The roster, the NCAA, the impact...

[bomb]

I counted 8 scholarship seniors on the current roster, if you exclude walk-ons, former walk-ons, JC kids, and kids who transferred in. 8 total Sr. kids that we recruited out of HS.

This is where someone says no excuses, completely disregarding logic and sensibility.

You win in college football at the highest level with either elite players/mediocre coaching, elite coaching/ mediocre players or elite coaching and elite players. We have neither of those ! All we have is a guy who is elite in handling the media

8 guys and where are the rest of the guys he recruited? Bang up job by Golden.

Bro, why can't we see your rep anymore bro?

Wait, so other schools don't utilize JuCo ranks or transfers? Why does it matter if we recruited them out of high school or not?

Cuz Bomb says so. You better have some deep pockets if you plan on coming at him like that again Ridler

Honestly, the fewer seniors you have the better.

The elite guys aren't hanging around 4 years. If you hope to contend, you need the elite guys. Which means most of those guys are leaving school as juniors. If you have a lot of seniors on your squad, you haven't recruited well.

The talent on this team is good enough to win the coastal. Who disagrees?

I'm not saying that Juco's or transfers have no value or anything. But they are kind of like a pro team trying to fix their draft mistakes via free agency. You best odds are identifying, recruiting, signing, and developing talent out of HS so they have the time to adjust, live inside the playbook, learn, and develop. I'm certainly happy we have Gunter right now, and O'Donnell last year.

Recruiting is not just high school seniors anymore. With juco, senior transfers, prep, high school, and other transfers you can contend in two years with the right players. We are only missing great QB play from contending with a healthy duke.

Way too simplistic. Miami doesn't have a dearth of senior talent because we lost them all to the draft.

2010 and 2011 were train wrecks on the recruiting front. There is enough talent in the junior and sophomore classes to win the division though with some key seniors contributing.

It's interesting to me how high our attrition rate is compared to schools like Stanford. Okay, not "like" Stanford, but Stanford in particular.

From 2010 through 2013 Stanford signed 75 kids. During the same period we signed 101. Why is that so?

I'm not saying build your team through the JuCo ranks. You should accent your recruiting with JuCos or key free agents.

After FSU, we have arguably the most talented roster in the ACC. No excuse for us to not win the coastal! We have an inexperienced QB yes but we return one of the top RBs in college football and an explosive WR core to help make his job easier whoever he should be. Defense has upgraded in talent and now has depth! No excuses.

That's interesting. Stanford is an outlier though. Just to get into Stanford as an athlete, you have to be a serious student. Not necessarity as accomplished as a normal Stanford undergrad, but you have to have your **** together. So less Stanford kids are going to fail out, punk out, etc. They also aren't going to have a lot of kids transfer or leave early because of the value of a Stanford degree.

Great stat. Says a lot about Stanford, but not much about Miami IMO, because 101 is not a lot in D1.

Totally agree. But having 8 scholarship seniors out of say an average class size of 24 or so means you're not "accenting" the class with Jucos, etc. It means you're ****ed and are filling your two deep with transfers, Jucos, and kids who should be backups still.
