So someone just has to be IN the portal by today right? And it may not even show up for 2 days? Is that correct?

Yes, but nowadays I don’t think it is possible to keep it secret with agents at work.

Hence why today we will know what options they will have.

We also have no choice but to be aggressive in the portal at QB because we don't pay top dollar for talented HS QBs. They landed one. We didn't.

Again, any **** we want to say about the QB spot is warranted but we're also by far the most talent team in the ACC next year no matter who is at the helm. I still think they'll figure something out and still feel good about Damon Wilson. People speak in these absolutes like they know what we look like next year. I promise you no one thought we were winning a Natty this year.

Yes, & we’ve been extra aggressive trying to get one, unfortunately we locked in on the guys at the top of the portal n struck out, that should clearly tell you they aren’t satisfied with what’s currently in the room, let’s see what happens

I mean I get what you are saying. But we definitely don’t want waste a year with average QB play and winning 9 games.

No one is speaking in absolutes — they’re just pointing out the simple reality that any talent advantage we have gets neutralized if we’re starting an average or below‑average QB. Anyone who watches football knows that QB is by far the most important position.

To put it in perspective, I’d guess we have maybe a 10% chance of winning 10 games with Emory at QB. If we had landed a true quality replacement for Beck, that number is probably closer to 75%.

You’ll see it reflected in the Vegas win‑total line. If Emory is the starter, my guess is they set the over/under at 8 regular season wins.

I really doubt Emory is going to be the starter

To add to this, I was listening to Todd McShay's podcast this morning. He had Todd Blackledge and Bear Fallica as guests. Blackledge talked about Cignetti's staff; their continuity and familiarity with both offense and defense and game prep is huge. It's very underrated as a factor in their favor. The offensive and defensive coordinators have been together for years....

Blackledge also talked about how Cignetti brought in a dedicated QB coach this season - Chandler Whitmer from the NFL (Chargers) who works with Mendoza every day. He talked about how invaluable this has been in Mendoza's development......

I have said it previously on other threads - Miami needs to seriously think about doing this, too. Dawson is not a developer; he's an OC/playcaller. It's why Cam and Beck have worked out so well. They came in after years of "developing' elsewhere. If Coleman is who they believe he can be, they need to make the investment in position. (I'm sure it's not about $$)

Man, I cannot even properly express how strongly I agree with this. Nickel and Coleman both absokuteky have legitimate potential to be good, but Dawson is NOT a developer. It should be a no-brainer to bring in an experienced, proven guy to be strictly a QB coach.

Personally feel this is the only hole in our coaching staff right now, and as we're currently witnessing, hoping to land a top portal QB every season is not sustainable whatsoever. We have everything a potential QB *should* want to come here, and still nothing. At some point you have to develop somebody.
