Brian Hightower in the portal

[hoops156]

Imagine sitting behind Dee Wiggins and watching him drop balls left and right.

**** good luck. i root for the canes not for a dude who wants to leave the canes. dont give a rats *** about his future away from UM. hes either a cane or he isnt. see ya. idc if ronald McDonald is coaching (diaz is close), UM still comes first.

all those who want everyone to leave, you do realize that this just hampers the next coach even if you hired the dream candidate. you'd better hope these kids stay and the next guy coaches them up

lol but we have people in this fanbase defending him and congratulating him. same fanbase that kills dj ivey for congratulating for de committing.

Agreed man. If he practiced and balled out he would play. Some on here are so out of their minds with bs that they think coaches play favorites instead of guys that show up and work. There are guys on this team that should never have returned because we thought they would help us win. Nothing but dogs. 20 years of mediocrity now falls on a coaching staff 7 games in. You're not a genius stating things are going bad. Free up some more scholarships for guys that show up, work and don't quit.

I dont blame him, he was highly recruited for what

We all root for Miami, but we’re also not blind to the fact that playing for Miami in the present day is just not a smart idea if trying to get to the next level is the ultimate goal

and this staff blows but cooney isn’t telling Dugans who to play (Hightower and dugans were good) and he isn’t telling stubs either.

Saying that and choosing Arizona state as the next stop.

But I thought all of our guys go on the the NFL to prove how much talent we actually had.

 

[Roe 15th]

He will be All Conference at his next destination

Hopefully he will but maybe he won’t...

I was always taught that you finished what you started. At least the year. I played for an absolute a**hole in 10th grade basketball. It sucked. But I worked my *** off anyway. Finished the year and didn't go out next year.

This is a 2 way street. Yeah our coaching has been bad, and Diaz needs to make changes year end. But I got news for the players. Those stars don't mean s**t anymore. You moved up a level. Everyone here has your talent. You need to WORK, and WANT it. Unless you're a generational talent like LT with the Giants, you don't get your own rules.

If you are ****ed about playing time, don't half *** your chances. Don't drop the ball. Make an effort to fight for a catch that you have to adjust to (I see guys do this all day on other teams). Half assing it will show those idiot coaches.

 

[DemCanesByke]

No it’s true Cooney was in the ear of Dugans last year with Wiggins and Pope (obviously Dugans had final say so). This year Stubblefield just sucks so not sure if that was the issue this year. But also plenty of times Hightower’s number was called and he didn’t deliver. This works both ways

i can agree with that but to say cooney deciding playing time is inaccurate. U framed if much better lol

You don't think ASU is in much better shape than Miami right now?

not for the nfl no. He’ll never be heard from again. His choice and he’ll be happy there. I’ll be happy that he’s gone. Root for the kids w the U on the helmet coaching be damned. This isn’t the nfl. Wanting everyone to leave won’t do **** Bc it’ok take years to replenish the roster w talent even if you hired gods gift to coaching

If a player is good enough, the NFL will find them. Hence the tackle from Alabama State drafted in RD1. Leaving a team you committed to will also get noticed.

Not if said player isn't being developed and under utilized

this. At best, his draft stock would Be the same compared to if he would have stayed at Miami. I like the kid but there’s a reason transfers rarely pan out. Most of the time, it hurts stock

 

[hoops156]

Point taken.

Nfl gms also draft on upside and potential. If he’s got talent to play in the next stage, he’ll be found numbers be damned. That’s my opinion obviously

 

[Munderwood]

Wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t end up at UGA

When me son told me last night of this I said the same thing about him going to UGA.

Smart move to go to ASU. That staff has a lot of former NFL guys and set up in the same mold as an NFL organization. Herm is still respected in the NFL. If he performs half way decent Herm will vouch for him.

 

[BS85]

Might have been addressed in first 22 pages but why would he enter the portal in the middle of the season? He is gonna miss the next 6 games of this year AND all of next year?

Literally makes no sense. I dont care if he's mad about playing time or doesnt like the coaches. He gains nothing by portalling out now instead of finishing the season.

What am i missing here? Someone explain please. Thanks ahead of time

Kid is so fed up that he has to leave for his own sanity, only thing I can think of.
