Each team in the NFL gets to bring 30 players in for pre-draft visits, along with a separate cattle call workout for any local prospects. For some teams, that’s more valuable than for others. The Dolphins are bringing more name recognition in to their local player workout today, since South Florida is such a hotbed of talent for colleges. In addition to players from the University of Miami, Florida International and Florida Atlantic, the Dolphins get to bring in players who played their high school ball in the area. Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, that means they also get to invite Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson (Boynton Beach High), Georgia running back Sony Michel (Plantation American Heritage), and many others, since there are so many players there they scatter across the country’s top programs. It’s possibly a slight benefit to the Dolphins over teams who don’t have as much talent in their backyard, and gives them an opportunity to bring a few extra guys in for top 30 visits that live outside the area.
It would be interesting as hell to make that type of commitment, to really go above and beyond to sign players that had the U bloodlines..talk about a rocking stadium.. We need some of that turnover chain culture..
Without question they are...riding the wave right now.. It’s wicked cool to be a cane again, recruiting should be a breeze in today’s culture.. They just need to land that big time qb prospect.
This should have been our strategy a long time ago. Canes players are already acclimated to the south florida life and know how to handle it. You get these out of town kids and they come here to get eaten up by all the lights and the nightlife.
It's not even a Canes thing really though... South Fl is such a hot bed of good talent that apparently we can interview/workout for free and they never end up on our team.... we got lamar miller and vernon then let them go after rookie contracts were up (with the money vernon wanted vs skill i'm okay with that one)... Ironically i think lamar miller is 100% the RB style Gase uses.
