Why did Miami just a year ago have him as their #1 priority ?
At one point, didn't Miami have Shemar Kirk* Stewart as #1 "get him or we nevah byke" priority?

How did that work for aTm?

*Kudos to @CANESCANES for keeping me straight

I'll say this, if the staff believes that Stone can be that dude at DT, you pay whatever to secure him. Elite QB and DT play is 1A, 1B in becoming a top tier program in CFB. If Scott and Stone hit, with the right QB we will seriously be cooking.
 
I’d even trim that list down further in order to keep the guys on our roster we want to hold onto.

At an absolute minimum, get Stone or Watson at DT, then get a WR and a Safety. That’s 3 guys. 3 impact guys who can help us while holding onto enough cash to keep the guys we need to keep.

Anything more than a DT, S and WR is luxury.
Exactly even with just going hard after those 3 guys we should be in great shape money wise so no excuse

You got the names mixed up, Shemar Kirk was the bum WR we had

Shemar Stewart, but he’s still projected to be a 1st round pick?

You listen to every recruit, and all they talk about is getting to the league, so even if he was underwhelming, that’s still something to sell to recruits that “we put guys in the league”

Also TAMU has done horrendous job on development with all their players
 
Imagine is Alabama ran off 5 star Jihaad Campbell after this freshman yearView attachment 323423

1. Stone took the pay cut after the season ended.

2. A week ago Venebales said Stone was the most improved DL this spring

3. Justin Scott and Stone played the same amount of snaps, and same production in their freshman years

4. Stone is rated the #1 DL, #10 overall player in the winter and spring portal

5. I’ve seen plenty of “Freshman All American” regress the following year and not do a **** thing the rest of their careers too
Im not saying you don’t take him.
Im saying I prefer the guy that has proven it from Syracuse.

Lots of "ifs" for Year 4 of your elite coaching staff..... in the ACC

Well Jumbo Cristofisher was at least smart enough to win a natty with his stud QB...

Listen, you'll get no argument out of me. I personally believe Mario has been a failure thus far. The end of last season really did it for me. And this sure as **** is not an elite staff. Well, at least it wasn't remotely close to that years 1-3. Let's see how they fair this year.

Mario has to WIN, not just make the ACCG this year. And of course make the playoffs. Anything less in year 4 is a complete and utter failure.

if they think this current roster is good enough, then it’ll be another let down

We are on the same page. I was too quick to the draw and errantly mistook your post for that of another poster with my sharpness. Mea culpa.
 
Miami needs to make a try for Stone. He is a long-term investment for multiple seasons, probably two, as he could be an early NFL entrant.

CFB is a business, players are getting paid, and the players should understand this.

Brace yourself emotionally.
