Miami LB Raul Aguirre Enters Transfer Portal

[skeeter]

I also think to get more of our DL on the field, the may see Lightfoot playing a lot of LB. Kid is all over the field.

This is a selfish choice...no other explanation
Hate it because I really like this guy.

But at the same time, everyone has to be about numero uno at some point.

they have a 8 year guy (lol) they are bringing back and someone else portaling in.. probably doesnt want to ride bench his whole career

I guess with Toure getting another year, Chase Smith (he’s back somehow isn’t he?), Wiley

But I dunno. That’s a good group but it’s not one a kid should be intimidated about either

 

[plrwkyes]

This is catastrophic, wiley is not ready as much as he's a board favorite

 

[E1k]

Would probably start this year so maybe he got pushed out? This one feels like the pringle one

 

[The Sphinx]

****. Was already a little concerned about the LB room. Not what I wanted to hear.

 

[Steve44]

Wiley/Pruitt season but I had high hopes for Popo next season

Pruitt is too light to play in the box, and hold up in games we just played against A&M, OSU, and IU.

Aguirre was definitely inline to have increased snaps.

Toure, Aguirre, Bonner, Wiley i has penciled in as the rotation.

Let me guess, another Missouri commit.

 

[canesfan54]

Any LB on Duke we can take?

 

[Steve44]

Silly. This reeks of agent leveraging a large pay day due to us not being able to replace him due to the ****ed up calendar and no one left in the portal worth a ****

Possible. He sees the portal is devoid of talent at this late juncture, and figures Miami will pay.

 

[TboneJones]

I really don’t think it’s a money grab. He likely just wants to start.

 

[KrazyCane]

Im sure this will be handled like Pringle.

 

[MiamiBusiness]

We are kinda thin, but not horribly so

We have 2 or less on the field what 85-90% of the time?

Can't blame him…. He probably wants a guaranteed starting spot and Wiley is breathing down his neck. True cane and best of luck to him if we can't convince him to stay.

Toure is the only LB with meaningful experience. I guess Bonner has some experience at NCST. Do we have anyone other than Wiley and the TF that I am missing?

I think Toure and Popo would both start. Really hope we can convince him to stay.

 

[Steve44]

I really don’t think it’s a money grab. He likely just wants to start.

Only sure thing is Toure….why cant he be the 2nd LB on field with Toure?

 

[MarkyMark]

We have the money, I have to believe if the coaches want him, he will stick with us.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

Probably because he's not guaranteed a starting spot. Wiley is likely breathing down his neck…And DMoney said the staff really likes Bonner. I like Popo, I think the kid can play (not saying he's a star), but especially this season, and especially against the run, he was productive when he played. But he probably can't take the chance that he will be a 200-250 snap ceiling guy again.

He’s prob better with a way more athletic ability . I like to see him beside 1 . He’s another great athlete . We have to start recruiting lbs better out of high school!

 

[gogeta4]

Possible. He sees the portal is devoid of talent at this late juncture, and figures Miami will pay.

its this this kid isnt a push out he is primed to start full time.

 

[Highline17]

I don’t want to say it’s disastrous but it almost is. There is no more portal frankly, unless we pull some Xavier Lucas BS and really fight the NCAA. The LB core starting is Toure: who has torn his same ACL twice and Bonner: who while the staff likes has been limited here, and then you’d have Popo slot into a full time or split rep starter.

I don’t exactly trust anyone else to be ready to claim that #3 spot in the corps. Pay him what he wants, he deserves it and the snaps. We don’t need to stress Toure and that ACL.

 

[Page305]

Didn't someone post a rumor yesterday about us bringing in another LB? Maybe could be true.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

Definitely a loss. Heatherman spoke highly of him. He was one of the guys who got everybody where they were supposed to be.

 

[htownkidd]

Was Bonner on any injury reports? He was healthy and available and barely played all year so miss me with the staff suddenly likes him more than Popo talk.

The only time I remember him playing this season he looked lost af and gave up a score right behind him. Popo was our 3rd backer, and was in line for an even bigger role next season on an already extremely thin LB unit. Doesn’t make sense unless this is a $ play. JMO
