The Miami Hurricanes were once a proud program that was always in the National Title discussion. Those days are long gone as the program has won 10 games or more just one time since 2003.
However, the program is feeling damn good after Francis Mauigoa, a five-star offensive lineman out of Bradenton, Florida, announced his commitment to The U.
Mauigoa has committed to Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes football program. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound monster chose Miami over other notable programs like Southern Cal, Alabama, and Tennessee.
“It’s all about The U.”

The program was so excited that they decided to use a graphic to make the announcement.

It did not bode over well as fans began to roast them over the graphic that showed a half-empty stadium in the background.
Meanwhile, Miami’s NIL machine trumps a commitment graphic showing Miami’s sparse attendance. https://t.co/v7CMZ1MFGk

Pretty hilarious they couldn’t even pull together a graphic that makes the stadium look full. Come to Miami! You can play in a less than half full NFL stadium with teal seats super far away from campus. Oh and 6 million cheating dollars. We’re Miami and we cheat super hard! https://t.co/AggZBlfyg8
