On Emmanuel Karnley...

[HurricanesR1]

Crazy to think but he probably would've been a starter here last season

Nah but he would've played above guys like Bob Stafford.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

Was he a back up plan just in case Lucas got held up ?

 

[Hurracanes]

There's honestly not that many non-jags in the portal. I'll share your sentiment if we don't at least make a play for some of the better guys in the portal. But honestly there is not that much out there (Haucey/Pena obviously 2 of them)…Maybe see some more enter in the next few days.

Miami betted on being aggressive this portal and things aren’t going as “planned.”

Normally, the 2nd portal is full of JAGs so your best bet is to back channel.

I don't know how much we "betted"…. I mean do we have holes? Yes, but almost everyone does. And we still have time.

At least now we have the money to win the J'Vari Flowers recruiting battle...

Not everyone has an “elite recruiter” and resources to have this many holes in year 4. Apples and oranges.

Remarks like these have me hated more than Shalala. Enjoy your freedom.

I fear I’m too becoming a mope. Hope to have better news later in the week. Fck shalala btw. Also if you want to see how it’s done, look at Texas, UGA (miss me with the Horton bs)

There is now enough history/data to know you need to address your portal needs in the winter. The spring window has to be primarily for minor tweaks, depth or maybe a younger, discount rate "traits" guy if you had some holes in your high school recruiting class. Cant rely on it for multiple starters at important positions.

Majority of the guys coming out now are depth chart casualties, money grabbers, character issues or busts. Most of the pre-portal chatter is just agents using the system for negotiating leverage as those guys were never that serious about jumping in. High quality frontline starters with leadership qualities are few and far between.

This is part of the problem with taking soo much time to address staff hires (or QB holes), it affects your ability to acquire the right talent in the winter window.

We got lucky last spring and pulled it off for the most part outside of DB. If we operate with the expectations that every year can be fruitful in the spring.... Thats just not a sound business strategy.

“Elite recruiter” was always a lie

 

[skeeter]

I think they’d rather just get someone who has played safety. That process is ongoing.

Then why chase the KSU kid? Hopefully that's just due diligence.

 

[Hurracanes]

Who cares? We brought him in, he was the lowest man on the depth chart, so he bounced. I really don't see why this is even an issue. He didn't bang anyone's wife while he was here, did he? So who cares? He was here for a cup of coffee. We needed immediate help, we just threw a bunch of **** at a wall. Whatever didn't stick, would get swept up. He's the non-sticky ****. Move on.

Considering the deal he got to come here, you should care.

I think Mario belongs in that category. I have no problem with it.

Not sure there's that many holes…Safety is alarming and WR needs some help. The rest is depth. We are a top 15 team right now.

I strongly disagree but I hope you’re right

He’s a good recruiter that will outwork anyone, but he’s not elite

No such thing as a mope. Some just try to fault others for not moving the goalposts.

 

[gacaneaddict]

You can be certain the mopey mopes will collect in a Canes portal exit thread.
Kernley was taken throwing numbers at the problem, and like D said, uncertaintity with Lucas. Once that was taken care of, I pretty much knew he was gone after spring.

Honestly who cares? Much to do about nothing.

 

[MumbleRap]

I never pretended to evaluate Karnley and was pretty clear about it.

My evaluation came later from watching him on Greentree, and I can comfortably say he was behind Lucas, Frederique, O'Connor and Brown.

No mention of Brantley though, the fix is in

 

[MumbleRap]

“Elite recruiter” was always a lie

He’s literally signed the top 2 classes at UM in the last 20 years. Let’s find the middle ground here lol
