Rumor Keontra Is Not in the Portal

[Sigma_Cane_7]

Think he’d do well at Louisville. Nothing but love for the kid.

 

[Samoan Souljah]

Still waiting on the other jags to hit the portal. Especially the come get your kids one

Them boys really took a 190 pound DB, fattened him up, put him next to a fat/slow/small LB then moved a LB to DE, had to be the smallest front 7 and they said yea lets go ahead and ball against Bama.. He shoulda bounced when they tried to sell him on that bs.. Good luck to him

i remember walking in to ATL to the stadium with my high school teammates.......watching warm ups and all of us looked at each other and said almost at the same time...."We small as f*ck" lol

It hit different because this same group of friends we would go to Um together on unofficial visits to games in those 2000-2002 years.

We knew we were in for a day lol

Keontra looked bad this year.....its not a scheme fit for him...needs to cut weight and go somewhere and play rover/striker....he should head to Utah State.

highschool was his ceiling.

You could say the same for James Williams and Avantae Williams too.

The only Safety who’s gotten better is Kinchens.

 

[cway313]

That weight he added this year was detrimental.

 

[Santana333]

It’s like JW0 needs keontra weight gain program and Keontra needed the JW0 weight lost plan…

Best of luck to the kid. He gave it his all. What a difference a couple of years make though. Two years ago we were all clamoring for him to start because he was such a talent upgrade at the position. Hopefully the old adage of the more things change the more they stay the same doesn’t apply here.

 

[JHallCanes]

Good news I was never impressed with his game… highschool was his ceiling.

We are a program full of Tripp McNeelys

Why not Missouri or duke?

I've been banging this drum since 2018.

Every time Miami stepped onto the field against a decent P5 team, they were so clearly undersized it wasn't even funny. Glad to see that the new staff is addressing the problem.

SIAP - Ferman says he expects Keontra Smith to portal out.

bit of a disappointment

Same thing happen. I was with 4 Bama friends I grew up with. Knew we were going to get our *** beat but we agreed to go to the game years earlier I couldn’t be a ***** and not go.

Sitting there during warmups my friend who played college QB said Miami is tiny and just started laughing. It was amazing to see in person. Tv doesn’t do it justice but at the actual game you realized Miami looked like a FCS school. Bama looked like nfl players all over the field. They bullied us all game long. Mario “knows what it looks like” and said it again this week that he wants to walk in the locker, meetings and field and see dudes. We
Don’t have that right now

Forgot to include every school, too.

not really are Player development over lat 20 years has been awful........

[ScubaCane]

Always thought he'd turn into a player, to me it looked like he put on too much weight which impacted his speed.

Agree with you there, and also, the transfer portal is filled with kids with unrealized "upside". At the end of the day, from new coach hires, to recruiting, it's all a crap shoot.

Yeah, well, Golden & Richt said the same thing, and they failed. And until we get the dudes in here, it's time to start developing the kids that we do have, do some common sense **** like putting them in the right schemes, and stop making excuses.
