High school football stars don’t go to Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, and Georgia because the coach takes them on a yacht or they get to wear some massive piece of jewelry.
The best players in high school go to those school because they want to win and get to the NFL - a combination that sells far better than bling and broads.
Maybe in the late 90s and early 00s Miami could keep up because of hidden talent and the allure of being a star in a city like Miami. But those days are over. Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley, and Jerry Jeudy went to Alabama because Nick Saban and his coaches convinced them that he would be best suited to develop their skills to earn championships and get drafted. Simple as that.
Forget the glitz and glamour of yacht rides and jewelry on the sidelines. Miami can only become Miami again by playing the same game that the last handful of champions have played.
