Go look at they recruiting budget, then ours..
batting 33% on those types is not good enough, we were lucky to keep Rousseau home, he had SEC offers
Nope, but it **** sure has helped Bama/UGA/Clemson/Ohio St be in the mix for a NC every year while we are going 6-7 and getting butt-****ed by teams like FIU, Duke, LT. Hence my point.....
I would love to see that list, you have it? Ours should be low considering how local the talent is. That list of recruits with "Miami Interest" is a joke, no matter the budget. That is undeniable.
Of course it’s not but you’re also essentially asking them to find the needle in a haystack and then hide the needle. Only one of these “needles” went P5 and that’s only because St. Felix went to Dr. Michael Krop.
Rousseau was not really a needle, him and Arnette both went P5?
Yes he was. He was a massive project and most projected him at TE but we saw DE. The absolute definition of a needle.
Another bs about us not developing. We literally took a guy who no one could figure out where he should play and now he’s a potential early first rounder.
He had offers from LSU/UGA/USC/Oregon and plenty more big boys, hardly an unknown recruit. Everyone saw the potential in a HS athlete of that size.
Just pray he does not regress like so may "potential" NFL draftees have here
Would it help? Would we have more games if the Elite Blue Chip kids stayed in SoFla instead of going to SEC schools and playing for national titles??
His entire draft projection is based of potential. Half of his sacks were because of his motor and he’s nowhere near a finished product. The only way he regresses is if he all of the sudden becomes lazy.
But Its not due to us neglecting to recruit these kids. We all agree we have to do a better job on the field to make improvements. But at the same time truss we stilll wouldn’t be able to keep all the big fish home..we need to give these kids bigger kids in$entives to stay home..and yes someone posted on Twitter like month ago if I recall..the budgets are outrageous
How many Maimi players draft stock has fallen off before the draft they actually leave? The list is long my man, and quite consistent the past decade.
I agree, that is my entire premise of this thread. We need a staff that can win the games we should AND keep some of these blue chips home. They are not exclusive.
