On Caleb Downs Hitting The Portal

[Cribby]

@Cribby, is there any amount we could offer that would make him consider us? or do we just move on?

We just blew a huge wad on a qb. So I wouldn’t expect them to pay qb money to a safety. The Washington kid is the one to watch.

I would be more intrested in his teammate proctor

i was kinda thinking the same thing. would certainly help solidify any questions on the OL if Rivers slides to LG but would probably mean that Pancake and the other JUCO kid we just signed would probably hit the portal.

UGA would be my guess. ATL kid with 1-2 years left in college.

Dude is gonna make more money in college than his first NFL contract….

Do you realize that the first pick of the SECOND ROUND in the NFL draft gets a $10 million dollar contract?? He's probably going to end up a top 15 pick with a 16-20 million dollar deal. He's going to make wild money in college no doubt, but his NIL money in college won't even come close to what he'll make in the NFL.

We should be all in on him, but I don’t know NIL situation. Sounds like we spent whatever we had left on Ward (which I’m not bashing just wish we were in the conversation on downs).

His uncle coaches at UNC

Get the WA kid, use the remaining NIL budget on a WR1.

This kid solves the problem at safety and makes the return game elite. Give him whatever he’s asking for. This is the year to make a run. There is no Cam Ward waiting in the wings in the QB room for next year.

But where are the funds going to come from? We just probably allocated most of the budget to CW

 

[S.CarolinaCane]

I would chip in $100.

I say put all the remaining nickels and dimes together and make McMillan from Zona an offer he can't refuse. Ward + McMillan = playoff lock. Making the playoffs in year 3 silences the critics and let's all the recruits in S Florida know UM is back.

Saw this live. Kinda solidified Sabans retirement being a known thing amongst circles.

Smart does NOT do this if he didnt know his mentor was on his last ride.

 

[Canezum5]

He ain’t going there for TRob he going for Kirby nothing else don’t get it twisted. Kirby is the closer like Mario

People can say what they want about Smart and Saban but they are decent guys that players will run thru a brick wall for. Thats also why theyre good recruiters.

 

[Confidence1000]

We need to go all in on him

haha, i feel you and agree. thought it was funny to add to the thread though. my **** girl doesn't look at me like kirby was lookin at homeboy.

You pay this kid whatever you have left. He’s much more important than another WR. The talent in the WR room is far and away better than Safety. He also takes pressure off of the corners and your need for another one, as long as Damari doesn’t leave. Yes he’s that good.
