2026 Portal QBs

[DMoney]

If he was anywhere other than Miami and was brought up as an option the overwhelming response on this board would’ve been against the idea.

The opposite is true. The same people called Mendoza “Cuban Emory.”

Still wish and hope we can bring CJ Bailey home.

 

[Caniac16]

Brutal.

D, I know we're still going all-in for Simpson. But are we comfortable riding with Emory if that doesn't transpire? Or are the coaches going to have other backup plans ready?

We need motion with Tavien St. Clair or Longstreet. How long will this go and be a distraction

 

[CanesFan20]

If Simpson is not an option I would honestly take Lagway if we can't pull a rabbit out of a hat. He at least has high end physical traits and can make all the throws. He was also with Billy Napier who is just a terrible OC and got fired for a reason. If we give him a good OL, running game and weapons I think we could make it work. I honestly would trust him way more than Emory.

We've done this two years in a row and ended up with great QBs both times. Not worried.

 

[MiamiInvestor]

This story is confirmed true by Arizona state mods.....not sure why some of you guys wanted this guy

Since HS if we are being honest

Yep, he was better in hs than any he qb we have recruited. Aside from possibly Coleman, who just doesn’t have the size right now. The staff obviously has zero faith in Nickel, or any qb on the roster currently or they wouldn’t be shopping around.

We very well could end up with Simpson. But the last two years was kind of luck with who we got. Can’t do this every single year.

Right.
People keep pretending like it a genius script that is repeatable each year.

Not to mention the Beck situation was unique with his injury situation.

I hear you on that, but what’s the explanation then for Bailey still being a mid ACC program? Did teams like Miami, LSU, Tennessee, etc. inquire and he decided not to hop in or was there no interest from higher level programs? In your example, IU plucked Mendoza.

That's also, and it always has been, my point.

We need to tamper earlier and better, there's no reason why we can't do what Texas Tech and Indiana did this year.

Mendoza attributes his improvement to his QB coach at Indiana who helped transform him into an elite QB

It is high time we hired an elite QB whisperer and developed our in house QBs... we buy Porches and have Jiffy Lube mechanics for tune-ups and maintenance..

Bring in Longstreet and let him compete. If it’s true nickel ain’t close to Emory then who cares about his feelings

 

[HarborCane]

I wish Nickel did enough to convince the coaches but it seems like he is still not ready. He wanted to be a Hurricane from the start and never wavered. It would be great not to go through this circus for several years

 

[valid]

#1 overall draft pick, playing for a natty, millions of dollars? nope! I prefer to play at a program in decline for that quitter who's known to walk out on his players whenever it benefits him.

Frick that kid and his brother

Nickel is a less impressive Harrison Bailey. Nickel is not the guy

Read LSU still trying to sign Longstreet, even after signing the Leavitt and the Elon kid.

He would be crazy to backup instead of a cleat path to start here.

I mean that's all you need to know about the kid. We dodged a bullet plain and simple. Gimme Emory let's ride
