Why on earth does this keep happening to the Miami football team like this? It goes without saying, but in-state recruiting is always going to be the top priority for head man Mario Cristobal and his staff, especially when it comes to highly-ranked playmakers.
That's why so many people are bummed that 5-star running back Derrek Cooper has spurned the Canes and others to play for Texas at the next level. On Sunday night, Cooper announced his pledge to the Longhorns, which was unfortunately expected.
This still is surprising, though, as Cooper only took one visit to Texas and it wasn't an official.
