Kaden Henderson update

Linebacker is one of the few positions you don’t have to get 5 star players at to be good. Give me guys who can lead a team and have great instincts all day. We can teach guys to hit ⏸️. I don’t think this guy is a 5* LINEBACKER anyway. He’s a tweener, your best athlete rushing the passer, not a true linebacker. With those guys you never really know if they will translate and we’ve been down this road before many times (although many had injuries) they didn’t pan out.
 
Kid was playing games didn’t realize we don’t have to
I agree. This kid seems more interested in the proce$$ than he is in making a decision and playing football. Sometimes the agent coaching comes out a little too loudly. When I heard the ND mentions, I knew for sure this would be the outcome.

Maybe I'm wrong and the kid wants to be Zesty 2.0, but this isn't cope. This isn't sour grapes. It just is. I also can't help but Malik Bryant vibes from him.

We don’t have to disparage the kid here with unsubstantiated nonsense. He was a luxury for us and could get more money and a clearer path to getting on the field elsewhere as discussed.
 
Just woke up here in Tokyo and can confirm EJ Holland’s report. Sources tell me Miami has moved on from LB Kaden Henderson.

I’ll get more info on what went down, but that’s the news.

This is how it’s done
 
Bro……..how do we go from “full court press” to “we have moved on”
The full-court press can lead to a steal or a quick bucket against you.

I reported earlier this week that I expected the situation to move fast to a resolution. We have one now, even though it’s not what we wanted. My guess is we pushed for an answer and didn’t want to waste any more time. I’ll find out.
 
Anddddddd we can expect the A&M Hayes edit soon lol the moving on posts are so cringy as if we got told no so we put something out there real quick. Petty games.

Ok. You're entitled to that. I don't agree with "disparage," but if that's how see that commentary (more interested in the process than playing football), so be it. It is/was hyperbolic speculation on my part and I've said as much, minus the hyperbole part.

I agree with your clearer path to playing time statement. However, based on your "could get more money" comment, is what I said really that different than what you said?
 
Now that Randle is rated higher than Henderson, we can’t pay Henderson more than Randle.

Let’s go get DJ!
Yeah, what you posted is what is the situation. I don't know about any of this other nonsense everyone else is saying. There is no reason to shame the kid, he is taking his time, and teams are bidding for him. That's how the game works now.
We can't give him more that Randle and maintain a culture that we have with this class and the roster. Look at the brotherhood we have with all the shutting it down announcements at once.
Kaden likes Miami and Texas AM, but his parents love ND. All three choices are good ones, so he can sit back and let them all bid for him. But we don't have to do that. We have two studs already in this class at LB, so we move on. It's a smart move by both parties.
I think he would be the third best LB in our class anyway, so there is that too.
