Doubt that, if u not interested in Downs then u dont know how to look for safetiesIt was stated here pretty immediately that Miami was not interested.

So a high character kid?SO dude basically took the Loserville duffel bag and was planning on leaving anyway lol. Hilarious
Downs is likely the best safety in the country or top 5 as a sophomore, nobody had a chance to even make an offer.Doubt that, if u not interested in Downs then u dont know how to look for safeties
There was a thread created. Miami felt he wanted too much. (Allegedly)Doubt that, if u not interested in Downs then u dont know how to look for safeties
U give that kid whatever tf he wants, a safety at UM like that is part of UM cultureTheir was a thread created. Miami felt he wanted too much. (Allegedly)
And would make Guidry look even better. Not many blank check kids but he’s one.U give that kid whatever tf he wants, a safety at UM like that is part of UM culture
You think Ohio St didn’t give him whatever he wants AND a chance at a title?U give that kid whatever tf he wants, a safety at UM like that is part of UM culture
im hating and im jealousYou think Ohio St didn’t give him whatever he wants AND a chance at a title?

OSU basically buy a whole team on the first portal window. Nobody stand a chance.Why didn't we go after the other bama safety or Downs? If your going to go all in they should of. I didn't understand the Downs thing I know relationships but money cures relationships lol. Someone may have a better explanation for me cause I didn't understand that. At least we should of tried
I can agree and live with that decision. QB was priority #1 on the first window and now RB and WR.There was a thread created. Miami felt he wanted too much. (Allegedly)
@cway313 Dude… seriously did someone HURT or ABUSE you as a child?Gotcha so the reason we took a bunch of ****** players for 2 years was because of the IC rule. I hadn't even considered that. Spot on.
I want you to go **** yourself. Who budges first?@cway313 Dude… seriously did someone HURT or ABUSE you as a child?
I want you to converse with a specialist that will help you with your mental distress.
But their fans said they don’t pay, players just want to put on the silver helmetOSU basically buy a whole team on the first portal window. Nobody stand a chance.
AeeeyooI want you to go **** yourself. Who budges first?

You missed my point completely. Just look at the portal this cycle. There are thousands of players available in the portal, but there wasn't an abundance of top quality players available. There were a few. There will be even less next year because this is the last year of the Covid seniors.The idea that a HC must focus on HS recruiting versus portal recruiting is a false dichotomy. There is very little to actually prevent a HC from taking a full HS class AND a significant portal class. All a HC has to do is get to 85 by the fall camp, which isn't difficult if you are willing/able to process underperforming players. If the $$$ is there, the players will be, too.

The limited number of high quality players will dictate building the roster primarily from high school recruits where time is on your side rather than waiting the portal window to open and hoping an abundance of talent is there.
I didn't say not to use the portal. I said it should have its limits.
Schools like Colorado who are relying on a majority of their roster from the portal won't rise from mediocrity because they can't aquire enough top talent given 40+% of the roster needs to be filled from the portal. I don't think any school can aquire such a high rate of QUALITY talent from the portal. It's a simple supply and demand issue. There are too many schools after too few talented experienced players. You can find bodies to fill a roster as Colorado is doing, but they wouldn't be the quality that Miami is looking for to achieve championship level.
Lastly, 2024 is case and point for Miami. We wanted another DT to go with Barrow. We will likely not add another DT because the pool of remaining players with ability and experience is drying up. Similar for the DBs. Hypothetically, if Miami needed twice as many portal players this year than they brought in, you would have a watered down roster.
So, the supply and demand of the marketplace is going to determine how many quality players you can actually compete for in a given year. You can always find bodies, but the quality of players Miami wants won't be in abundance. There will be fewer moving forward because this is the last year of Covid seniors, which is a bigger deal than people realize.
Mario signed the #1 DL class for the 2024 cycle. He's not sitting around saying I'll just bypass high school and get the #1 DL room from the portal. That would be improbable to impossible.
There is the law of diminishing returns with the portal. The more your needs are, the less quality you will get as your needs fill up.
