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

Ward wasn't recruited out of HS. Mensah had one offer. Both turned into stars. At what point does the University of Miami, who has all the resources available, land our own homegrown Ward or Mensah? This is QBU. Someone out of HS needs to take the reigns. It is kinda getting ridiculous. Hopefully that is Coleman.

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

I like his ability but would love to see more active/light ready-to-throw feet in the pocket; he has those dead/flat feet you see from a lot of 7 on 7on tournament QBs. We need to see how he navigates the pocket and gets the ball out under pressure.

There's a lot of excitement about his release but there's so much more to unlock from having elite footwork.

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

Say goodbye to talented HS QBs like Nickel/Coleman coming here anymore if this continues to be the strategy, it will be top portal QB or bust annually. I personally don’t mind rolling with one of the 2 talented guys you recruited here next year in Coleman/Nickel after the battle it out **** you can even bring in a young portal QB with potential to battle it out with them instead of a top dollar guy(think husan longstreet) .. ND went to Carr after Riley Leonard and still was a playoff level team, and now Carr is widely regarded by many as the top signal caller in the country next yr..Coleman possesses that sky high potential in my opinion
 
The 1st practice for Mensah at Miami and this is what we get. Mensah looks like he could be our most accurate QB in, forever. I will not be shocked if he is better than Cam. His decision making will surely be better. He has put on weight, not bad weight. He already appears to have taken full leadership of his guys.
Coleman is so small, their is zero chance he isn't a RS.
Another year and Judd still hasn't gotten his accuracy issues down, pun intended.
Nickel has reshaped his body and looks comfortable right now. Completely different from last year. By default, Nickel is a given to be the backup.
QB room set day 1 of Spring.

Yes Coleman will redshirt and Nickel will start next year IMO.

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.

he's got it. a real gunslinger.

after one practice and seeing his HS press clippings, it's obvious:

he will beat out Emory and Judd this fall, and be the backup by week 3, and then will take over next year as QB1

oh wait, my mistake .... that was CIS last spring after Luke Nickel's first day

Of course I understand this. I am just speculating and it will be fun to look back when it is time to decide who our future QB is. We will get to see who was right or wrong.

He’s definitely beating out Emory on the depth chart at the University of Miami. 😏

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?

I’ve been on this before he even got to campus. Even during the playoff run, when he had just joined and was only practicing, the same traits were there. That’s consistency, not hype. From a real evaluation standpoint, the release is elite. Quick, compact, no wasted motion. The ball jumps out with natural spin and easy velocity. That’s not coachable, that’s something you identify early.

And the size argument is lazy. Acting like smaller QBs can’t win college football? Go look at Bryce Young. He just showed you exactly what that looks like at the highest level. And this kid’s only going to keep developing physically anyway.


He’s controlled, on time, and comfortable. Nothing is forced.
It’s early, sure. Bookmark this for next year

There's a difference between "speculating" and "guaranteeing" things the way that TouchMonkey does.

You're so dopey. You are bring up **** I never said, regarding Coleman's size and whatnot.

"It's early, sure". THAT is your backtrack? Give me a break. "It's safe to say" that people are going to bookmark this thread for next year, if only to throw it back in your face when you whiff on yet another of your overly-confident predictions.

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.. :ibis-roflmao-sm3:

“final 4 playoff teams, 3 of them were portal guys”.

Are you talking about the final four teams of this past season? The semi-finalists?

Oregon- Dante Moore
Miami- Carson Beck
Ole Miss- Trinidad Chambliss
Indiana- Fernando Mendoza

All four were transfers (Moore from UCLA; Beck from UGA; Chambliss from Ferris State; Mendoza from Cal).
