This is the worst I have ever seen and I became a fan as a kid watching Charlie Ward and Warrick Dunn. Unfortunately Mike Norvell is in a very tough spot. He is a good recruiter but doesn’t have a brinks truck behind him which is a lot of the problem. We got outbid for a few transfers that he wanted in the offseason (Cam Ward, LaJohntay Wester, Damian Martinez, Caullin Lacy, JaCorey Brooks, Marks the RB at USC, as well as a LB that transferred from S. Carolina that is starting for Florida). Also getting swindled and blindsided on signing day doesn’t help(Travis Hunter, Keldric Faulk, KJ Bolden, Armando Blount). Not to mention the Amarious Mims deal which took us out of the first week of spring transfer recruiting and put a scarlet letter on Atkins
Florida and Miami are throwing money everywhere. We don’t have their money unfortunately. Also a lot of Florida kids are leaving the state because they aren’t really Florida kids anymore. They didn’t grow up rooting for the big 3. Also a ton of Miami’s blue chip guys are also legacy guys
I will say part of the recruiting issue the last couple years is money. Miami is outspending us 3 to 1
Shannon, Dugans, Atkins, and maybe Fuller have got to go. Maybe turn Thomsen into the OL coach. He was doing that at Texas Tech before he was here
