If you got dropped off blindfolded in the Panhandle with no idea where you were, you’d never guess Florida, or basically anywhere that wasn’t coastal south of Orange County, and that’s being generous.

dont think people get that Northwest Florida is far different than anything Orlando South. hes actually more at home and closer to it in starkville w culture, people, and food

 

[PGrady24]

Because if you do, you might end up with a Top 5 pass defense and eight four-star DBs on the roster.

That doesn't excuse the staff from consistently missing on DB targets, even depth guys like Emerson. No more Dee Delaney's or Jhavonte Dean's, we never have enough depth because we can't close. Can't argue that.

 

[Captain Uberpants]

Still only Thursday, plenty of time for the pendulum to swing on some guys.

With that said, another joke of a #watchthefinish.

 

[Odysseus]

Missing on Emerson would be embarrassing af.

Never, not one time, should Miami ever lose a recruit to Mississippi State. Miami might lose two in this cycle.

Shameful if it happens.

Man this low 3 star should have never been recruited to be honest

Question: if Miami and the region by default gets you 4star caliber DB’s, what’s the major problem with Banda and Rumph? Their coaching is not the issue. Their recruiting leaves room to be desired? Of course it does. But they’ve done their job developing.

Another question, if you were to fire Rumph and/or Banda. Who do you hire that would do such a monumentally better job? Let me guess. Corey Raymond? Mel tucker? I legit want to hear some names. I’m not being a smartass, I just want to hear the fix since there is such a major problem.

Gun to your head if you have the option whether to hire a good recruiter/average coach or a good developmental coach/average recruiter in the secondary at UM, give me the coach. We saw what a trash DB coach was here under Golden, and now we see the difference with two quality DB coaches the last 3 seasons. Again I’m not being a smartass, but those with the torches and pitchforks who would y’all hire for a secondary coach realistically?

If we can land Phillips, Hill, Washington, and Williams, mixed with the Portal pick ups, I will call this a very successful recruiting season, especially considering where CMR left us.

beyond successful if you include Portal guys. We will only have a top 35 class with "recruits" but with Portal guys we easily have a top 10 class. Richt left us in a horrible position where nothing Diaz could do would help MUCH in HS recruits for 19 so he did the right thing and loaded up on transfers.

I hear this whole education blah blah far too often around UM sites. You’re delusional if you think it is seriously relevant to most recruits. You’re talking about a pool of kids who wouldn’t be qualified to get admitted to most of the schools they go to, and who don’t take serious classes while enrolled, and can’t, anyhow, given the demands of FB. They get a college degree and that matters in life. But the amount of times folks yap about UM education like kids are going to study marine biology highlights a real logic gap. Any kid who is enough of a student to worry about relative educational quality ain’t going to MS ST irrespective of UM. But he probably aint going to UM, either. Maybe Duke, or Stanford, or Cal, or Northwestern, or GT, or ND.

Also, the value of a degree is a different matter from the value of an education. UM is a small private school. It’s alumni network is also small as a result. If you’re from Pensacola, you likely encounter more MS ST grads than UM grads in life. UM’s name on a degree just isn’t worth as much as UM alumni fancy it to be. And once you get past the name, you’re at ‘what major did you take’ and from there, the reality is most P5 football players are similarly limited in their course of study.

I agree about MST, especially if you check all the civil service depts in small rural towns there’s a ton of those grads. But don’t sell UM short on grads. We offer an excellent education in areas other than undergrad. Med, Law, Architecture, Music and more. There’s a *** load of Alumni out in the world most making a very good living and paying back to the U. Not too shabby for a small privat school

So jealous Auburn hired Cadillac Williams. How many more recruiting failures until we bring in the Cane greats?

 

[RVACane]

Facts

Oh now you're using that "Facts" thing like @Dwinstitles and @OriginalGatorHater too???

Facts: Eating well done steak is like eating shoe leather.

When one of them actually gets into coaching like Cadillac did. So far the only greats have been Mike Rumph and Earl little.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Oh yeah he is being recruited purely as a striker true

So Patke is the liable one here. That makes 3 guys on the defensive side of the ball who can’t recruit

This is our depth chart at DB next year, with stars in parentheses:

CB: Bandy (4), Ivey (4), Blades (4), Frierson (4), Couch (4), Bethel (3)
S: Hall (4), Bolden (4), Carter (3), K. Smith (4)

I expect some growing pains because of inexperience. But I also expect quick improvement and quality production since we've seen that for three years with this staff. Combine that with the talent, and we should end up with an excellent DB group.

If these guys don't develop, or don't have what it takes, Rumph and Banda will deserve the criticism. But their track record to this point is player development and four-star recruits. As a result, DB is the least of my concerns.

 

[TallyCane]

Manny should've let go either one of rumph/ banda now when it wouldn't have effected recruiting. Also baez im tired of him tweeting the weather recruits don't care about the weather.

 

[Bird4um]

PAC kids? I thought they don't play defense out west?

Agree.

We will need a HUGE class at CB next year though

Oh trust me I know. My Grandpa was from Southwest Alabama, so naturally I have a lot of family in the Panhandle. That place feels different from the rest of the state(even the rest of North Florida). A kid has to really love this U(i.e., Finley) too join us.

Whereabouts in Southwest Alabama? My grandma was from a town called "Florala". Yeah. Flor....Ala. lmao
