If Nickel doesn't start next year, then when does he get his chance?

I understand the argument that we don't want to waste a year of Mali, A1, Nick, and Bfye (hopefully) with an unproven QB.

But what's stopping us from making that exact same argument the following year? We could just bring in another transfer when those guys are sophomores, and again when they're juniors.

Realistically, the talent we'd supposedly be "wasting" by starting an unproven QB is only going to improve.

And if that's our mindset, how do guys like Abrams or Cypher ever get an opportunity to start here?

At some point, you have to trust the talent you've recruited and developed. Otherwise, you're just going to keep bringing in transfers indefinitely.

That's why I believe Nickel will be QB1 in 2027.

If not, I get the logic, but then whats the point in recruiting these top guys like Abrams and Cypher?
 
portal til the death of me..

When you start hearing talk like you heard of Mali from QB room then you let him rock, you still gonna take lumps like phenom bama/miss st. kid.. But until then, Portal..
 
Nickel has been at Miami for a year and a half. The coaches should know if he has what it takes to be a championship-level QB. If there's someone better in the portal at the end of the year, Mario would be obligated to get that person.
 
Ideally, I would want them to grab someone better than Nickel. I'm ok if he ends up leaving as a result. Allow Coleman and Abrams to battle for the QB1 spot the following year if they develop well enough. Grab another QB in the portal if they do not emerge as the top players we hope they become.
