Guest BasketBull. Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 This is what I like to read! GO BULLS!"My brother called me and told me he'd disown me if I sent his nephew to Miami now," said the mother of one of the Hurricanes' top defensive targets who wished to remain anonymous. "It's still his choice, but I doubt Miami will get past the family." "I am not comfortable sending my son into that environment," said another parent of a top Miami target on the condition of anonymity. "The program seems to have lost control and it's going to take quite a turnaround to fix things." Sporting News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it, but Miami will truly be signing only thugs (I hate that word when describing student athletes) next year as kids of true character will be looking elsewhere now. That's just going to make a bad situation worse. Donna S. needs a reality check if she thinks 1 game suspensions are appropriate for people over the age of 18 that broke the law in front of TV cameras.

FIU stepped up and punished accordingly ... UM did not. AND then defended it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Miami hires a new coach to replace Coker, he will act like a strong disciplinarian and the parents fears will go away. I still can't imagine anyone other than Butch Davis getting the job. He cleaned up the program once, and hasn't gotten old in the meantime. If he takes over, they will probably have a net gain in recruiting over what Coker would have done.
