Wait are y’all actually asking us to take a cleared eye view of our past recruiting history, and compare it with those program’s history and success? And then extrapolate that info to wonder why we are still struggling to keep up with the Big Boys?? Really, that’s just GD blasphemy I tell ya.
Miami should be aggressively recruiting nationally period
You seem to be stuck and inflexible with the ‘winning matters in recruiting’ as it only pertains to an upward trajectory. Winning does in fact matter. What do you think our recruiting looks like in year 3 if we are 6-4 and Mario is being looked at as a lame duck? Show me these examples of coaches that didn’t win that kept recruiting at high levels? I bet there maybe a couple but eventually thier time runs out as well.
Absolutely. But my point is that we have an advantage recruiting in the tri-county area as opposed to leaving the state. And in a year where talent seems somewhat down locally, that may make recruiting slightly more challenging.
Neither is high school recruiting
This literally never works. I am not saying you shouldn't pick your spots nationally, but recruiting nationally as a primary strategy is a recipe for disaster.
I was talking about the availability of those players even going in the portal. But yes to your point being a 5* out of HS isn’t a sure thing in most instances.
Texas.
Im just saying if he misses while the on field production is on an upward trajectory then what was the issue? If his first two classes are better during bad seasons it would prove it doesn’t mean a thing. Then when someone points out LSU is *** but DJ rather go there, then again what is it? Cause we have a better record, that means it’s about NIL/relationship to a coach. It’s always been that $$$ and relationships. It will never change.
I love it here.
There is that rigidity again. You are trying to make it a mutually exclusive thing when it’s anything but that. You say winning doesn’t matter and this example doesn’t prove that at all. Winning matters, NIL, the overall state of the program, the relationships with the HC and position coach matters, the relationship with the players matters as well and here is the one you seem to forget that is huge in this recruitment, the pedigree of the positional coach matters.
It is part of it but its one of the lowest factors IMO, where there are things way above it that people dont emphasize as much. They say winning to build up an excuse as to why we didnt land someone for later so they can blame that specific thing. Its almost like a cope IMO. Florida is horrendous the state of their program is cheeks yet they going to land some high rated guys, but overall their class is **** obviously. But elite HS players are going to play for them (doesn't mean they will be elite in college though)
Haven’t you though? This is exactly the response to every loss in the last 23 years. Literally every single loss has meant our coaches suck, our talent isn’t good enough, and at least half the time, the players aren’t trying hard enough. Go back and read what people posted after the Pitt loss in 2017, I’d bet it sounds a lot like what they’re posting today.
