I thought Knowles would be good. He was not good. His limitations athletically, which are clear in retrospect when looking at testing numbers, prevented him from ever being a true Miami-caliber safety.

But we need to stop using his name as a slur on this board. The man stayed five years, never quit, took a ton of crap from the fanbase and worked himself into a serviceable safety. Rewatching the FSU game, I had forgotten how well he played.

There are plenty of busts and quitters who can be used as shorthand for a "bad Miami player." Knowles should never again be mentioned with those guys. He was a true Cane who didn't quit and earned his scholarship.

Kid was solid his SR year..and like u said never quit and was a model member in his community and represented the U
 
He should have never played a snap here, not special teams, not vs FSU, not vs famu. Simple as that.

LMAO the literal FIRST post after a guy who really does know the game says he played well against FSU. This guy is on a truly legendary run of being the literal worst. I gotta take my hat off. A performance for the ages. And on this board, it’s special to stick out this much for having diarrhea for brains.

He was easily our best nickel safety and really challenged for the starting role. Dude made huge steps.

He was way better than Willie Cooper. That guy literally lost 2 games for us all by himself.

Because I want us to move on and be excited about the safeties we have now instead of bringing up a guy who was a liability all 4 years he played here? I said the guy worked his *** off, never complained, and was probably a good dude and yet you idiots wanna trash me for posting the truth.
