Miami Expected To Be A Big Player In Houston DB Transfer A.J. Haulcy

[Trinton Breeze]

According to Geo Milian on Twitter, Miami is expected to be in play and to be a contender for Houston defensive back transfer A.J. Haulcy.



Haulcy is a 6-foot, 215-pound standout safety and ranks among the best defensive backs in the nation. This past season with the Cougars, he recorded 74 tackles and a career best of five interceptions.

A.J. has one more year of eligibility left and earned a spot on the first-team All-Big 12 for his standout year as a safety this past season.

In Haulcy's career, he played in 2,121 plays. During a conference away game this season versus TCU, he made two interceptions, helping the Cougars secure a 30-19 win. Due to his performance against TCU, the Houston native was honored as the Thorpe Award National Defensive Back of the Week.

This guy is a must get! The safety position, along with wide receiver number one are the two must gets in the portal for Miami.

Let's go get him!

Out of everything he does well ...Miami needs a dog like this out there to lead our young Dbs...land this guy at all costs!

I’ll wait for Dmoney to report this

Lots of options at safety. Don't see this as a one-player process.

I’m pretty sure I saw a thread yesterday by dmoney saying this exact same thing. Threads like this appearing then disappearing is a good sign!

There you have it folks

this is the top safety out there are they looking for a starter or young players instead?

 

[Damiencane86]

This seems like the tone setter we need

 

[Odysseus]

I’m told Miami has interest but, this is not as far along as is being reported lol

It should be a one player process. Stud, all conference level player at a position of big need who played under our new secondary coach last year. Literally no need to do anything but bring this kid in. A better fit isn't going to be found. Hoping this is a case of downplaying to not let out too much info but what a miss this would be.

Stop it. This is the guy! Unless you take another depth guy no one else is a guaranteed day 1 impact guy. What are we talking about?

This statement feels like gaslighting

Huh? there really is not "a lot of options". This just isn't true.

If your sources tell you "Not sure UM is going to be able to go high enough on Haulcy, or he will be a tough pull, or "he's really not that close with Etheridge". I get it…But look at his career and production compared to everyone on this list. **** On3 has Patterson as the current #1 ranked safety and he played what? 100 plays?

I'm all for taking a guy like Gregory Smith, I get it…I think maybe one day he can start at UM. But it's no reason to say things like that.

There is a huge drop-off after Haulcey…This guy its a p4 all-conference player and likely NFL draft pick after this coming season. Yes there are "other options" at safety, but the position is truly "one position" depending on what is available right now.

 

[407cane]

fine if it happens as talent needs to win out, but if we land Halcey, does anybody bounce?

D Money's comment tells me a lot

Miami OH is not ready for this lockering they’re about to endure.
