False information
Flo already hinted at that possibility.Ray-Ray is a portal candidate IMO.

This time last year every report of practice was Ray Ray lighting it upFlo already hinted at that possibility.
Thats that miami development.. He went thru the system quicker than most tho.. Didnt even peak freshman year but spring before he even went to prom.. #TNMThis time last year every report of practice was Ray Ray lighting it up
He barely played all season and now we haven’t heard anything about him
I have no inside info but
What else you saw? Or did you write your lemon pepper wings report somewhere else? If so link please..Watched him Saturday and he's a grown man. He just LOOKS like somebody who started on a National Championship level squad. And honestly he's the only one who I saw cover X at all.

I agree with you, he’s definitely not a number one to me, but I think he can be a solid number two at 2nd string. What I’ve seen about him since he’s been here, is that he is limited. Now maybe over the off-season he’s upped his physicality and physique and those physical limitations are gone but I have to see it first.
As always there is Rok with a nonsense comment.

No doubt! I thought the same thing. Great to hear that Shemar is out there making plays and looking good doing it. I may be in the minority but I'm very intrigued by this WR group. There is a lot of talent there albeit in varying stages of development but I'm getting the sense that the group as a whole is really beginning to develop. Granted this room will look very different in 2-3 years in terms of Mario and staff bringing in more elite type talents.
Even so, this particular group right now will continue to get better and better up to game 1 then throughout the season. We have the rock solid, super productive and unquestioned leader in Restrepo and Jacolby George bringing experience and big play ability. Then we have 3rd year WR Isaiah Horton who has attacked the off season and transformed his body while adding strength and more speed and is seemingly on the verge of a breakout year as the frontrunner for a starting spot on the outside opposite George. Then we have Ray Ray Joseph who flashed his explosive big play ability as a true freshman last year both as a WR and a return man followed by sophomore Robbie Washington. Washington is an explosive speedster who is dangerous with the ball in his hands. Washington can also return kicks in addition to playing CB. Next up is JC transfer Shemar Kirk who up until this spring has been invisible. Kirk is having a good spring and is coming on.
Finally we have our uber talented true freshmen WRs in Jojo Trader and Ny Carr who have been consistently making huge plays in practice since their arrival. Chance Robinson arrives in the summer and D$ says he looks like a college ready WR already with impressive physical characteristics.
This is shaping up to be a fairly deep WR corps. We still lack a true #1. Horton has a chance to develop into that this year and Jojo certainly has the ability but he's still a true freshman. Due to this there is a very good chance that the staff adds a WR in the post spring portal period. They likely wouldn't be interested in a depth piece and if they bring someone in it will be a player that the staff believes gives them that true #1 WR.
The thing that is going to make this entire group effective and productive will be the QB play. Cam Ward brings the type of skills at QB that we haven't seen at Miami in well over 30 years.
Against one another. This is a good sign for both since each are upperclassmen and it’s their money year- Meesh Powell and Xavier Restrepo continue to battle in the slot. Both are hard workers and experienced playmakers. Restrepo made a beautiful one-handed catch on a pass behind him in the seam and numerous other big catches.
Sorry...what, excuse my ignorance but I've never heard of Powell, how is there a "battle" there?
Did some research aka Googled it, forgot all about him.
That would be dumb to leave that quick but if Ny and JoJo are lapping him then I guess.Flo already hinted at that possibility.

You’re full of ****, no he hasn’tFlo already hinted at that possibility.
It’s definitely not out of left field in my opinion but same time no one is saying the kid is gone eitherI am almost sure I heard Donno say earlier this weak that Ray Ray is one of the primary return guys. The guy is playing behind one of the top slots in the country so I’m not too worried about him not emerging yet. That comment came from out of left field.
For sure though with RayRay I’ll say that kid looks pretty electric. With freshmen though we know it’s gotta be more than that when it comes to putting in the work, handling business on/off the field etcJust a gentle reminder of how much stock we should put in these spring practice reports
That’s odd considering the success Restrepo has had here.He (Ray Ray) doesn't really make any plays. We know he's fast in a straight line, but there's something that's just "not there" in his game. He doesn't do anything else particularly well.
First of all, he's tiny, and he can get overwhelmed in coverage. I eluded to this when I coached against him a couple years ago and my long Corners gobbled him up all night (pause) for zero catches. (and they're at FIU & NIU)
For someone who's tiny, he doesn't do well getting off press coverage and/or stemming his routes/releases. Maybe this is a result of him not perfecting his craft or maybe he just doesn't have it.
A kid like Carr, for example, is also explosive but he's bigger.
Ray-Ray was absolutely a take considering the circumstances, but I've been told that going forward Miami doesn't want any more slots under 5'11".
