And you can also measure that we haven't seen much evidence of TEAM heart in will in decades.You can measure the numbers, but you can't measure the heart and will.

A CiS 5 star is like a 10 star anywhere else.Incredible that Ward had 0 * coming out of HS. This man has come a long way. Hopefully he's a CIS 5* August 31 and beyond. Go Canes![]()
Powell was always a safety, well he was at WashingtonSafety is the only question mark I feel we didn’t really address unless Powell is moving to safety…
Other than that I think we upgraded a ton especially in the premium draft spots of QB and DE. Some real difference makers
I think the difference is, we have a leader at quarterbackWe are great on paper. My biggest fear is not meshing and being like Texas 8&4.
So if the talent is the same and the coaching staff is the same, we are we all expecting double digit wins?Miami added 40 players from the portal and high school recruiting this offseason. We lost 38 players to NFL, graduation, and portal. That means almost half our roster is new (!)
Here's some numbers. Using 247 player rankings, the average ranking of our incoming players is 0.9. The average ranking of our outgoing players is 0.9.
So according to rankings and such things, Miami talent level shoud be about the same as last year. Mario did a good job replacing the talent we lost - we improved at some spots (QB) and got worse at others (DB) . According to the rankings, it's a wash.
Of course we all think and hope that we got better, regardless of what the numbers say. Just the QB addition alone should make a difference. But of course it all remains to be seen.

Playoffs or the season was a failure.They not gonna want to hear this, I still see post saying if we get 8 wins this year it shows improvements..
Mario got these boys standards below the floor in year 3 with a Heisman level qb, he untouchable![]()
Excellent job and I applaud your effort. Having said that, I don't care what the numbers say. We most certainly got better and this rooster is much more talented.Miami added 40 players from the portal and high school recruiting this offseason. We lost 38 players to NFL, graduation, and portal. That means almost half our roster is new (!)

Texas went 8&4 for other reasons, it wasn't cause they didn't mesh. Injuries and lack of experienced depthWe are great on paper. My biggest fear is not meshing and being like Texas 8&4.
8 wins with this roster is a borderline disaster, at best it’s massively disappointing. This is reg season too, not with a bowl game included.They not gonna want to hear this, I still see post saying if we get 8 wins this year it shows improvements..

8 wins with this roster is a borderline disaster, at best it’s massively disappointing. This is reg season too, not with a bowl game included.
Only 8 wins (injuries notwithstanding) and next season won’t be pretty. We lose our…
QB1
RB1
Potentially 3 starting OL, minimum 2
Potentially all 3 starting WR, probably 2
Potentially starting TE
Barrow, Clark, Cook
Alston, Baron, maybe Mesidor
2 LBs (Kiko + Alderman), maybe all 3 of Wes declares off a good year
Maybe Porter Jr at CB
Powell
That’s a LOT of expected production in 2024 even if the minimum leave.

In the entire time we have been stuck in this university imposed sanction of not investing in program and hiring corches off fired staffs, I have heard year 3 is where we better start to see results. The ENTIRETY of message board era I have seen WTACCOGTFO, but for Mario who is paid as elite premium in year 3 its nothing..& then it’ll be a recycled excuse for 2024-25 (we don’t have the pieces yet, we’re building).
The fact is, we need to win at least 10 this season. The schedule is favorable, & our roster is prime to breakout. This is the time to do so. It’s year 3, which is the year u’re supposed to be a rebuild come to full fruition.
These guys are siiiiiick
