Reality is why would a top defensive prospect want to play for Miami currently? What have we demonstrated in terms of recently putting people in the NFL, player development, winning and etc. Top kids wants to play for top programs. Manny needs to show these kids that he will be able to develop them at a high level and prepare them for the NFL. This needs to be shown through strength and conditioning, quality of teammates, competitiveness of practices, nutrition program, and etc.
If I am a top defensive player with NFL aspirations, I know I am going to get all these things at Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, and etc. Plus, if I am a top db, Nick Saban will coach me.
Manny pitch needs to be not lets restore the U, but here is our plan to put you in the NFL (plus you will play for championships).
About to have 3 more DBs drafted this year. About to have Willis go in the 1st or 2nd round.
