Interesting Manny quote on the Joe Rose show

[DMoney]

When discussing the class, he said "We don’t have to be in a situation that we just grab whatever is left on the shelf. The transfer game is going to be a bigger and bigger thing as time goes on.”

This is a key quote. Miami needs to focus on the transfer market the same way Coach L does for hoops. It can become a major competitive advantage.

We are an attractive transfer destination. Kids want to play in the sunshine. Look at our recent track record with grad transfers-- Adrian Colbert, Marquez Williams, Dee Delaney. Those guys all made the NFL. Tito Odenibgo could be headed there, as well.

Transfers are more physically developed and often come in with something to prove. If the character checks out and the talent is there, bring them in.

he also said he hasnt spoken to richt and he will take his time to find the right oc that will match how they play defense.

 

[AK_Cane]

Well obviously because we can't fill a recruiting class.. it's our only option

 

[Ghandi]

Jesus Christ...

Makes sense

 

[twes.305]

nothing wrong with the transfer market, you go guys like Bubba Bolden, Cameron Rising, and we got Asa Martin. That's a pretty good pull of elite players

 

[SinisterCane]

Manny's talk game is elite but fuq it I'm on-board

 

[Captain Uberpants]

The transfer market needs to be a supplemental piece.

This is the key for this hire IMO. The potential for this to be the coach we've been waiting for is absolutely there...but **** I really wanted him to cut his teeth at temple first

I understand getting a transfer or two but that fact that Miami depends on it is sad.

When you have things humming along I agree. But we have holes and need to fill them. Transfers accomplish just that.

I don't think he's saying we should depend on the transfer market.

He's saying that transfers are going to be a bigger part of the game moving forward, and we should be the best at getting the good ones.

 

[nycane]

he kind of took a shot at how many points bama gave up

Fair enough.

He NEVER indicated he will depend on transfers. I'm sure what most understood was "right now we can look at transfers since we are behind in securing a top-notch recruiting class".

Additionally, going forward the brand of football Miami will be playing will attract recruits. But hey, the negative nancies will always find the negative spend.

Manny the mouthpiece. Always on point when the mic is on.

I’m not a negative Nancy. But if you call me one, do I get to call you a slurpur? Isn’t that how it works around here?

 

[caneworld]

The best and worst thing about the transfers is that they are 1 or 2 year busts or booms... no long lasting drags

 

[CFLCane]

Look how involved Alabama is in the Juco and Grad Transfer market.
