We all ended up agreeing on best freshman at the U of all time right?

I've been watching for 43 years and can think of none better.

Ray Lewis is up there
Ahmmon was close

Some others had outsized impacts as true frehsmen like Kaaya and Cici but no one was as constitnely dominant right off the bat in my memory.

The playoff run sealed it for me. He was right their anyway. I am so pumped to see him and Barkate together with a Jacobs or Vaughn over the top. I am not sure a lot of people understand how good Barkate is. Mario offered Barkate out of HS. He had offers from Oregon, ND, UCLA, ASU and many more. He wanted that Harvard education and got that degree. Just so impressive. His father played at UCLA, his grandfather at LSU and his sister played lacrosse at Harvard. Him and Mali with Mensah. Seriously! Not forgetting Fletch, but I have my eye on Jordan Lyle this off season.

That battle for playing time at WR besides Toney and Barkate should be ridiculous. Then you got Moore and Upshaw who both looked good last year as FR. Add to that a loaded incoming group. Wingo and Paris in particular are big-time talents.

He is because he literally did everything and he was a reclass on top of it. He set records as a receiver, ran the ball, threw the ball, returned the ball and blocked better than our tight ends. The only thing he didn’t do was kick. And did it over 16 games against grade A competition. He is the greatest TF in our history with a bullet

Dmoney talked about, from a fans perspective, how making it to the playoffs and getting a taste means you can never go back to playing for meaningless bowl games. With some of the guys we have on our team, I gotta imagine they're going to do whatever it takes to get to another level.

The perspective of that experience has to completely reprogram these guys. I know, as a fan, it reprogrammed me.

The climb was hard. Maintaining this level will be even harder. Thankfully Mario’s up for the job and he’s not an old man. But make no mistake the fall is easy. as we all know to well

I think playing in the ACC mitigates a lot of risk other teams have. And making the championship last year will help give Miami the legitimacy they've been missing when it comes to rankings.

I know it's not easy but we have it easier than most.
