Stars

Chase Young #8 overall player out of HS. #2 NFL pick. Catalyst of the best defense in the country.

Jeff Okudah #7 overall player out of HS. #3 NFL pick. Co-catalyst of the best defense in the country.

Yes, Miami is still getting kids to the league. Yes, the coaching here absolutely blows.

But you wanna win and win big? Consistently? You need kids like that. Period. Yes, bags. Yes, $EC. Yes, south Florida divas. Yes, college towns. I don’t care. If you get those kids, you can win big. If you don’t, you can’t. So if those excuses I listed above prevent miami from getting the Okudah’s and Young’s of the world, then we need to reset our expectations for this program.

And don’t come at me with Joe Burrow. Sure, he wasn’t a Top 10 kid. But QBs are incredibly difficult to evaluate. Much more of a crapshoot.

Yeah it’s a mix. Justin Herbert, Isiah Simmons, Becton wasn’t highly rated.

But yes signing more 5 stars give you “more room for error” as even if they don’t star you usually get something out of them.

26 out of the 32 picks tonight were 4 or 5 star kids.

More of the same. Our problem is simple. We can't keep enough SoFl players home. Us, the gates and fsu having a problems keeping kids in state.

I'm not hating, but when these schools WIN SHIPS player's are rewarded... Cause I'm more than sure IF LSU doesn't WIN da Natty, all these player's don't get drafted so early, just my thoughts!! It seems like every year the Natty Winners always have the most player's drafted..

They were a great team/won a championship BECAUSE the kids are great and are high NFL picks. This really isn’t hard. Yes, coaching is very important. But the teams with a ton of NFL talent are usually pretty **** good. The ones who don’t have NFL talent usually stink. This isn’t complicated.

Instead of worrying about stars Miami should be worrying about developing players first... Once they start developing guys consistently which will directly correlate with winning, we will be in on some of these high 4 star and 5 star guys. You think Clemson and Dabo just started getting 5 stars out if no where?

It's a lack of development. That's it. How are these G5 schools and lower P5 schools having multiple players drafted before Miami? Miami should be a top 25 team every year with the talent they have. Not even a question about it.
