Do We Really Need Another Portal QB in ’26?

NO we don’t need a portal QB!

We don’t need a HS QB either!

All we need is to flip Heze Kent then we can line him up in the wildcat with Lofton and SJ behind 8 OL and finally achieve Mario’s dream of running an offense scheme with only OL and Jumbo TE’s.

Never have to worry about TFL, taking check downs or losing the time of possession battle ever again. Better keep that #35 nice and roomy…..

What has anyone seen of Nickel to say he cant play?

He can play, but he’s still learning what he can get away with at the college level and what he can’t. Do I feel comfortable with him being our starting quarterback next year, I absolutely do not but his junior year I could see it happening.

Do we think he needs more than a year to get the feel for CFB? I have no idea, only the coaches who see him in practice do, but I sure hope we settle on recruits at QB at some point, otherwise why recruit them?

I’m just gonna be brutally honest with you and leave it here. We do not have next year’s quarterback on our roster right now. Not even close! So it will be a portal quarterback next year and lucky for us, we will be one of the main spots for the Best portal quarterbacks. Now the year after that, who knows but next year is definitely a portal quarterback for us if we want to win.

Yes.

We just need to better identify who HE is. I’m good with Mensah the more I see of him. He is surrounded by average players and is still putting up 300yd games with limited INTS. I’d love for us to land another true sophomore that has 2 years to play if Luke isn’t the MAN.

I am 100% not good with Mensah.
 
Credit to Mario for more or less flipping Cam and Carson from the NFL draft.

Otherwise, quarterback may be the most mismanaged position on the team.

I’d be curious to see Emory and Judd’s offer list from their recruiting cycles. Nickel was hyped, but needs time to develop, like any true freshman quarterback. Coleman, assuming he signs, will be the next true freshman quarterback.

Good luck with that.

Miami absolutely needs to find next season’s starter in the portal.

Would never get him but Chambliss kid from Ole Miss would be nice in 2026. Heck too bad we didn’t have him this year.

If the plan was to use the portal how is it mismanaged? I think our QB strategy has been great. Ideally I just wish we got someone sooner than waiting for Beck.

Mismanaged as both HS recruits Emory and Judd haven't proven to be playable. I give Mario full credit for signing Cam and Beck but HS QB recruiting has been bad. And I am not counting Nickel, he's too young to judge.

The answer is a clear yes. Emory is not the answer so unless Nickel is ready or Coleman can contribute immediately we need a qb. CJ Bailey trying to improve his stock is a clear take if he’s available
