I think people are confusing the term "Locking down state of Miami". That doesnt mean get any and every kid locally (I.E., Ryan Mayes, Ricardo Williams. Kendall Thompkins types. There are alot more to speak of)...Those caliber of kids wont help us get back to upper echolen of college football. Locking down means locking down the BEST talent. Keeping kids like Hykeem Williams home. And getting on future 5* kids like TJ Capers, Jeremiah Smith, JoJo Trader and even Armando Blount EARLY so that they want to stay home. Thats locking down the "State of Miami".
Ohio State when Jim Tressel was there LOCKED DOWN that entire state. Any kid that was a 4-5* that Tressel wanted..forget about it. Dont even waste your time. They were going to Ohio State. Fred Davis is probably the only 5* kid that I can think of that left Ohio during that time. (went to USC and flamed out)
Thats what I want Mario to do. (or try. You wont get all of them) Get to the point where teams dont even waste resources. Just dont even put up a fight. If there is a high 4* or 5* kid in Dade, Broward or PB county and Mario wants him? Hes going to Miami. Done and done.
