Miami literally has guys(Life Wallet Sports Reporters) who are associated (they have with Life Wallet(their NIL platform that’s getting investigated for being a supposed Ponzi scheme) writing fluff pieces about their recruiting efforts.
I noticed this all the way back in May also.
However, these guys are trying to push the latest agenda below to try and get some sort of traction after missing on nearly every top target they had in this recruiting cycle.

I’ll leave it at this and then moving on to the season.

The problem with this graphic is Mario Cristobal didn’t recruit those five high school players. Former Miami coach Manny Diaz signed those players in the 2019 and 2021 recruiting classes.
That’s no different than Mike Norvell taking Johnny Wilson from Arizona State, where he had little to no production because of injuries, and turning him into a household name in ONE year.
The same with Trey Benson and others. If you want to talk about how to impact high school recruiting, that’s how you do it because there’s proof of player development. FSU had SIX players on the ESPN top 100 list(most in the country), and Miami had one.
