Yeah. Trust me, I want the superstar talent here but it’s nice to know that Likens has a history of finding guys who might have been under the radar who turned out to be great players.

I was going to mention this. Look at the All American teams too. There’s a couple big name guys but most of the receivers are lower level P5 guys and G5 guys. Is it nice to be able to sign the surefire, no doubt superstar kid? Yeah. Do you need to? Clearly not. First team AP All American...

You’re more than welcome to start donating to the bag campaign when I become AD. Just keep it quiet. The ncaa won’t ignore Miami like they do other places.

Look, it's easy to say "just get the kids that Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson are getting". Yeah no ****. Unfortunately the real world doesn't work that way unless some of you guys have a lot of MCDonald's bags full of cash sitting around. That's why evaluations of the next tier of kids is so...

I like Huff because he's got the size speed combination you want with some experience playing linebacker at STA. He wasn't just lining up at DE and rushing the passer every down. Why he's having so much trouble getting on the field so far? No idea.

Flagg is going to be limited by his athleticism but I'd take him over a guy like Sam Brooks who's a better athlete but has no idea how to play off the ball linebacker. Obviously there's an athletic range that any D1 kid has to be in to be successful no matter how smart he is. You can't be out...

After seeing the guys we rolled out to return punts last year, anybody would be an improvement.

Yup. Berrios had the fastest shuttle time of his class. People forget his sparq rating was off the charts.

He ran a 4.00 20 yard shuttle as a high school senior. That would have been the second fastest shuttle at the 2020 NFL combine.

It's similar to the discussion we've been having with linebacker recently. Would it be great if we could sign a bunch of 6'3" 240 guys who run 4.5? Sure but those types aren't exactly common. So you look for traits that aren't measurable and focus your evaluations on that. Maybe a guy is shorter...

Also, how the **** had Mike Harley never been a full time punt/kick returner in four years? I feel like he’s perfect for the job.

Agreed on both fronts. With the basis of most college offenses revolving around getting guys in space, the shifty punt returner types are a no brainer. But toughness and the ability to beat man and press man coverage should be considered a premium skill. It’s far more important than 40 time. The...
