So guys, whats the verdict on the Canes 2007 recruiting class?
UM recruiting
- Thread starter RiderOnTheStorm
- Start date
Early lists have Miami at 22nd
They're not counting Kayne Farquharson or Chris Perry. Chris sent in his LOI wrong, he just needs to redo it. His situation could be resolved as early as today. Kayne signed his LOI in December and he just needs to take a couple of classes at Miami Dade to get in. He'll enroll in the summer.

I think UM did great considering the situation they were in with a coaching change and such. The real shocker was FSU who needed two players real late just to make it in the top 40 classes. wow
Miami is #9, I'm not sure what Motion means by us being #22

The Canes were regarded in the late-teens/early-20s coming into signing day, but Randy Shannon closed deals like he was Mariano Rivera, Gordon Gekko and Alec Baldwin's character from Glengarry Glen Ross all rolled into one.
PHENOMENAL job by Shannon to get the Canes into the top 10. Hell, I was happy with the #16 ranking the Canes had from ESPN at the start of the day.
alright, we have a great 1-2 combo at RB now with Jarvious James and Lee Chambers. we will make some serious noise with those 2. and Allen Bailey is going to be a star

espn is the only site not having the gators at #1 in recruiting this season. also, they have the canes alot higher than the other two major sites (rivals and scout) i trust the word of the specialist. still a good class for UM despite the problems theys started with.
and scout.com has them at #13, however you look at it. Miami had a good class
Where did I say they didn't? :confused:
I never said you did :tongue:

The discrepancy is largely in the quality/quantity debate. The more emphasis a ranking service placed on quality, the higher the Canes scored. If you sort the Rivals.com list by average star ranking, the Canes were 11th. But the fact that they landed 17 recruits, where most other top 25 schools were in the mid-20s, knocked them down some spots with the ranking services that put more emphasis on quantity.
Similarly, ESPN had USC ranked #1 with their small, but star-studded class. Other services put Florida #1 with a larger class that had a bit less quality, but more depth.
