Men's BB sweet 16
Women's BB just beat number 1 seed Indiana
Baseball ranked in top 20
American football team are the off season ACC recruiting and pre-season champs.
Plus his tan and golf game are better than ever. Wanted to ask how we let that guy get away but it's clear he traded up and UM got the better end of the deal.

He didn't make any of the hires. Football either. They hired Crystal Ball before DRad.

NIL is making the difference in Miami.

everyone knew this would happen tho... Miami is easy to sell along with all the big money down there to pay their way. The big city teams will all become the elite in the next 10 years. texas, southern cal, miami, etc.

Is he transgender or does he play on the mens team.
Same coaches, most of the same players.
So tell us, what has he really done.

You misspelled John Ruiz. He's the guy spending millions a year on Miami NIL.
He's the guy that paid Nigel Pack 800k to transfer to Miami and Isaiah Wong more than that to not transfer out.

DRad has nothing to do with it. Good timed jump with NIL

now in play. He is a good opportunist, I’ll give him that.

Yeah. Let me be clear. I was no DRad fan. Aside from the capital improvements in football, I’m not sure I can point to much he did.

Two feathers in DRad’s cap while at Clemson.
1. Stayed out of Dabo’s way and as you mentioned supported him with the facilities
2. Launched a Softball program and hired John Rittman

It’s better than it was, but not what it could have been with a level for high dollar donor in boxes instead of taking up the side most visible on TV with those mostly empty gray seats. Also wish we could still see the benches from the main TV angles. I think he made the same mistake renovating McCamish at GT and then repeated it with LJ.
But apparently the player and coach areas are much better and that’s what matters for recruiting, so good on him for spending other folks money to get that done.

He had nothing to do with this his first year. They hired him to raise money and build facilities as they have their own insiders who decide who their coaches will be. If you want to talk D-Rad then blame him for never changing up Brad, for hiring Monte that left us with no talent in baseball, for setting ladies BB back by making a bad hire before finally bringing in Butler, for trying to do away with track/field bring in the feds on us that required us to add several other lady programs. He had nothing to do with hiring our successful coaches. He oversaw building facilities that were thought of and designed by somebody else. Why do we have so many idiots on this board?

I don't know if he deserves any credit for those results

but I can't really blame him for leaving, considering the massive raise that Miami offered him. He's making $2-3 million/year there with incentives. Clemson was paying him just over $800k/year.

Can’t blame him either. Miami not a bad place to spend your final days on the job. He is going to look like a genius because of timing of Nil by just looking the other way. Miami’s bad boys are back in town, sports programs will be moving up.
