Exactly. Dude could just be a little worn down thru the mid season. Just needs to catch his second wind and Not be disregarded because he’s had a down game or two. As hard and physical as he was playing early in the season, why can’t he get the benefit of the doubt instead of being disregarded so easily once again by our fans.
 
A lot of the draft rankings have both Phillips and Bolden ranked pretty favorably even tho imo Bolden has regressed the last few weeks. Knowing Miamis history they both leave. Of the two id rather have Phillips back. Will be interesting to see how safety shakes out. If Bolden leaves Miami will have Gurvan A. Williams James Williams Kinchens and then Harrell Washington Balom and God knows Carter will come back...anyone think Carter gets told to move along...maybe Washington and Harrell to striker??
 
I don’t see any kids on the team that should leave. Some will leave which is not the best move but I’m not their agent, parent, advisor.

Happens every year. To me, that’s when we’ll know if manny changed “the culture” and kids are actually bought in. It’s ridiculous we have starters every year leaving early to go undrafted. We simply won’t have the depth or experience to compete at a national level if that continues to happen

Because it's not like he's played poorly for one game, it's been like three in a row he's sucked. You don't get rewarded for playing half a good season - if he's battered and bruised through four collegiate games, what the **** do you think NFL scouts will see when that's just 1/4 of their schedule?

He's got plenty of time to turn it around, I personally think he's just gotten a bit too ****y and is coming back down to earth a bit. I think he understands he's been playing poorly and selfishly (that stupid 15 yd unsportsmanlike penalty could have cost us the game) and he'll be ready to roll for GT.
 
Players need to come in with mindset that they are playing their senior years unless they are All Americans and Round 1 picks. They will get better, play on a better team that will showcase their skills, and learn how hard you need to work tocompete for NCs, which is a lesson in itself thst you can taketo the NFL. Juniors leaving have destroyed our program and their draft status.

Yeah- that wouldn’t be shocking.

Jordan
Phillips
Bolden
Harris
Nesta

Harris is the only one that should leave as he has enough film, the NFL likes Miami backs, and he likely doesn’t gain much by returning.
 
When the season ends Bolden and Phillips will both have been out of high school for 4 years. It is likely neither one thought they would make it to their "senior season" before going to the draft. Some of the guys they came in with are already in the NFL and even more will be in this upcoming draft. Gotta believe a 5th year in college aint high up on the priority list.
 
When these kids a start getting payed for their likeness in 2021 , more kids will start to stay because if nobody wants youre jersey or autograph you probably shouldn’t go to the Nfl , except if you are an Olinemen of course

But you get majorly penalized for having a few bad games. And battered and bruised and still playing thru it should give him more clout with scouts, because it’s still better for us to have him on the field than off. But yes, he has 4 more games left, but some sound like he’s fallen into a black hole never to amount to anything. He’s still our best S. I think he will be fine.
