On Emmanuel Karnley...

This **** is exhausting. Feels like yesterday, D-Money was hyping Karnley up as a guy with NFL traits and the guy real scouts thoughts was the best player in the Arizona secondary last year.

Some serious issues with the portal, this being one of them. You shouldn't be allowed to transfer with no penalty multiple times in a calendar year.
Holy **** D glazing another ****** defensive player? I’m shocked….

I don't see the problem. Came in, got a real look at him, and he couldn't play at this level yet.

Moving on.

A dozen people on this board who don't have the resume to be on field at UM looked at his film and knew this. Our coaches needed to get "a real look at him" and spend $$$ to arrive at the same conclusion.

That's a problem. And it's not an isolated incident, but a pattern.

For years we complained lack of funds was the problem. Well, money isn't the problem now. It's the guy(s) deciding how to spend it that are holding us back.
 
I think every coach in America would consider Mario an elite recruiter. From Bama, to Oregon to Miami. ****, even going back to when he was here originally under Coker.

Now if you wanna argue evaluations, you might have an argument
Elite based on what? Outside of being the HC at Miami.
 
I don’t. At all. It’s the cost of doing business. Nobody in the building is pounding a table saying god damnit we can’t get “insert player X” or we can’t retain “insert player Y” because we brought in this dude for 3 months.
That’s not my point but these moves and misses cost money and opportunities in finding the right players in the first portal. The 2nd portal is full of guys like this unless you’re back channeling with heavy $.

I understand everyone misses but this kid should have never been prioritized to begin with. This was obvious to many folks here on CIS, how was it not for the staff? Miami needs to do better in its evaluation’s and homework on kids. For weeks I’ve heard this kid wasn’t gonna survive.

I hear you and understand your point, but at the end of the day, again, why does it matter? If the kid is giving up touchdowns in September, I’d be right there with you. There are a lot of kids, in hindsight, who shouldn’t be prioritized by staffs all over the country. This **** is moving at warp speed right now, that room was a puddle of liquid **** after the season, I have zero problem getting essentially anything you can get, hoping you get lucky, and continuing your pursuit of kids who you feel have higher floors like Lucas, Brantley, etc.

I just fail to see how this is any kind of issue in the least bit. If he’s not making your team weaker, either by ****** play on the field or roster construction via taking up limited money, I don’t see why we need 20 pages of yelling about this.

You got 1-2 days, in some cases hours, to perform full evals on these kids and pull the 500 strings it takes to sign them. Literally any other position on the team id be a little more attentive to this. At corner, I wouldn’t have cared if we’d have brought 15 kids in for 3-4 spots.

He was the 5th DB brought in. Never sounded like a priority to me at all...

The same people that were mad that we signed him are mad that he’s leaving.

I don't believe anybody is mad he's leaving. But him leaving (and the rationale provided) seems to indicate he should have never been brought in. Which is what those people were mad about when we signed him. And then were told we shouldn't be mad because [insert whatever stupid bull**** they were saying].
