Rumor Keontra Is Not in the Portal

I was one. Thought he would be great. of course I also thought Gurvan Hall, Ivey, Carter, Blades, Frierson would all play much better than they did. Along with a number of other defensive players Manny brought in that never produced at a high level for us. That‘s on the coaches for bad evals and development. Wish nothing but the best for Keontra.

I was all in on Frierson. He just couldn't find a place after the coaching change.

Always wonder if these guys (some not all) would have different outcomes career-wise if they played under a different head coach/program from the beginning of their careers.

There's a lot to be said about how devastating it can be for a player's development and mindset when he shows up ready to work only to experience those who are getting all the playing time aren't work hard and tend to be the slap-di*cks on the team. Few people thrive in those situations, or better yet maximize their potential
 
Don’t want to **** all over one of our own but how you a depth piece here and you declaring for the nfl? This isn’t Georgia or Bama; dude got past up by transfers and youngsters.

I think bad Miami coaching killed a lot of dreams unnecessarily. Which is why I don't blame the local kids who left due to "a business decision". As did the at times toxic culture. ... But let's also acknowledge that there were a lot of overrated kids who wouldn't have done well under any regime. They just weren't P4 level.
 
Could be talking about draft beer cause he’s definitely going pro in something other than sports. Got a degree from the university of Miami though. That’s already a nice head start.
 
Linebackers committed to Diaz while Miamis DC/HC:

(Converted some safeties like Smith and this is just a quick list there could be some things to change as far as circumstances)

Tyler Johnson
Deshawn Troutman
Tirek Austin Cave
Corey Flagg
Avery Huff

My Gawd lol

This is why ultimately think Diaz won’t hold up even at Duke. He needs horses for his attacking style of defense and I don’t think he can attain them there. Elko played a complete 180 style on defense. A conservative, primarily zone style that required sound, fundamental play. Will be interesting to observe going forward.

I knew it was bad but man this made me big sad

There was one year we didn’t have a linebacker commit at all.

I had to keep rechecking the commit list to make sure I wasn’t missing something
