Miami fan here
Losing Mcain as a player hurts, he’s a 5 star CB and probably the best Cb from Florida since Pat Surtain. Would’ve helped us tremendously from Day 1, both from playing time but also optics for the program
But on the other hand, the reason the U has fallen to trash is because we’ve been recruiting the wrong types of guys, our team culture has been trash. No pride, no grind and no fight in this team for probably the last decade. We’ve made a habit of recruiting diva type players who have high recruiting rankings but don’t grind and end up mediocre. So honestly, a dude like Cormani as talented as he is, is probably not the type of guy who’d be a good locker room fit for what Mario is trying to build.
It is what it is. That’s why you don’t see Miami fans going crazy the way FSU fans did over losing Hunter. We saw this coming and we realized the benefits might not be worth the trade offs.
