We're starting to see a pattern with these Miami Portal departures: talented players who had coaches genuinely excited at one point, but plateaued in their development and struggled to get on the field this spring.

Carr is a guy I loved in spring '24. He got open consistently and made plays from Cam Ward and others. Over time, his inconsistency became a concern and his body was slow to develop. This led to some nagging injuries, including missing significant time this spring (like Josh Horton and Zaquan Patterson). Carr's absence allowed guys like Malachi Toney, Josh Moore and Daylyn Upshaw to thrive, and his '24 classmate JoJo Trader jumped to another level physically and in terms of consistent production.

Given his price tag, the urgency of modern college football, and Carr's eagerness to play, the sides parted ways. I never heard a bad word about him, and he has a chance to produce at his next stop if he physically matures. In my opinion, this would be a player to target in the Portal for other teams.

Jojo said false info?
 
people who get ****ed about what you just wrote are the ones who have to realize this is now a business. Its what a lot of people wanted. Keep up, catch up, whatever. Developing young guys for the top 20-30 programs is going to rarely exist for now until NIL comes back to earth and kids realize the grass isnt always greener once they go in that portal.

Who's to say this doesn't also happen to someone like Moore or Upshaw or even Toney. Guys come in, immediately flash when they first arrive, and then the excitement fizzles and we move on.

New era of CFB I guess, but it's odd to me that we pour so much time, money, and resources into these recruitments, only to write said player off one year later.
