Oh, and thanks to all who have contributed in these threads- especially Money.
The way we should be recruiting is identifying all the Miami kids first and foremost, then using the Miami kid as a tiebreaker for other evaluations on out of the area kids.
Not because S. Florida is just better, but because this is how you cultivate a culture of kids staying home for the U.
You don't start it with simply snagging an area legend- we've seen that isn't going to be enough. You start it from the bottom up. Building a relationship with all area schools that make these kids grow up looking at that U on their helmet since middle school.
Golden tried the mercenary route and I never liked it. If I were a coach I'd never even know what stars a kid had. I'd tune that all out and recruit the traits I'm looking for. Rank kids on my evaluations. And I'd play the game until they got on campus and I rocked their world with intensity and competition. Open practices fellas.
