I would love for the board to have more polls on an array of subjects pertaining to all things the team. Sometimes it’s difficult to pin down whether a large about of posters believe something or if it’s just a select few that then it’s ran as board wide opinion.

Landing one of if not the most talented player to come through here in a decade plus does count for something.

9 wins and we will absolutely clean up with Mario at the helm. I’m hesitant af about 9 wins. I honestly thought we were a 8-9 win team last year and it all went to **** real real quick. I think Dawson will help a ton on offense but I don’t think he is some savant. He is a solid OC who is light...

I hope so… if can get through this year showing promise that allows us to turn the corner with another elite class. At that point the overwhelming talent would get us winning consistently and we can start stacking even more classes. I just believe this year is very pivotal.

Nah, your right...

Lets be real, this **** goes way deeper than an assistant. Its kids being weary until Miami shows that it isnt a lower tier program. Its painful to say but thats what we have become, and us getting our **** together in the last 12-18 months isnt going to undo that. We need to show improvement...

So now you are trying to steer the convo in yet another direction. How am I railing on Mario here? Show me the post where I say we are not doing well in the portal this cycle? You are the one that keeps twisting everything I say. So because I said the portal isn’t HS recruiting that somehow...

The question is irrelevant to the discussion. The discussion is Miami portal vs HS. You are trying to steer the conversation in a different direction. As of this moment I don’t have us as a top 10 class for reasons explained.

You gave me incomplete data and you admitted it yourself. Or you going to hang your hat on submitting average player data? You have Miami ranked 3rd in your portal rankings citing that average and roster retention. You yourself stated that you didnt have the hard numbers there but Mario...

The one glaring positive during MC's tenure early has been getting top tier talent that we either never or very rarely got with previous staffs. Mario took double digit guys that everyone in the country wanted and were priorities last cycle. That's my counter to the notion that the portal is...

Stop with that condescending swipes about people not being able to comprehend and being too lazy to discern the difference between the two, they are weak and unfounded especially if those swipes are aimed at me. As I have maintained from the jump and many agree, the portal is supplemental...

A healthy Harrell would be awesome.

Lichtenstein is a tweeter and just too weak to be used outside of obvious passing situations which even then he is meh at best.

I believe that HS recruiting has been superior to portal recruiting. We have landed some nice pieces but not to the equivalent weight as the 23 HS cycle. Also, we missed on an outside WR in that class which we needed bad, but we got talented slot guys in Ray Ray and Robbie. DT wise, Horton is...

Care to expound on WR? I know Kirk visited, how does the staff feel about him? Ive mentioned as have others its hard to get a feel on a JUCO kid's talent, appears we did well there last year with Young. Is there someone else?

So to be clear, you think portal recruiting has gone as well as HS recruiting?

That's where we disagree strongly. We have a quality AND a quantity issue at DT. We have 6 guys at the position right now. 1 has basically been written off as a bad eval and not good enough to play P5 ball in Gore, and another in Horton who isnt even on campus and counting on true freshman is...

My statement was facing the reality that it’s really late in the process and that striking out completely isn’t an option and we are staring down the barrel of just getting a JAG which is better than nothing.

Would love Rose but at this point we are in a position where we need a body, doesn’t matter if it’s a JAG

Like I said, portal Mario isn’t HS recruiting Mario. People got mad the results speak for themselves. Now that’s not saying Portal Mario is trash, we got some good talent there but he have had some major misses and glaring holes not addressed for whatever reason.
