every first class for every new coach at every school since the advent of the early signing period has gone this way. it's one of the real downsides of the new system. you have coaches and players entering into shotgun marriages after 2-4 week recruitments. as athletic out of state projects who...

for sure. Mario took Henry Parrish and started him for practically two years despite never recruiting any RB as small/slow as Henry Parrish. it is what it is. I'm just explaining that unlike some of our fans, the staff isn't deluding themselves into thinking that the RB room can't or shouldn't...

anyone who doesn't understand why Miami wants to be aggressive at RB in the portal should go listen to the newest Inside the U podcast where they judge each position group because Lake and Gaby explain at length that Miami's coaching staff views its RB room as not being at a championship level...

I don't disagree with this. I think my issue w/ Jacurri and Miami are: 1. Jacurri is an upside play and I think you can make a really strong argument that for 2024 certainty is more valuable to Miami than upside. in other words: avoiding a 6-6 or 7-5 season is more important than achieving an...

I'm curious how many people complaining about this evaluation are also people who were screaming for years that we need to hire Alonzo Highsmith because his GM level evaluations will provide this program with something that has been missing. are we off that now? I'm trying to get a temperature check

Here is a fact the coaching staff would never say publicly but is true anyway: not only do we not have a reliable starting QB on the roster, we don't even have a reliable *back up QB* on the roster. if any of Jacurri, Emory, Judd have to play multiple games next year in a back up role the season...

was Day being chased by any other school down the stretch? I don't mean that as a diss, I'm just curious. I don't think I heard his name come up once after his commitment, extremely quiet recruitment, not much movement in his ranking etc. it's interesting since he plays in Baton Rouge and not...

I was going to post exactly this. his acceleration is crazy, teams have consistently paid up in the draft for these kinda players. if you go back and look at Evan Stewart's high school tape, Carr looks more explosive to me.

yeah I think this is largely true except for the very elite teams and play callers. I think kids will be willing to wait around for Riley, Day (Ewers not withstanding), Sark has two major recruits waiting behind Ewers who will be willing to battle it out etc. UGA got Vandagriff to sit around for...

this is true to a certain degree, but their decision this year will impact the next few years one way or another. if they bring in Dante Moore or another multi year QB, you're 100% waving goodbye to Jacurri and potentially Emory too. a one year option gives you a better chance of keeping this...

Simple question here: who among us thinks any of these three guys have futures that are worth prioritizing as Miami evaluates its QB options? I heard David Lake say this week that Miami is likely looking for a 1 year "bridge" QB -- I find that a bit concerning. I understand the staff is...

I didn't see this post before I made mine (above) but it's worth keeping in mind that these shotgun classes in the early signing era are almost always a disaster. Bud Elliott has talked about this a lot. you have decisions on an entire recruiting class -- years of work -- being made in 4-6...

the Moss and Skinner commitments were nice recruiting wins in the moment, but the data on the very first classes new coaches have signed in the early signing era (with usually less than a few months to work) is very bad -- typically these classes do not stay together because kids are jumping...

i haven't read this whole thread so my apologies if I'm repeating points already made I think some of the defensive issues can be cleaned up as this group plays more -- I still think there is more defensive potential in this rotation than in previous years. the thing that really concerned me...

Pack was consistently getting past guys one on one in the second half and then making really poor decisions in terms of finishing the play. don't think it really means anything necessarily, just something that stood out to me. this team has more defensive potential than the past few teams, I...

NFL scouts know that TVD is physically talented. the question is whether he can go thru progressions, make the right reads etc. so if teams feel like this offense is making the mental part of the game very easy for him, it's going to depress his draft stock even if he has a great season. by NFL...

at least he got drafted in the first round go look at our incredible run of DB draft picks over the last 20 years. you will not find an extensive list of high picks and NFL superstars.

the play he got hurt on he came up tapping his helmet and went off the field. personally I took that to mean that he got his bell rung but he may have just been signaling that he was taking himself out.

Bama doesn't have high round picks at WR or RB imo
