Miami lands QB Cam Ward after weeks of pursuit

Jan 13, 2024

The Cam Ward sweepstakes appears to finally be over in a result that is quite shocking after weeks of pursuit — Miami has their quarterback for the 2024 season.

After Miami hosted Ward in early December for a visit, things were trending in the Canes’ favor to land him over the likes of Florida State and the NFL Draft. Ultimately, Ward announced a decision to enter the draft two weeks ago, but never signed with an NFL agent. Despite his announcement and a commitment from Albany QB Reese Poffenbarger, Miami’s staff quietly and persistently pursued Ward over the last two weeks. And the end result is Ward pulling his name out of draft talks and enrolling at Miami this week.

The Miami quarterback room now has Ward, Poffenbarger, Jacurri Brown, Emory Williams, and incoming freshman Judd Anderson.

Wait hold up, where are the roster spot and limited visits jokes some of ya'll been insufferably telling in every thread for the past two weeks

IM CONFUSED

It's more tolerable when we get good news and people want to argue? Funny trying to have it both ways while the Miami fans celebrate yall enjoy bickering.

Go get a WR1

Who would you want?
CJ Daniels probably top guy, with Bond after him as far as who is uncommitted. Well technically CJ committed to LSU today...

Technically don't think Matthew Golden is enrolled yet at Texas. And I'm pretty sure we were on him hard when he entered. Doesn't seem likely though. I also assume Stewart hasn't enrolled yet. Juice Wells and Deion Burks too... (this opposed to some portal guys who have actually already confirmed enrolled like Colbie Young at UGA).

Maybe theres a guy or two that haven't entered yet too?

yeah

that's what the playoff is now, 12 teams

but I think even with 4 teams. ward is better than milroe, McCarthy, and ewers... it's the rest of the team + coaching that is what really elevated those teams

That's fair.

When it comes to recruiting and Mario. I’ll wait to the very end before giving my opinion. Mario has done a excellent job this class.

It’s just comical at this joint . Again, I have my sources, and you have yours. What I said about him looking for agents is 100% factual

100% factual just like Declaring for the draft makes him ineligible to return to college.........................
