2026 Portal QBs

This is why you go and get a Bailey on Day 1. You have your QB1 and you move on to portal players (when time allows) and focus on game prep.

Yet, here we are, during the lead up and game prep to a National Championship game having coaches, staff, etc having to worry about finding/securing a QB for 2026.

Just ******* bull****. Inexcusable!!!

Totally agree. The odds were that you weren’t going to get lucky three years in a row.

Their top qb targets did not go to a surprise school. You knew from jump that kid was locked to Texas tech. Levitt was going to be hard to get from Lane even though Lane almost messed it up by trying to steal that Washington qb.


However, I still don’t understand why CJ Bailey resigned so quickly. He’s lost a lot of talent.

From a business standpoint, he should’ve waited and he would’ve had so much leverage on Miami that he could’ve gotten an extra $500k at least because of desperation.

Did we really destroy this kid in our game that caused him to be eliminated as a possibility in the eyes of our coaches?

Would love to hear what happened after the window closes. Was he not interested or were we not? I hope this isn’t a Mendoza 2.0 although I don’t think he has the players and the coaches Mendoza has.

What's wrong is our QB portal strategy. We could have enticed many decent QBs with high upside (CJ Bailey, Austin Simmons, etc.), we were just arrogant and moved like molasses.

I really thought Bailey was the plan all along. It made too much sense. I bet if the staff prioritized him and back channeled our intent to bring him in for visit on day one of portal, he was would have signed with Miami.
