1) What if all draft eligible players return next season? Probably unlikely, but how much more formidable does Miami become next year?
2) A blast from the past question...Miami was only able to recruit two wide receivers in 2005-2006 (Sam Shields and Robinson). For a team that was in the Top 10 each year, even entering 2006, how did we fail to recruit such a key position? We had only 6 scholarship receivers going into 2006, and we were down to 3 by mid season due to injury.
 
What are the odds we see a youth movement with Avantae and James Williams starting together at Safety next year?
 
Please help settle an argument beefour it terns violet. Witch was the bigger upset? Buster Douglas/Mike Tyson ore the Miracle on Ice - the US hockey team beating the Rushin hockey teem in the 1980 Winter Olympicks?

What traits should we be recruiting in linebackers to make them successful in our system and make our defense better? Because what we have now isn’t working.

When Miami wins the coin toss why do they always elect to defer. Seems every time the opponent comes out and runs their scripted plays and go right down the field for a touchdown. It’s spotting the opponent 7 points.
 
There is no Chief of Staff loophole to the RVA Rule.
(1) Who will do a better job as his respective chief of staff; (a) Ed Reed or (b) Not Ed Reed?

(2) Which was more of hosing: (a) 1972 Olympics basketball final between Team USA and the Soviet Union (where refs unbelievably gave those *£€€#%*s 3 do-overs of an inbound play in the final seconds, or (b) the BS super late pass interference call against Glenn Sharpe in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl between OSU and the Canes?

(3) Curious as to those former Cenes football players you can name that are now or at some point post-UM work(ed) in law enforcement, and in what capacity? Not to steal your thunder too much but I’ll start with one of my favorites, Kenny Calhoun - DB who deflected pass in the Orange Bowl finish allowing UM to get the N.C. Believe he still is a police officer in north Florida area.

(4). What’s the scoop as to how Peyton Matocha is progressing as a QB? I see a bunch of speculative posts about King, TVD, Nkosi, and who will be our future QB - depending on whether someone graduates, transfers, etc. Haven’t read much about Matocha though.

(5) Every so often somebody will post how a football recruit will get a great / much better education at UM and how a UM degree is worth so much more, as one of the reasons to come here versus another school. Recognizing that it’s just not the school but there are many factors , such as what the student puts into it, family situation, major, financial situation, and life experiences I was curious if there is any type of global reference — kind of like a “where is he now” that shows how our football tplayers have fared post UM over the years.

(6) Seems like the last game or two we’ve gotten a few block-in-the-back penalties on returns. Prior to that I don’t recall this happening but that may have more to do with fair catches and touchbacks. At the beginning of the season I remember seeing our guys holding their hands and arms straight up, which I thought was a good way of preventing a block in the back call. So, more of a request than a question, but perhaps you can remind Patke of this the next time you two cross paths.

Thanks again.
