MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY
High school recruiting is quickly becoming obsolete/irrelevant …. Posted by MillieD
The risk reward just isn’t there to make financial sense. It just makes more sense for schools to save that money to pay for proven transfers that are less likely to fail. Miamis highest rated transfers over the last 10 years or so (rated 6.0 and higher) prove this theory.
Mark Walton – Hit
Sam Bruce – Miss
Jeff Thomas – Miss (Had great potential but was a cancer to the team)
Navaugh Donaldson – Hit (But nothing special)
Lorenzo Lingard – Miss
Brevin Jordan – Hit
Mark Pope – Miss
Al Blades Jr – Miss
DJ Scaif – Hit (But nothing special)
Avante Williams – Miss
Leonard Taylor – Hit (But nothing special)
James Williams – Hit (But nothing special)
Jake Garcia – Miss
Francis Maigoa – Hit
Samson Okunlola – Miss
Ruben Bain – Hit
As you can see from the list above, only 8 of these can’t miss prospects were hits and even most of the hits were nothing special. These prospects would have demanded HUGE NIL deals in todays game and that would have been a huge financial loss for Miami.
The way of the future will be to spend significantly less money on high school recruits in order to save that money for proven talent in the transfer portal. Even though those transfers will be more expensive your hit rate should be significantly better.
MIAMI HURRICANES QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I have 10 out of 10 confidence in Emory (Williams). He put his whole body on the line for us. That just shows the heart he has for us and the type of player he is, so I’m all in with Emory Williams.”
