Mario Cristobal Signed a Top 5 Transfer Portal Class at Miami

[RVACane]

They took Earl Freaking Little! They should get negative points for taking someone who was mid at FSU. And calling him mid is generous.

I have to be honest. I derive a small bit of pleasure seeing highly recruited local turncoats flounder and fail, and when it’s a legacy…

That’s not possible. Any grad transfer needed to be in already to play this year. They can transfer anytime, they have to be in the portal by the deadline to play in the next season.

As far as I understand, a GT can just show up on campus for summer term and never have to use the portal. It’s also debatable if an undergrad can or can’t do the same thing. Grant of rights within NIL contracts may limit these moves but I don’t see the NCAA stopping them especially GTs.

I am still hoping for a TE and maybe a LT come June.

Incorrect now - the 2026 rules tightened this. You must have been in the portal by Jan 16, 2026 to play the next season at a new team.

There is no exception for graduate transfers now, so the team is the team. Sorry to bring the bad news.

Haha

If that happens Texas will be another job to make a run at Mario. Not that I believe Mario would leave but they will try him.

I think **** freezes over before Mario left his baby. Dude lives and breathes Hurricanes football.

He's not going anywhere

I would laugh hard if LSU doesn't make the playoffs after yet ANOTHER top 5 portal class.

I hope the qb and seaton fight when they start losing

Who are you trying to convince? I don't believe Mario would leave but you're crazy if you don't think Texas would make a run at him. Same with Bama.

If Texas or Bama wants a head coach from the ACC from Miami who is of Cuban descent, well…

…then they can have Manny Diaz.

Appreciate the update. I am both sure you are right and sure the new rules will be challenged. Popcorn ready.
