Compared to BC, Rutgers and even Ped State?

And yes the extra curricular activities and weather are very nice. I also think Da U will be back soon, too much talent in Dade not to be.

They've never lacked talent at Da U and yet they've been irrelevant for over a decade and the number of players they put into the league isn't even close to what it used to be.

It's about coaching, player development and most importantly- attitude and unfortunately I think there's a lot of toxic attitudes around that program.

Worst of all, I don't think they have the support system and infastructure to find and keep a coach good enough and that cares enough to put up with all the garbage long enough to turn it around.

That said, it's not a bad choice for a guy like Njoku, but he better have a lot of personal drive and discipline if he doesn't want to get lost in the wash down there.

Agreed. I have a buddy that's a Miami fan. And listening to him is like listening to ND fans before last year, live completely in the past now. And yes, Dade county has a lot of talent, but its not the 80s or 90s and kids realise there are much better programs with better facilities and staff. Miami thinks spending $14m to upgrade facilities is something, OSU spent half that last year upgrading our scoreboard and seating alone and they spent that on their athletic center. The internet, camps, technology in general have allowed to kids to want to travel. The south florida kids no longer think an offer from the U is so special. And many grew up fans of urban Meyer, tim Tebow, Percy harvin which works for us. But with south florida kids traveling to schools throughout the nation(heck, Purdue has a number of south FL kids) they open it up to younger kids from their HS to look in that similar direction, look at schools like west Virginia, Louisville, north Carolina and a number of mid level D1 schools who have scored some talent from dade and broward county

I'm hearing from the Miami fans that the Cedar Grove coach is a little butt hurt over Urban pulling his offer and not allowing him to visit. And is supposedly barring OSU from the HS.
