Least surprising thing I’ve ever seen
More than Rousseau, I call that a win..Portal is a tricky thing. Phillips came, he performed, he gone. We got 10 games out of he and Roche, and now there's word that Joyner is leaving, probably due to a lack of playing time. I'm not saying we should stop adding players through the portal, but this is a pretty clear case of development being hindered.
That donker, whatever his name was. Went back to FSU, and CMRAlso of note:
2020 CBS SPORTS ALL-AMERICA FIRST TEAM
WR | Elijah Moore | Ole Miss | Junior
Who was evaluating WR recruits in 2018
I may be wrong but I think it was Devin Hester at KR****, when was our last 1st team All-American!?
I would trade 40 years worth of Joyner for one year of Phillips and RousseauPortal is a tricky thing. Phillips came, he performed, he gone.

I think his daughter had a kid with one of our players.

MOAR PORTAL!!!!Phillips really only played one season here. Pretty sure he didn't practice in 2019 but I could be wrong. Either way, this was his 4th year out of high school and his potential was finally realized. Kudos to Miami for having him transfer here, and for coaching him up (up until UNC at least) but his breakout season was bound to happen.
Joyner had 3 years to show something at Miami, so if he leaves it's understandable considering he was 3rd team, and might still be even after Phillips/Roche opted out. But it wasn't just Joyner who sat and watched Roche and Phillips all year.
Now don't get me wrong. Having 2 transfer DEs the caliber of Roche and Phillips was a blessing. I just hope we don't try to patch the perceived hole at DE now that they're gone. Instead, I'd like to see what the players already here are capable of despite their lack of experience. The same goes for other positions.
Landing Osborn, Phillips, Bolden, Roche, Borregales, etc was smart. Those guys helped us. But we're entering year 3 under Diaz so there should no longer be a reliance on the portal moving forward. It's time to grow this thing organically.
Recruiting has been good enough lately that we should allow these young and inexperienced players to play instead of having them watch from the sidelines while stop-gap transfers gobble up all the snaps.
Portal players are our best players. Diaz has been here since what 2016? and HC goin into year 3, the defense still has holes and we cant recruit corners. Only position that is miami stocked is safety.. It would do us well to continue to hit portal players who are developed elsewhere and can come here and take our talent level up.. Where would we be depending on Nkosi this season? Have you seen our WR play, we need multiple portal WRs, even if they are from Buffalo they are better than what we have..Phillips really only played one season here.
