Take your pick. Miami ranks high in both.

On the 53-man roster or practice squad? Everything I’m seeing says practice squad, but if he made the team go ahead and add him to Miami’s NFL list.

When was Kc McDermott on a 53?

Don’t know where you’re getting your numbers, but I’m relying on this tweet from the NFL which has us at 36.

Not one of those players is in the NFL, and nobody has mentioned them besides you. Let’s focus on the 36 players in the pros and the $577 million that professional GMs decided to pay them.

No word games. Just repeating what you said. Did you misspeak? We stack up high there, too, if you look at recruiting rankings. Other schools wanted our players. But we’re supposed to ignore recruiting rankings. And NFL numbers. And NFL salaries. The best measure of our talent is the opinion...

Explain it to me in basic math, since I’m struggling. You said we have more “non-NFL players” than other teams. But we have more NFL players than all but two teams. Do we just have larger rosters?

So we have more “non-NFL players” than the rest of the country, despite having the third-most NFL players in the country? Just trying to understand the math here.

Correct. We are blessed to root for a program that can consistently attract talent despite incompetence.

How do we compare to the rest of the country in “volume of non-nfl kids?”

Stats, unlike posters, take the rest of the nation into account. They exist outside a Canes bubble. Look at the company we are keeping on each of these lists. You constantly talk about lack of depth but ignore that our biggest strength is volume of NFL players. It's not just a couple of guys...

So other teams recruit less NFL players because they’re smarter?

Four players out of 36? And one of those guys (Frank Gore) makes peanuts.

Then why are other schools producing less NFL players, under your hypothesis?

That's why I used total salary, and not draft picks. It accounts for the second contract.

OK. Now do the rest of the nation. Posts like this are meaningless unless you compare us to everyone else. It's hard to make it to the NFL. That's why only two programs in the world have more current NFL players than Miami.

The last Butch draft was 2004, over fifteen years ago.

Because money talks. Once our players get to the NFL, they earn contracts from professional evaluators. No other school overperforms like Miami in the pros. The study below makes that clear. That tells me the problem is the program, not the player. We need to improve our talent until it is...

In other words, a kid who didn’t play to his talent in Miami. Which is exactly our problem. Saban wanted him out of high school. You think he’s a third rounder if he signed with Bama?

What study are you relying on for this relative “fact?” Is it just a guess? Or have you ran the numbers for the rest of the country? When you have 36 players in the pros, some will be marginal. Some will be impact starters. Some will be in between. That’s why it’s important to look at volume of...
