I think its safe to say that we will finally stick with our QB room next year

meaning Coleman will be starting

If Mensah has the season we expect him to have, then it’s hard to say no to another portal QB

Portal QBs have given us a winning program and changed trajectory of program overall, also final 4 playoff teams, 3 of them were portal guys and its obviously the best way for a program to stay at a high level. Yea lets throw that away and gamble a season away so QB can develop.

Would be better off sending QB to fau/duke or something as a farming system..

I just don't believe we could credibly recruit HS qbs if we push the portal streak to a fourth year. If Dawson is here again, he and Mario both seem pretty confident in the quarterback room.

Question: Is it inevitable that you’ll eventually get a portal quarterback who doesn’t work out?

Shannon Dawson: Nothing’s 100 percent in life. I’m an old-school soul — I like developing kids, and reps in a system matter. At some point that’s going to mean more again.

Question: Is experience at quarterback more important than taking a talented redshirt freshman out of the portal?

Shannon Dawson: Experience matters at every position. Older kids typically play better than younger kids. If you’re going to roll the dice, that’s usually the better bet. I do think we have the best quarterback room in the nation.

NOTHING is "safe to say" when it comes to starting jobs.

But I fully expect Dereon Coleman to be throwing bombs to JoJo Trader next year, right? Wouldn't that be safe to say?

Have you crystal balled Coleman to NC State?

 

[The U is back to work]

Mario isn’t trusting a 170 pound QB. We will always go portal lol

A little late on this projection, no? I mean after 1 non-contact Spring practice seems like a safe bet all things considered.

 

[grover]

I don’t think another portal QB will prevent great HS QBs from committing to Miami. Mario has proven he’s willing to start anyone at any position if they give us the best chance of winning. They’ll learn under Dawson and a Day 1 or Day 2 kid then win the job or move on.

I do like Nickel and Coleman and expect one or both of them could legitimately be our starter at some point. But you do whatever it takes to win.

I can see why you have concluded that, hard to deny the results of the one spring practice in shorts that we saw a few videos of.

I mean, isn't that where all the second-most-talented Miami players end up?

 

[TouchMoney26]

not sure why most of you are against this and wouldn't want him starting his sophomore year

It's more like people are against dip**** porsters predicting NEXT year's starters based on the first day of spring practice 18 months in advance of the Utah game in Las Vegas.

Particularly after you hyped up JoJo Traded-to-NC-State.

Louisville at first, then smu, now nc state!
