For the very small percentage of people who argue that coaching and not talent was our biggest problem this year ........ guess how many players we had drafted this year ?? I'll give you a hint .. it's equal to the number of Unicorns alive in the wild .
For all the Delusional folk....

Those 2013,2014, and 2015 recruiting classes are some of the worst I've ever seen for any team. On paper they were great(lots of 4 stars). Half of them transferred because they could play in the SEC. Incredibly low hit rate on those classes for sure. I believe our hit rate will be much higher with Muschamp considering he has to see nearly every recruit in person at camp before they get an offer (I believe 23 of 25 commits last class were in camp).
And the prize to the only SEC school to have nobody drafted so far goes to .......
Coastal had a player drafted , maybe we are backing the wrong horse !!!
Help us Elliott Fry Kenobi , you're our only hope

Seven. David Sharp (Oakland, 4th round, 129th overall) and Caleb Brantley (6th round, Cleveland, 185th overall) join Jarrad Davis (first round, 21st overall, Detroit), Marcus Maye (second round, 39th overall, New York Jets), Quincy Wilson (second round, 46th overall, Indianapolis), Teez Tabor (second round, 53rd overall, Detroit) and Alex Anzalone (third round, 76th overall.
Then we should judge Muschamp on past performance and I know it's no guarantee of future results, but it's a start from 2015...
Also means he has a 6 year rebuilding job ahead of him...
We definitely have to cycle through these previous classes completely.
Guess which SEC team started the most FRESHMEN last year? Last I checked freshmen were not eligible for the NFL draft... Just saying..

If the 40 times at our Pro Day didn't tell you something, I'm not sure what would.
Overall, the players recruited in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 classes were horrendous. We had so many busts that inevitably led the program into the abyss. On paper, they looked like world beaters but none of them materialized on the field. Still appalled at the staggering number of busts along with the questionable talent evaluation & development that were in place? Highly difficult for any program to be a contender when it suffers 3 straight recruiting class bombs!!!
Not at all . If I hire a brick mason to fly a Commerial Airliner I can't get mad when the plane crashes I'm the dummy that hired them .
Said it at the end of 13, that we would struggle in 14 and everyone laughed. The loss of a few key assistants killed the program. Be patient it will take a few more seasons. I would be shocked if we are ever a top ten team again in my lifetime. It's just how it is here.
Yep, replaced several coaches who were considered some of the best in their fields with some who should at best be HS coaches...in fact one was...and he may have been the best of the bunch.
It's amazing that Miami churns out talent to the NFL but have nothing to show for it with results in college. That could all change under Mark Richt but they have to be one of the most underachieving teams ever to lace up the cleats.
Looking at the ESPN 300 players that Miami signed in 2017 and those verbally committed for 2018, you can sense that there is a major "Hurricane" brewing in Coral Gables, FL. It won't be long until the Miami of old will reappear on the national scene as a major contender once again. Both Clemson and Florida State better be ready for the downpour!
Mark Richt is doing what every Miami coach should do and that is recruit at an incredibly high level.
Miami has always recruited at a high level. They just haven't shown it on the field. I think Mark Richt changes that.
What's surprising to me is that Georgia only has one on that list with all of the 4 and 5 star recruits they usually get every year.
Take the good and the bad with Spurrier. He did good things, but you knew it couldn't end well. Never does with a legend on his last leg.
