The Bank (5/3)

Miami has been working in silence. Expect business to pick up in a major way this weekend. Can't say too many names yet, but I think Canes fans will be happy. - Miami will be hosting several important Portal kids this weekend. Expect an explosive running back, a physically gifted defensive back...

Interesting, in the interview he said "loyalty is a big thing for me, that's why I decided to stick around". Wonder what changed?

Possible, but they've got a new staff also. Maybe the staff told him they want to play younger players.

Sounds like the kind of kid we talk ourselves into because why not have an experienced body? And then he ends up playing 80% of the snaps over a more talented Freshman and we kvetch about it for the next 18 months.

We shouldn’t be playing true freshman regularly anyway.

He is a grad transfer, not a portaler, so its not like he didnt put in his time and stayed commited to his school. He's just heading off to a final year somewhere bigger to increase his profile.

But he had to know he'd be a grad transfer two weeks ago.

Exit interview? "Thanks for your service, Larry, but we're going to play the freshmen..."

Dead giveaway. I don't recall someone using “kvetch” on the board previously though it’s possible @SpikeUM has used it before. @HurricaneKush may we inscribe you in the Book of CIS Members of the Tribe?

Someone jump in with an evaluation. Stats say he misses a good bit of tackles. Film was good, but appears to lumber a bit. Just me? I get the Flagg comp. because showed good awareness in pass coverage and anticipation off the snap. Could see him competing to start; don't see a sure-fire starter here. Interestingly, reminds me of the 3-star big LB we signed out of GA. last cycle. May be a tad slower. Could move him around and blitz him too. Whether he has the athleticism to close effectively in the ACC??

I only watched one full game and some clips from others but I'm not sure he has the athleticism to be a sure fire P5 starting LB. He just looks really stiff when pursuing, he's a good blitzer though. I think he's more of a rotational guy, someone who can give you 20-25 snaps a game.
