**Why Miami fans.....**

[No_Fly_Zone]

Chevy chase hasn’t been funny since Christmas vacation.

Journey hasn't done **** since the 80s either. But that doesn't stop drunk college kids from singing Don't Stop Believin' at The Tavern (Or make it any less fun).

Once we were off probation, who didn't Butch get that he wanted in south Florida?

And in the first few years of the Coker era (when he still had some of Butch's players), who didn't he get?

Miami is a team that should always be in the hunt for the championship just based off of the talent in the area alone.

Not interested in apologist's rants.

Get the players and get it done.

Are so blind to what has been happening here for decades?? Miami will not get every stud that was born and raised in Miami and SoFla.. I don't care how much some fans whine and cry about certain coaches and their recruiting ties, Miami will never get every stud RECRUIT that was born and raised in Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Liberty City and etc..

AND it's time for Miami fans to realize that!! Being a Miami fan and after being connected to these different Miami Hurricanes recruiting websites for years, this isn't anything NEW.. Honestly we can start a thread about the hometown SoFla recruit's that have left Miami for other schools over the decades, it happen even in the days where Miami was the bad boys of CFB!! The bottom line is every year Miami just has to recruit and get the best they can get.. AND with CMR it's starting to look that way, even thou our Canes are missing on a few home run hitters in the process!!

Sweet, I assume you’ll be fronting the bag money then . Can I put you down for an even 200K??

For some of these fans, we would need to start printing our own bills to front those bags for the players some of these fans expect Miami to sign every year!!

Some of these fans don't see the narrative into recruiting.. Some of these highly touted recruits from FL don't want to play with other highly touted recruits from FL, especially the ones they been competing and fighting with since they were toddlers (it's an eagle thing), "well IF he's going to Miami with him and him, I not going there because I don't want to play with this one or that one", some of these recruits don't like each other, some of these recruits aren't really friends no matter what some might think!! Some of these kid's compete against each other for so long, they just grow not to like each other.. THIS IS ALL KIND OF THINGS THAT PLAYS A PART WHEN SOME OF THESE ELITE RECRUITS GO INTO MAKING A DECISION, then on top of that you have college coaches using that as recruiting tools too "hey man, why would you want to go to Miami, they already have 4 really good DBs signed their already, when you can come to my school and only be signed with one or two others and be the future for us" or "I heard you and so and so didn't really get alone in high school, why would you sign at Miami IF he's signing their, you can come to my school and make your own name here"... IT'S A LOT THAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES, but ppl on here think it's easy for a coach like Rumph to go in a kid's house and say "hey man you know I coached you, just come play for me" How many other ppl coached this same kid, that might be telling him to go elsewhere?? IT'S ALL ABOUT NARRATIVES WITH THIS RECRUITING!!

Miami- out of the top 40 recruits in the state they signed 9 (and in that top 40 Miami signed the most of any school)
UGA- out of the top 20 recruits in the state they signed 6
Bama- out of the top 20 recruits in the state they signed 1 (Auburn signed 6)
USC- out of the top 40 recruits in the state they signed 7 (UCLA signed 5)
Texas- out of the top 15 recruits in the state they signed 10 (Texas A&M signed 1)

All this stat here is showing for me is that, just because a player is a highly touted recruit from your state or back yard doesn't mean he will sign with that respected school!! IT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN HERE AT MIAMI.. NOW of course their will be someone that looks more into to it and make a statement, BUT the fact of the matter is SIMPLE (just because a elite recruit is from your state or hometown doesn't guarantee you, that he will sign)...

AND THIS ALSO, is here to show the clowns on here that doesn't think Miami is recruiting STUDS, they need to go back and look again!! YES Miami is getting some of the best the state has to offer, MAYBE not every one BUT our Canes are definitely getting their share and this hasn't been the case in years here..

Here comes more loser talk.

"Miami can't land every stud!"

No? Ok how about one or two? It's been two cycles now that it appears we'll be striking out looking at CB and failing to sign a bonafide stud. Is that ok to ask for amongst the loser sect of the fan base? Can little old Miami at least land one elite shutdown corner?

This attitude is disgusting.

No, he's right. Schnellenberger used to say almost the exact same thing. He erected the wall that defined the State of Miami, but he also was truthful in saying we could never keep them all at home. I remember when Lorenzo White was quoted as he left the OB at the end of our first NC game that he might reconsider and go to Miami. Well, he ended up going to Michigan State where he led college football in rushing yards. Howard acknowledged that it was not possible to keep every single blue-chip home. He was realistic. Sorry, but it's always been that way sometimes the truth is not pleasant. We can only hope to won as many of the battles as possible. We've never kept every kid home.

EDIT: We are getting studs. Maybe not the two from AH but we're still getting studs (and the AH thing is not over.). And don't think we were built on marquee players. We got a few here and there but the marquee guys were not the core of our great teams. We recruited players with huge upside an a burning desire to work hard, get better all the time and win.

Believe me, I know the history and how our coaches used to think in the'80's. Look at the final 247 from the 247 website, I think it is. Alabama's not just recruiting five stars. They're evaluating well and taking the players that project well for them. Sure, they'll get their share of five stars, but not entirely. Evaluation, good selection, coaching and development will be key to their continuing success.

And We won at least one more NC with the kids from that '84 class and Lorenzo White was not among them. He won the rushing title at MSU but didn't play on a NC team.

I agreed with you all up in til the Bama talk.. Don't get me wrong, they get talent no doubt BUT some of their talent is overrated!! How does these player's dominate so much in college and then get to the league and disappear?? System player's for most of them, Saban just has a system that is dominating CFB.. And I hate that a recruit might be a high 3 star maybe low 4 star recruit then commits to Bama and then he goes up the ranks just cause next to his name it say --Alabama commit!! Jobe was never that high as a UM commit, I remember at one time he dropped in the rankings then all of a sudden he signed with Bama and he goes up the rankings and HE GOT BOMBED IN THE ALL-AMERICAN GAME!! BUT of course Miami's only 5 star commit gets bumped down, no reason for that--BUT ok Nesta got his up bump..
