The annual over-emphasis on the de-commitments from the Miami football program does not tell the entire story.
A recent story from 247Sports examined schools that have lost commited players by using the star system to assign which college football programs have suffered the most losses in their recruiting classes. The Miami football program with the de-commits mostly coming from South Florida explain the exodus.
When Manny Diaz was hired to replace Mark Richt as the head coach of the Miami football program he instituted a new policy that once players commit to the Hurricanes they cannot take visits elsewhere.
