My comment was more in response to
@Maskoff407's (wild to me), "I’d rather Florida talent come to Miami
or stay in state" because he's "a Florida guy" comment. No to that. I am not a Florida guy (I'm not even sure what that looks like). I am a South Florida, tri-county area (Dade/Broward/Monroe) guy. Most of the rest of the state -- especially from a college football standpoint -- can **** all the way off. If a Florida kid offered by UM isn't going to sign with Miami, I'd rather he not play for any rivals, ACC schools, or SEC schools.
As far as Mario's recruiting footprint, the "State of Miami" should include most of the country's football hotspots. That includes portions of California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, the DMV, NJ, and of course Florida. If we are going to compete nationally, we need to go and get that nationwide talent.
