Flo & Jon Canes Live Talk Recruiting/Evaluations

What do you say when Keys and Russell ask “Who is gonna be the quarterback in 2026?”.

Carson Beck might throw for 4000 yards and 40 touchdowns but he won’t be throwing for Miami in 2026. I think we need a nickel to win the QB2 job and gets enough playing time to prove he’s the real deal.
You say we just got 2 top performing Qbs in the portal back to back and have another bag ready to drop on the next top Qb in the portal unless Nickel or Coleman are so good that they do it for 2-3 years with you. Either way you're going to be catching passes from one of the highest paid Qbs in the nation if you play for Miami.

Maybe but they also might say they don’t want to play with an inexperienced qb. We finished the season with the #1 QB (and #1 player) in cfb. We got another top qb to replace him. I’d tell them we don’t miss on getting the top qbs to transfer to Miami.

LSU will have a new QB as well so not sure why it would hurt Miami but not LSU. Besides in that situation, you will have 2 QBs put up big numbers in back to back year meaning you likely also had WRs put up big numbers. You sell him on your offensive system and long term philosophy results in QBs/WRs putting up numbers. That way you are also protecting against Dawson leaving as you've shown the type of offense you want to run.

Why the h*ll is a Boston guy an OSU fan?

He became a huge fan of Ohio State during Covid.

I’d say look at Cam & Beck and know we’ll have or get a QB.

You make a good point, but if I’m an elite wide receiver I want to know who is throwing the ball. Not just the system. And to be honest, I don’t know who LSU’s quarterback of the future is so I can’t comment on that.

My point is the sell becomes a bit easier if Miami has a quarterback in place for 2026. And if Dawson stays. Forgot about him, duh.

Fair enough.

I believe the sell is easier if Miami has a clear quarterback in place for 2026. This is why I hope nickel can win the QB2 job and sufficient playing time to show he’s the real deal. That’s all.

We don’t know who will be in the portal next December, and we didn’t transfer in Cam or Beck until late January.

After landing Ward in 2024 and Beck in 2025, Mario has a legit history to say, “I’ll get an elite QB to run the offense”.

Besides, if Mario is able to get 10 or 11+ wins in 2025, recruiting these kinda guys will slowly get easier and easier….and that includes QBs

Who is playing QB for LSU next season? Or A&M?

I don’t know, but the question is who is playing quarterback for Miami in 2026.

I’m not saying Miami is the only team with the issue. I am saying a clear quarterback for 2026 should make recruiting WRs a little bit easier. Of course it’s only one factor of many.

I understand. Wasn’t taking a shot at you.

I actually think a track record of success with an offense that puts up numbers (think Sark and Lane) or a long list of previous players is the key to recruiting WR.

How you get the first one aboard is the hard part.

Agree. The first one will be the key. No pun intended.

Not worried… we’ve proven if we dont have a real QB on the roster we will pay for one via the portal. If im a playmaker I’ll never worry about having a QB here…
