Alonzo + Mario

[Bovert]

Wow! I’ve been a negative (but realistic) poster for a while. Have always questioned our talent.

Well - the tide is a turning. This is what it should look like fellas.

Go Canes!

 

[Hufftwoseven]

It was solid but also Miami of Ohio… we play a real team talent wise next week

I hear ya. BUT - we’ve been in a dogfight with those type of teams for a long time.

PLUS - this looks like a team that may finally have the goods. Talent level looks MUCH improved.

Favored by 16 and won by 35.

It’s one game, against an inferior opponent. But it’s a long time since we were favored by 16 and won by 35.

Yes. Solid. Doesn’t matter who they played, they looked like they were supposed to tonight. Compare it to Southern Miss and MTSU last year. It’s a different team.

Miami ohio is not FaMU this is against a division 1 football talent and we looked dominate on defense and this shows that they increased the talent and toughness and that’s what Miami has been missing! These players know they are better then the team across from them! Kudos to Mario and Alonzo

Agreed

We’ve absolutely failed to outperform the spread even against inferior competition

Especially when we lose the turnover and penalty battle

 

[Problem2]

I’m gonna give it a few more games, but there was a lot of porsters clowning Alonzo and his evals over the offseason….

 

[harphong]

My mopementum is severly blunted.

[SWFLSWAGG17]

I'm going to have to rethink my kids college fund. Normally I just bet against Miami and the financials take care of themselves.

It seems very in a different market now.

 

[caneworld]

They were the 20th ranked defense from last year.. returning 9 starters.
I think we did fine for game 1

Last year’s class was top 7. Those guys are ranked and good.

Colbie Young is the best eval of an unknown in the Mario era. Mauigoa Sr, Lee, Cohen, Mesidor… those weren’t unknowns.

If you’re talking about a bunch of these lower rated recruits we have in this 2024 class, it doesn’t change that we’ve whiffed thus far on multiple primary and secondary targets, save a few. We’re going to have to wait a few years to see how the Russell ‘s and Plazz’s turn out.

Great win for all though tonight.

Last years class was loaded. They showed a graphic during game that we had the 3rd most ESPN top 300 recruits in last years class with 15

 

[canadianhurricane]

Lee, Cohen, Harrell, Cloyd, Cisco, Deen, Ajay Allen and Brown were all transfers who will have significant roles this year

Colbie Young and Anez Cooper were lower ranked recruits who are both starting, today, after one year in the program.

Now, we also have players like the DB from Iowa who is now back up north

You can't win them all, but, in regards of evaluations, we seem to win more than we lose

 

[mirvin88]

Promising progression

 

[RVACane]

Promising progression

The talent, execution and coaching overall look Night and day from a year ago.

 

[Koke]

We look way bigger than we’ve ever did before, we look like an actual football team.
