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.

I’m here to eat crow. I truly thought Mario dropped the ball here and got us an FCS QB as a backup plan.

Why do I keep doubting this mf at recruiting….

this is awesome, but man....we gotta put it on the field this year. no excuses.

I’ve picked Canes to lose 4 games in 21 & 22.

No bull**** with the schedule we have next year, if they can stay healthy… 10 wins minimum with Ward. Canes are making the playoffs.

In '25, Poff will have an opportunity to play behind 2 potential first round OTs (Pancake and Francis) plus a potential all conference OG (Cooper) , and with a young core of legit WRs, TEs, and RBs.

That's better than an other offer he had and I really understated what our potential OL could look like.

Where else will he have an opportunity to play with legit talent and learn from another former FCS QB, who has made the leap that Poff hopes to himself.

Big props to Mario for getting Ward and stabilizing the QB room.

Mario has always been a very good recruiter. However, his gameday management skills and conservative nature on offense leaves much to be desired.

Quick question……do y’all think there’s any connection with all the Taulia positivity waiver talk and Ward committing out of nowhere ?

Is the Taulua stuff done now…? Assuming it is

Stewarts seems like he'd be possible still... Can't remember if it was you who said he could be a headache though.

The Transfer portal sub forum was better than this new change

Nah that wasn’t me. I agreed he’s headache but I don’t think he’s any worse than Jacoby George so I mean.. if we tolerate George why not tolerate super cool super misguided turbo max George

So we go from a busted QB room to a loaded one in less then a week. Y’all got to start trusting Mario with the off field side of things. Game day we can keep questioning. But this guy knows what he is doing with personnel.

Recruiting in this day and age is wild, that's for sure.

Let's hope the offensive coaching staff can learn how to game plan, prepare for a defense, call plays, and make successful changes in game.

Players don't matter if those things are as bad as they've been.
