Was it Ohio State's Nick Bosa who said he would have stayed another year if he knew he was going to take a pay cut with his signing bonus?
Nick bosa opted out to train for the draft. Taint was a bus stop for himWas it Ohio State's Nick Bosa who said he would have stayed another year if he knew he was going to take a pay cut with his signing bonus?
Agree with this. I also think Miami suffers more than most schools due to the SFL lifestyle ~ agents, handlers, runners hitting these kids up all the time I would presume.I think they leave because Miami football has not been fun. We don't win and the fans are (justifiably) negative. At Clemson, kids come back because they expect to compete for championships.
If we win, it will be more fun and more people will stay.
The important question isnt whether it’s just about fun - it’s clearly not just about fun. It’s whether it’s mostly about fun, or only partly about fun. I think it’s more rational and economical than just or even mostly about fun. Kids wants to succeed, have fun and prepare for the future.

Is your supposition that agents haven’t figured out where alabama is?IMO it’s because of ****bag meddling agents that’s down there in Miami poaching the players. Telling them their a high round draft picks when there not.
Just my opinion agents next door to Miami rather hundreds of miles away from Bama. Easily visible.Is your supposition that agents haven’t figured out where alabama is?

Then why doesn’t every 7 win program lose a ton of kids early? Texas has been generally as bad or worse than Miami for a while. How many kids have left there early to get drafted late or not at all?I think they leave because Miami football has not been fun. We don't win and the fans are (justifiably) negative.

Miami isn’t putting kids in the pros much these days either. And I know kids at G5 schools aren’t leaving early at alarming rates but I’m talking about schools in our competitive range who aren’t losing kids early every year to be 6th rounders. Texas, USC, Washington, UNC, schools with a big brand but have been mediocre for a bit. Are they losing three or four guys a year who don’t get picked in the first three rounds if at all? Maybe I’m just noticing it more because I obviously don’t follow those other programs as closely.Because other 7-win programs aren’t putting kids in the pros. Miami is still a Top 10 team in active NFL players.
The problem is kids would rather take their chances as a Day 3 pick instead of coming back and solidifying themselves. That is something that needs to change for this program to take the next step.
It’s not a problem when the first round kids leave early. That means you are producing studs. We need to keep guys like Silvera and Blades.
It doesn’t look hard to understand to me. Our guys (a) have less financial incentive to stay than guys elsewhere; (b) can plainly see that the U doesn’t care about football, and hence about them; (c) have no fun losing to bad teams and (d) know they’re not getting well prepared given our staffs, S&C etc. Not sure why people would expect them too stay.

Since the Richt regime took over, we’ve had 1 first round pick (Njoku who rightly left early) the next highest pick was Chad Thomas? A third rounder who stayed for four years. He probably would have went undrafted if he left early. I don’t think we’ve had anyone else drafted before the 4th round. Why do kids at Miami still think this is some kind of fast track to the NFL? It’s not and it hasn’t been for a while.
This would be a really nice pickup
Do we really have an NFLu reputation anymore? Especially among younger people who never saw Miami's good days?
