Literally asking what the buyout is and willing to pay it.... idk how or why you're going to sue someone to try to play for the team they don't want to play for (and if you win you still have to pay them the money they're contractually agreed to receive)

Just take the money and let them go. I hate it but that's just how it us until there's some kind of collective bargaining.

Clemson paid players under the table. NIL is a result of Clemson, Georgia, OSU, Bama, Tennessee, LSU, etc. They all got too loose with it at the end knowing they couldn't be punished.
 
I will ask in here since I asked in other thread that wasn’t a good idea

Anyone hear why Smith didn’t tweet for these last two commitments??

Missouri is tryna be the new Smu.
They’ve picked up Bobby Washington, Malik Bryant and Simpson

Two good pickups for them and Malik Bryant is an unknown. Personally think Bobby can be a good player and Simpson will be a good player

They’ve done well in the portal.
 


10. Keelan Marion​


Transferred from: BYU
Portal ranking: No. 79 overall, No. 16 WR
Final stats: 57 catches, 746 yards, 2 TDs

When Marion committed to Miami after earlier stints at BYU and UConn, he was known more for his prowess as a kick returner than a receiver. He returned two kickoffs for touchdowns with the Cougars in 2024 — tied for first nationally — but had never amassed more than 474 receiving yards in a single season. With the Hurricanes, however, Marion blossomed into the team’s No. 2 receiver alongside freshman sensation Malachi Toney. He played the best game of his career in the CFP semifinals against Ole Miss by hauling in seven passes for 114 yards and a touchdown to lead Miami in all three categories. For Marion to more than double his single-season best in receptions speaks to how impactful he was for the Hurricanes this season.

5. Keionte Scott​

Transferred from: Auburn
Portal ranking: No. 715 overall, No. 85 CB
Final stats: 64 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 INT, 2 FF, 2 TDs

What an incredible ascent this has been for Scott, whose career began at the community college level in Utah before an up-and-down stint at Auburn and — ultimately — a revelatory campaign with the Hurricanes. Deployed by defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman at the nickel/slot position where he often lurked near the line of scrimmage, Scott morphed into one of Miami’s most devastating blitzers and led the country in both quarterback pressures (20) and sacks (5.0) among cornerbacks, per Pro Football Focus. His instinctive pick-six in the second quarter against No. 2 Ohio State in the CFP quarterfinals will be remembered for years to come, blasting through a would-be screen to snare the pass from Julian Sayin and outrace everyone to the end zone. Scott should have a long NFL future ahead of him.

3. Carson Beck​

Transferred from: Georgia
Portal ranking: No. 4 overall, No. 2 QB
Final stats: 338 for 467 (72.4%) for 3,813 yards, 30 TDs, 12 INTs

Detractors will ding Beck for finishing his career with back-to-back seasons featuring 12 interceptions, the last of which sealed Miami’s fate against Indiana earlier this week. They’ll also knock him for a 72.4% completion rate that was inflated by scores of screen passes, check downs and short throws near the line of scrimmage. Still, Beck accomplished something that hundreds of other quarterbacks failed to do this season: get their team to the national championship game. The poise, toughness, unselfishness and timely running ability he flashed in wins over No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 2 Ohio State and No. 6 Ole Miss helped explain why so many within the Miami locker room revered him. Beck more than validated the decision by head coach Mario Cristobal and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson to make him a high-priced focal point of the Hurricanes’ offense.

This was a Diaz signing right? He wasn't that big of a kid if I remember.

Part of the same class as Rodriguez and Michael McLaughlin who never played a meaningful snap at Miami and I believe is out of football. IIRC Big Baby had a massive growth spurt earlier than everyone else and I believe started as a freshman in high school. He just never grew after that. I really wanted his commitment and celebrated bigtime when we got it.

THis is it.

In south florida most of the coaches dont know the names of the kids in youth ball..so the big kid is typically called BIG BABY. There are a TON of them over the years **** i coached one (rip..had a um offer). But yea he was that kid....and kind of plateuaed out at probably close to 6'2. In camp settings he beat up on most in one on ones.

Crazy he started he should stay where he is at but im guessing was tryna make a money play. But like @AllAboutTheU said you got a starting spot unless someone tampered you kind of should stay and finish your career strong.
