Take out Gauthier at RG...move Odogwu to Guard and plug in Transfer George Brown Jr. at Right or Left Tackle
I don't particularly like Sunny at guard. His center of gravity seems a bit high for that position.
Any particular reason you like him there broham?
If the draft advisory board tells Brad he's a lock for the first round, he's gone. You don't turn your back on being a top 5 pick. (as quarterbacks are usually drafted earlier than their talent level might suggest)
That said, Kaaya wouldn't be the first QB who was a "lock first round pick" in the preseason only to see his draft status drop. Even after a productive season. Matt Barkley was a "lock" for the #1 pick according to some draft experts in the preseason. After a very good season, he all of the sudden became the fifth or sixth best QB available. The NFL is very fickle on who they project as the "hot" incoming QB. At this time last year, would any of you thought that Goff or that kid from FCS would have been the first two picks?
No its not.This thread is a complete fail. lulz

Once richt gets rid of the heavy rpo kaaya will look better. He doesn't have the decision making to run that offense
It depends what type of season we have and how much they both enjoy college life.
If we make massive strides and look to be in National Championship contention next year.... who knows. That's a big draw.
Kaaya also could learn a lot from Richt, so I have a sneaky suspicion he stays. Njoku, not so much - a good season and he's due a big pay day.

I didn't know this but apparently schools now take out massive insurance policies as an incentive to keep players from leaving in draft. Allowed by ncaa. Basically amount is determined by estimated draft position, then player gets that amount if he gets hurt during college football season. So injuries next year shouldn't be a huge concern for Kaaya. Right now I think he is at mid to end of first round (not having a stellar season so far). Richt is a QB whisperer. If Kaaya comes back and lights it up next year, and gets Miami to playoffs, he could easily be the top overall draft pick, which is worth many millions more than end of first round. I'm guessing he knows this.
Anonymous NFL scout: Miami Hurricanes’ Brad Kaaya an ‘average’ QB | Canes WatchThe scout, Brooks wrote, described Kaaya as “slow-footed” and “non-athletic” and “questioned his pocket awareness by suggesting that he is an ‘average quarterback’ who ‘needs a clean pocket'” from which to throw.
This threads funny, now half the board says he can't leave here fast enough when two months ago he was elite
Njouku isn't going anywhere . Kaaya stays we are preaseason top 3 . If he leaves we will still be top 15ish but I hope he sees after a 12-2 season which I suspect we will have that he could improve and become the #1 pick and go to the playoffs.
