They are clearly tryingGood thing. Wish they would have gone all in though and not just part way, you gotta play both defense and offense

And you’re not wrong, I just don’t think it’s relevant in the fall. When the games are played, you either have the horses or you don’t. Nobody is going to care about the “why.”
If it wasn’t going to be Harmon, then they needed another solution and I would argue they’ve had enough time between Winter and today to find someone who fits the mold who they could have brought in
Isn't this the kid whose mother had a stroke last season? He was able to go home to see her . maybe distance is a factor.I’m just curious if we offered this guy the most money by far and he still chose to go somewhere else - what do you want the staff to do?
There are other DTs still, even if we don’t land him.If we don’t land him then that’s how I would characterize it. Good job in the portal so far, not good enough though unfortunately since we need a massive year this year.
Offensive talent looks good, defense is still suspect and didn’t get addressed adequately
Yes but she’s in Michigan I believe, California/Colorado not much of a difference to Miami.Isn't this the kid whose mother had a stroke last season? He was able to go home to see her . maybe distance is a factor.
You cannot "buy" everyone but some don't understand that.

Yes, but...
This is the stuff that gets debated on the board nonstop...
Since we can all acknowledge that there is "legal tampering"...
But we have certain posters are critical when we do NOT jump on an early Portal entrant because "we know" that certain people are going to enter in the spring. Yes, there is risk.
And when we jump on a kid early, there are certain posters who say "is this the best we can do" and hypothesize about the guys who might be entering the Portal later. So we are "damned if we do, damned if we don't".
And none of this even factors in NIL. Even though NOT every player who left UM did so for "NIL reasons", the fact remains that we freed up a lot of money recently that was being spent on other players. If a December Portal entry wants too much, you have to consider THAT as a potential reason why "we waited".
The bottom line is that Mario is crazy-competitive, and he's a crazy recruiter. There is no lack of effort in working to recruit DTs. I'm not arguing with an "end results" sense of frustration on anyone's part, I'm just saying that it's not the same as "waiting" or "failing" or "not making the effort".

Get me some Vince Wilforks dammit!!!Give me Harmom
**** those little DTs with those trex arms, bring me the monsters
Pause
All we need is ONE of those, but we do need a big body for versatility, matchups, and changing the game with a sub.Get me some Vince Wilforks dammit!!!
Dime a dozenGet me some Vince Wilforks dammit!!!
