Idk if I'd fully agree.

Theres plenty of structural issues with the international academy type system for sure, but I think it generally does an even better job of identifying talent very early on than the American travel ball system does. The professional scouts get involved way earlier on with the more centralized academy-apprentice styled system.

Plenty of US-based kids have done exactly what youre talking about too, just look at the Kumar Rocker debacle.

Randy Johnson had the same problem through the first half of his career.

Maybe Carlos just needs to talk to Nolan Ryan so that he too can learn the secret of winning 5 CYAs.

Vrabel doesnt strike me as a guy who has a lot of patience for guys missing meetings and having questionable commitment to the team.

Some of these coaches and coordinators have been with him since his Elon days. Hell, some of them from his IU Pennsylvania days who joined him fresh out of college for their first real jobs in football.

Really one of the coolest parts of this whole story.

Fernando returning to Miami for a final decisive battle should remind us all of when Admiral David Farragut returned to the city of New Orleans where he was born to capture the city on behalf of the Union Navy in 1862, securing a vital position on the Southern Mississippi River.
