Recruits: I haven't had many people sending me film lately. A few can attest, if I see something I really like, I not only RT it but they also get interest from schools afterwards. Are you guys all offered up or just not hungry anymore? Let me know because I'm always working.

RECRUITS: I got 500 DM's with film last week but less than 10 kids followed up when I hadn't responded. Is this how easy you give up? It's going to take me a while to watch all that film. But I watched the film of the guys who followed right away.I know it meant something to them

Gerald Willis says
#Canes
DL can be “better than last year” and the new coach is teaching “new” things that Kool didn’t and overall has a positive feeling about prospects of the D.
Miami is getting a special player in Chris Humphrey. I was very impressed by what I saw last night. Smooth runner with legit track speed.
#TurnONTheTape
Patke is the brains of the UM defense, as I've been told by sources close to the program. Shouldn't see much difference. Banda is a great coach and has amazing relationships with players. This was a no-brainer move. Also, Banda would likely have had to take pay cut to go to Owls.
Woke up ready to watch the 200 tapes I received yesterday. I will find someone the world needs to know. 2023 I'm focused especially on the late bloomers. Let's go!
Richt has to be given an A for handling such a difficult transition a week away from signing day. You keep two bright young coaches in house and promote a recruiting darling (what appears to be in Simpson) and great position coach. All get promotions and classy send off for Diaz.
NARRATIVE SWITCH: Tim Harris Jr. is an excellent offensive coach! Won a HS National Championship. UCF RB Bowser was benched at my Alma mater Northwestern and he made him into a draft prospect. Yes he'll recruit well but the

Manny Diaz is a good football coach and a very nice person. He just wasn't the right coach to lead Miami back to Championship level expectations. He said when he was hired at his opening presser that there would be "no hometown discounts." That turned out to be incredibly true.

Speaking of David Cooney, former Offensive analyst for the

His entire family (Dad's side) is from Miami and he considered playing here during the Covid pandemic because of

I say this as delicately as I possibly can from a place of trying to educate: High School Football student athletes, just because you have a highlight on Hudl doesn’t mean you are a recruitable prospect. Good film, grades, measurables, test scores, & character are also required.
Recruits: Pay close attention to the remarks of your future head coaches and ADs or the lack thereof regarding this moment in time. These are the people with whom you are placing a significant amount of trust in with regard to your future.

I got a question? Is anyone trying to play a game for film, compete at a high level and slide with me to a few colleges to check them out personally and network with coaches and build relationships?

Watching film and inviting student athletes to our National High School Showcases. Some just want to post they “got invited”. I really want the HUNGRY kids who are invited & who make plans by asking their parents to invest in them, register, and get them there.

FINAL:
#Canes
17-9 over Virginia. A solid defensive effort for the Canes with enough offense to close the door on a nationally ranked team. A message from coach

walking off the field to the “real ones” (faithful fans).

4 & 5 ⭐️athletes don’t mind coming to the

Attention Recruits: There are few things more frustrating than getting a highlight link to your
