I’m sorry, but I really question wtf y'all watch.
Dude is really good and makes incredible throws. Better than a lot of qb’s that we’ve said “this is the guy”.
If you want a dude that has proven he can get the ball out there; he’s done it for 2 years.
So there better be some really good reasons for not wanting a dude like that.
As far as schools in x number of years we have dudes on this team on their 3rd university and are contributing big time.
Last I checked he’s been at Nebraska 2 years and didn’t jump last year.
No arrests, no disciplinary issues (that are public) in high school or college.
But I 100 understand not wanting him back if the family is gonna be hitting up the hc and oc all the time complaining about play calling and scheme.
But that’s considering if what is being said is true or not.
The fact that his dad was an olineman and didn’t even consider Miami to begin with is a little concerning. But maybe it was a money issue considering we aren’t breaking the bank on a unproven freshman. But we f he’s not going where family is being hired at then hail nah.
The last thing we need is Mario telling g a parent “come get your kid”
But it wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up being best available after it’s all said and done considering the 6 million dollar offers going out for these qb’s.
Look at his base, angels, and motion. He’s a bigger older Cam Coleman.
But the biggest question: is he a Miami guy?
He’s not the worst QB in the world. He’s certainly done some good things and playing as a freshman in the Big is not easy and had a good bounce back sophomore to an extent.
I watched a lot of his games. He gets sacked a ton!!!!! A lot of it is due to his own doing. Sacked 27 times this year and 26 last year. He had good receivers and an all world RB in Emmett Johnson.
I know, I know… Mario will always have a good offensive line.
I question his decision making on the field, has a deer in the head lights type of look to him way too often. I don’t like his intangibles on and off the field. He needs to lose 20-30 pounds.
Could he develop and become a very good QB? Definitely has the potential. Should we be taking these types of risks with this type of QB profile at this point in the Mario tenure?
My answer is obviously no but I am not the coach or on staff.
We will find out soon enough and if he’s the guy, well then, I am hoping for the very best in 2026 for our Canes.
