@simplycanes who's the angel in your avatar?

It's good. Moist.

Shaq and Pinckney? No. McCloud? Hmmm maybe.

I'm not so sure JT4 is our best WR. Most explosive player? Probably. But Osborn came here to fluck and Thomas is a month removed from knee surgery. Don't be surprised when Osborn, Pope, Payton are all playing as much as Thomas early on. Jordan and Mallory will cut into Thomas's english muffins...

To what guys?

Their departure was ill-timed but they wouldn't have been candidates for this experiment. Neither was ever a serious prospect.

The coaches are paid handsomely. It falls on them to make it about competition while doing whatever necessary to keep day 3 NFL draft juniors from leaving school early.

Agreed about the portal and that recruiting better will ultimately be what cures this, but the "NFL-U" culture of "get your 3 and flee" must be fought against. Do whatever it takes within reason is what I say.

It wouldn't be a policy. Our coaches would need to be tactful. For example, Jeff Thomas ended the spring on crutches after having knee surgery. Payton performed well in his place and is garnering his share of offseason hype. There's your built-in reason for keeping Thomas out of the starting...

Miami has dealt with this issue for far too long and it's time to employ some unorthodox tactics if we're ever going to compete with Clemson. Clemson's recipe for success is recruiting the right players and keeping them at school.

Whenever it's reasonable reward the non-juniors while keeping the juniors hungry, working hard, and asking themselves and everyone around them what they're doing wrong. If anything it would create more competition and send the message that your job is unsafe no matter who you are. Instill a...

In this scenario there wouldn't be any sacrificing of wins since our best players would play the same amount of snaps that they would otherwise. The only difference is keeping their names out of the "official" starting lineup.

For each of the players I named it won't really matter who starts since there's players rotating in and out at those positions. As stated above it wouldn't mean a reduction in playing time for our better players, just a slight adjustment that would keep them out of the announced starting...

YOU GOT ANY BETTER SUGGESTIONS?!

No, I don't.

As evidenced by another batch of Miami juniors taken on the final day of the 2019 NFL Draft, I'd be in favor of instituting a method for keeping our players around for 4 years. It would constitute a mild adjustment and it's quite simple: keep them out of the starting lineup by subtly allowing a...
