There will be transfers coming in that USU will benefit from as well. Keep an eye on some of these Miami transfers... Banda did recruit some of them. There's one announced today that wouldn't surprise me if we have been in contact with him.
U of M has been a trainwreck in recent years. They are losing the recruiting battle in Florida to FSU, UF, and now UCF. I don't think being originally recruited by U of M is a status symbol or validation of being bona fide.
Their current recruiting class i higher than all those other schools.

They have both the #2 and #6 OVERALL players in the entire country.

My point being that we shouldn't rush to flip their current players just because they bear the 'U of M' stamp.
You can’t really make that point by criticizing their recruiting classes though.

I’d rather sign those Miami guys than guys who have zero offers out of high school.

And with the way they recruit, I’d take any that wanted to come and ask questions later.

I'm not criticizing their recruiting classes. I'm pointing out that for the most part, they have been a bad football team over the past decade and we shouldn't rush out to grab those players just because they are 'U of M' recruits.

Now, if we can poach one of Cristobal's recruits down the road, that's a different story.
Miami doesn’t suck because they don’t have talent though.

Right now, they are a below average ACC team with average ACC-type talent. They aren't loaded with talent like the U of M teams of old. Hence, we shouldn't just go grab their players simply because U of M recruited them. That's all I'm saying.
Agree completely. Minimal talent on that roster right now.

That’s definitely why they suck honestly. The good football players aren’t athletes and the athletes aren’t good football players with few exceptions. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t have anyone drafted off this roster.
Well, let’s put it this way, 247 has them the 13th most talented team in the country.

That’s true but they’re horribly (and sadly as a canes fan) wrong. They have other issues but they’re an average ACC team in talent and the draft last year this year and likely next will show that pretty clearly

This makes me think the coaching staff played a hand in helping him find a home. Anderson loves himself some Sam Houston. Good for Gentry, I'm a big fan!

It couldn't possibly be that Gentry was a high school star in Houston.

I'm bummed about losing JG, but I can't say that I blame him.
Seemed like a great kid and I wish him all the best.

Gentry was injured during the first of the year (August practices, and OOC games) and its really difficult when you've never been a starter to make a difference after the season started. Personally, I would have loved to have seen USU use him as a wideout/slot receiver kind of guy like Vaughn. He definitely had the speed for that. But just wasn't durable or physical enough, IMHO, as a running back.

Hope he does well at SHSU.
