He’s a take, but I don’t see the hype behind Calvin Russell. Not that explosive & doesn’t run great routes, just a jump ball guy.

Naw he is a 6'4-6'5 guy that routinely make plays running out of the slot or in the middle of the field.

His strength is that alot of guys that height arent as agile as he is AND He is a jump ball guy.

He is AJ Green light (AJ tracked the ball better and probably had better long speed)



Russell has another level to get because this kid never focuesd on just footbal he goes straight to basketball....this kid with additional s&c and football specific coaching will be the goods.

Hes just not JJ Smith but not much ppl are. Bu ti can see how folks wouldnt be all crazy based off of his highlights because they kind of look easy for him.

He also has a comp to Jayden Higgins for me another Dade wr.

Blowing an opportunity with the best QB we will ever have vs the softest schedule we will ever have in Y3.

If “hater mode” is not being blindly optimistic vs what we have actually seen happen ON THE FIELD, then call me Silky Johnson.

I hear ya, just Denver you always being far more even keeled. Get it we blew it last year with the defense, and I wouldn’t call you a hater or a mope.

I wouldn’t say that exactly, although I don’t think you are that far off.

If Mario manages to squander yet another really good team this year, I do agree that his seat will start to get a little bit warm. Mainly because 2026 has a tough schedule, and we lose a lot of key guys after this year.

Mario’s gonna CFP window is 2024-25 seasons. After that, big unknown unless he strikes lightning in a bottle at QB.

How can it be considered squandering a really good team if everyone on here thinks our team sucks? Lol.
And **** heading into August I bet most people thought we were a 9 win team.... Lol

2026 has @South Carolina, @Clemson, @Notre Dame so yes tougher, but the ACC portion is easier IMO.

Also if you think Miami loses alot after this season, Clemson loses much more. They dont even have anyone as good as Luke Nickel on the roster. South Carolina more than likely loses Sellers, so only roster in 2026 that could be better off the hoof is Notre Dame.

You’re right, of course. Everyone loses guys but we lose our QB and the bulk of our trenches - all that is tough to replace. Mario will have to get another one year portal rental at QB this off season. When you lose that much, your margin for error (which is already pretty thin with us) gets even slimmer.

judging by the draft we had the number one overall pick, one day two pick, and a handful of day three picks. Not exactly a super talented roster that most would like to think we had… Cam covered alot of things up but sadly couldn’t cover up a defense Dorito himself would have proud to call his own.

The team is better than year one but far from a championship roster still…

It wouldnt surprise me if we had

QB-Portal/Nickel
RB-Fletcher/Lyle/Brown/Pringle
TE-Lofton/Schott/Gilbert
WR-Moore/Robinson
WR-Toney/Ray Ray
WR-JoJo/Carr/Upshaw
LT-McCoy
LG-Rodriguez
C-SJ
RG-Kinsler
RT-Samson

Also could see us add a portal OL or 2 to raise it up some.

Defense has lots of good ingredients.

I think 4 of those DBs have a chance at getting drafted, and we could start Three 5 star DL.

DE-Blount
DT-Scott
DT-Jones/Simpson
DE-Lightfoot
LB-PoPo
LB-Bonner
CB-Lucas
CB-OJ
NB-Brown
S-Day
S-Poyser
