Almost everybody that can come back should be back next year…

I think mensah gave everything he had but i struggle to see teams not questioning his arm strength alot. And idk if his processing is good enough to overcome it

I love Mensah, IMHO, Mensah is a first-second round talent, but I don’t think he has elite arm strength. Elite arm strength alone will not keep him out of the first round. Tua is a great example. However, Mensah did seem to underthrow Jacobs against Pitt on an deep shot (but Jacobs Mossed the defender to make the catch) and this week against ND Mensah underthrew Jacobs on what could have been another touchdown, and Mensah also slightly underthrew Cooper Barkate last week on a deep shot.

I saw a few instances where I thought Wingo or Jacobs beat their man deep but Mensah didn’t throw it. I am not sure if it’s a trust issue or an arm strength issue. But Mensah needs to show that he can consistently make more accurate deep throws in order to be considered a top 5 pick
 
Did people “‘memory hole” D’Eriq King? I know he was from the Diaz regime but it’s strange he is never mentioned. Was the proof of concept that a transfer QB could have success at Miami.

Agreed - I like Mensah but I think there are still enough question marks that he’s not going to be a top 10 pick. Not easy to turn down late first round , early 2nd round money. If we win the title, he should go to the NFL as I don’t think another season will move the needle much. Can’t have a much better season than that . If we don’t win the title, he might make a lot more money by coming back and winning the Heisman and a national title, and moving into the top 10 of the draft.

he wasn’t really able to show all his potential this season because the OL isn’t what he expected.

Wilson can play another year if he wants. The other’s can’t. Barkate and Fletcher could also play another year.

Unless Wilson is hurt or dealing with something behind the scenes - hate to say it because by all accounts he is a great guy- but pass. Im sure the ROI is not where it should be.

Mensah desperately needs another year. With a good o line to really show off his abilities

Will that happen? Probably not and can’t blame him one bit

We’re going to need to have a decision cemented by the portal period.

Either we pay him something absurd to come back or we need to go buy out Austin Simmons for probably similar money

Not sure Mensah improved his draft status in this game.

There is a scarcity of first round caliber QB’s and Mensah showed a lot of resiliency almost leading the complete comeback last night.

If anything, last night helped Mensah’s draft stock.

I’m not really sure Mensah did much wrong last night. Had little time in the pocket and receivers didn’t get open.

Maybe but id say tua had more velocity on his intermediate throws, mensah is a great touch passer but teams will want to see more aggressiveness and arm strength

Did we have completely different people lead the portal.this year versus the year before? The hit rate was way, way different

There was no spring portal where Miami cleaned up last time. This year was only one window which is right in the middle of the playoff run. Makes things much more challenging. I’ll give the staff a break this time as they were in route to try and win a national championship
