’s what I like.”
On the field, Alabi is a versatile player who can operate almost anywhere on either side of the line. That aspect of his game goes back as long as he can remember.
“I can play defensive end or defensive tackle but I probably like being inside a little more,” Alabi said. “I feel more at the center of the action compared with being on the outside and doing contain. I’m our left tackle too and I think I’m pretty good at that. I’ve been at all three spots for so long that it feels normal now. It’s something my coaches expect from me at this point.”
Alabi carries a grade of 87 from 247Sports, ranking him as the 67th best offensive tackle in the nation and 5th overall in the state of Michigan.
