So the “take it or leave it” Old Tomato didn’t work, eh? Where’s all the slurpers who were swearing that was a power negotiation move? Dummies.

The issue is we don’t have time anymore. We can’t sit around and wait because the portal closes Friday. We need to quickly move onto our next option, if there is one.

some quotes from barry jackson's latest article:

The fact Miami offered $6.5 million on a one-year deal, according to On3, was not remotely surprising, based on my conversations with multiple people who have dealt with Miami. Those people describe the Canes’ philosophy as doing whatever is necessary to land any QB they view as a genuine difference-maker.

A source close to former Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby, Miami’s top QB portal target, said the Canes offered just less than what they offered Simpson. Sorsby liked UM, but he liked more the idea of joining his girlfriend at Texas Tech.

UM also made a competitive offer for Arizona State’s Sam Leavitt, who reportedly took north of $5 million from LSU.

At some point, the Canes probably need to give a chance to a recruit (Emory Williams? Luke Nickel?) in part so high school prospects do not conclude that they will never get a chance here, and so that other schools don’t start using that against Miami in recruiting. That might end up happening by default next season. And it wouldn’t necessarily be a disaster.

With a loaded running back and receiver room and a strong offensive line that is adding the nation’s top offensive line recruit (Jackson Cantwell) to supplement Samson Okunlola and Michael McCoy and SJ Alifatuli, perhaps a game manager such as Williams would run the offensive competently.

UM is expected to pursue Colorado transfer Jordan Seaton, a former five-star offensive tackle.

247 Sports says the top remaining quarterback in the portal is Tennessee’s Jake Merklinger, who has thrown 23 passes in two seasons. The available QB with the most Power 4 experience is Beau Pribula, who has 20 TDs and 10 interceptions in two years at Penn State and one at Missouri.

So the Canes’ options to supplement Williams, Nickel, Judd Anderson and freshman Dereon Coleman are limited at this point. A veteran could be added but it won’t necessarily a sure-fire starter.

But there is one rabbit UM can pull out its hat: convincing a quarterback from another team to enter the portal before Friday’s 11:59 p.m. deadline. UM is exploring that option, CBS reported.
