@mattyports: Kiper on Miami's talent level: "It's not where it needs to be, but it's getting closer and closer." Mentions Kaaya as a building block.
Are outsiders really this dense to the obvious problem? We went 6-7 last year, not 11-2
A few things I got from this quote..
A) I think Kiper is comparing our talent level to what it should be for a program of our caliber AND comparing to where it once was. Remember, even though we have 9-10 guys who might be drafted..none are 1st rounders as of today. Maybe Flowers is. That not the mark of a program like Miami.
2) We have some big time talent in certain areas. But we lack quality depth and depth period in certain areas too. We have horrible DB depth, horrible "quality" DT depth, horrible LB depth, and as of today, our QB depth isn't where it should be. Kaaya slips on a banana peel and we are phucked. Say hello to a 3-4 win season.
Also, our "quality" RB depth isn't where it should be for a program like UM. Yearby goes down and we are phucked. We are basically relying on whatever freshmen RBs we sign, TGray who at this point is more urban legend then anything, and Gus. Smh.
All that said, Al should have won the **** coastal division with this team. He will look back on this team in a few years, when he is working for ESPNU as a color analyst OR if somehow he turns this thing around and is still our coach,..and wonder to himself secretly when no one is around how the **** he phucked this season up so bad. 6-7 with all this talent...Smh.
