The Decline of South Florida

I actually agree with both of yall lol @Memnon @gogeta4

I think memnon is just adding balance on the opposite side of the sfla homer pov so it comes off as “hate”, gogeta is saying hs football wise mfs waited to get loud this year.

Me personally i don’t think the homers opinion should hold any weight in real conversations, i think any logical person who can form their own opinion knows national recruiting has always been the key..Should be common sense

Georgia & Texas have enough talent to literally never leave their State for a single player in any class, but yet they both recruit Nationally.

That's pretty much the end of the discussion as far as I'm concerned.
 
Lmao. Love all the yokels in here basically saying all Canes fans should always support S FL kids and football and acknowledge their greatness at all times yet these same people will trash UM as quick as possible. Gotta love it.

I think that howard state of miami **** is ingrained in some of our fans brain..Also they saw years of losing the elites so they think keeping them home just guarantees success for us when in reality we fell off because we relied on sfla too much

Thats basically his only job too as far as I can see. Whereas some of those guys have other duties and/or have been at schools for 30 years. Like the guy from Dublin was AD and is basically at retirement age.

You guys want to know a secret? Our best teams have always recruited nationally. We only got stuck in this “local recruiting only” mess because the costs involved with recruiting nationally got out of hand and our athletic department didn’t want to spend money on flying back and forth across the country dozens of times. You know why we ignored other areas of the country? Because we didn’t want to spend the money required to recruit there. That’s where the whole “south Florida three stars” argument came from. Have some under the radar local kids slipped through the cracks? Yeah of course but it’s not as likely these days with recruiting services and scouting at an all time high. We’re not going to pull a ton of hidden gems out of Dade county like you could in 1993. Everyone knows about these guys now. We can’t just rely on getting local guys who somehow got ignored by Alabama and Ohio State

The Black population has drastically decreased in Miami-Dade.

It's too expensive to live here and many families are relocating to Tennessee, NC, Texas, and Georgia where the cost of living is more manageable, and it's no coincidence those schools are beginning to reap the benefits of the demographic shift.

USC has been facing a similar dilemma in LA County.

Mario, very wisely, has expanded the recruiting map for this reason among other things.

It's very accurate. SoFL has received lots of incoming people from the northeast and many tri county folk are moving to Port St Lucie, Melbourne, Ft Pierce, and the Tampa/Orlando area. And some, albeit smaller numbers, have left to Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas too. And it's reflecting no doubt in high school football.

THIS
 
Well I know Savannah has exploded in the just 6 years I have been here. We got so lucky and got a house just before the market skyrocketed. But my taxes have went from about 3400 to 5500 in 2 years. So Savannah/Pooler/Richmond Hill is going to start to become to much for many families as well. **** we are starting to think about SC in a few years.

The only problem FULLY to this argument is.........

THE SAME SCHOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN GOOD IN FOOTBALL MY WHOLE LIFE ...30+ YEARS.......

ARE THE SAME SCHOOLS IN MIAMI DADE THAT REMAIN GOOD.

Of course some families have relocated from south florida....hence you have the Travis Hunters (boynton- Atlanta area) CJ Baxter (BOYNTON-Orlando)

But there also have been some moving in to the area...kind of balancing it out a bit.

Miami central may have 4 or 5 Rhode Island kids on roster, kid from mobile. MiamI Edison has had some LA kids the last 2 or 3 years

The canadians have been coming down to play for awhile and most of them end up div 1 guys. (Orlando Franklin, etc)

They have even have my country Bahamian athletes come over ...a bunch of em was on Norlands team last year hat went to states.

I really think its Palm Beach County that has been laggin and seeing the population issue occur. The 561 use to have a fair share of elite talents coming out of the much to the north in riviera beach and almost yearly we dont even check the area for elite talents on this board
