If the SEC schools find out the portal is an advantage for The U, they will be lined up at the NCAA office waiting to get it changed

Its not the advantage many think, at least not normally. It’s helpful here and there, but most helpful when you wind up in UM’s situation, but that’s rare. You need a bunch of empty scholarships and a lack of good HS options after early signing day. Otherwise you take the kid who will give you multiple years and who you know well. The new rules limiting flexibility around the 25 new counters makes transfers riskier. [The exception is QB, IMO, where for a lot of reasons good kids transfer with plenty of eligibility remaining.]

The last thing we want is to hang around the hoop hoping for cast offs from programs that out recruit us on NSD. That is not a recipe for success.

To be clear, given our needs, this year it’s a no brainer. But I’d guess that 3 or fewer transfers total is what to expect outside of a year like this.

I agree. By no means do I want Miami to be known as Transfer U or Portal U. I do think u will start to see kids who come from here or want to live in Miami transfer more often. Elite talent too, not your JAGS.

Hope not. When we are back, we will not have much room for those kids.

We do not need to be second chance U for kids who leave to play in the SEC.

I’d guess that starting with 2021, we’ll take ~1 grad transfer, 1 undergrad transfer and 1 juco kid a year, on average. Maybe a second juco if there is a good one. Personally, I’d like to see us get back to targeting more Juco DLs.

We disagree on the Portal. I believe it's going to be a big factor of CF going forward and Miami will have a huge role in that.

The portal will continue to play a big role in CFB. But as Miami begins to win they will rely on it less. That might even start next year. A good class would lessen the need for this much work in the transfer portal.
 
It might be hard to convince 17 year old kids to stay home, especially when bags are in play, but it’s definitely not that hard to convince 21 year olds to come to South Beach for a year and play football. The portal should be a great gap filler for us.

Hopefully with sustained success on the field and signing quality out of state players our local tri county kids will put some respect on our offers.

I dont think long term that Diaz is going to turn UM into Kansas St on South Beach. This is just a stop gap to stem the flooding from the shipRicht he took over. To me, this shows that Manny 'gets it'.

We agree completely. But some folks have been talking about the portal as some new strategy. Just pointing out it’s more like wound care for teams coming off a richtover.

I love this as a supplement to the roster but if you're making this your bread and butter, long-term it will be tough to sustain anything. Im actually very interested to see how Diaz can salvage the upcoming signing day...

The kid from UCLA is visiting this weekend! He was the #1 D end

He was the #1 recruit in the entire 2017 class. Had to deal with some injuries, then saw his playing time drop when Chip Kelly came to town. He produced when he played though.

Portal recruiting is different though, now More talented players are becoming available with multiple years left which is much different than just a grad transfer that would only be here for a year. That talent pool will only keep getting better and Miami will be an attractive destination regardless. Getting guys like martell and bolden is just the start, we absolutely have to capitalize on our advantage with this
