It would be a waste to throw a 4+ million bag at Leavitt just to attempt to squeeze out 10 wins next year (especially with his added injury concerns). Take a chance on the young guys at QB, and make sure to keep Toney locked in for 2026 and 2027. It was worth risking it with Beck this year since we had a roster that could compete, but next year we return almost no production outside of RB/DB/Toney.

Starting Emory next season would be a waste though. You have to start Nickel/Coleman and see what you have there, and that will guide the portal decision for the 2027 season. Going 8-4/9-3 with Emory vs 6-6/7-5 with Nickel for example does nothing for you.

The most disappointing thing so far this portal cycle has been the failure to get Perich and Biles, we really should have went all in on those two (and maybe we did but whiffed, hard to tell). This is lining up very similar to when UM basketball made the Final 4 and then couldn't capitalize.

Couldn’t disagree more. Sam is a stud. No one had more of a concern than Beck. We have a shot at the playoff again you pay big.

I dont think 4 million is the number

cam Coleman just got 3-3.5 million as a WR according to Shannon terry

sorsby reportedly got 5 million

leavitt is the last one standing and he may be waiting out Dante Moore to increase the bag more

this may be 5-6 range (still worth it if it gets us to the playoffs imo)

Go for a walk and eat some protein. This post is so soft. Miami is reloading. Nobody is going back to winning 8 games

The fact that we are going for a QB in the portal heavily suggests that they dont think they have the right guy in the building rn.

This isn’t revisionist history when I say I checked in on Beck with multiple people that would know. I even posted about it when he committed. I never heard bad teammate or anything toxic / negative with culture . It was always “ he was to himself , kinda quiet , not a vocal leader “. He just played ball and was to himself which rubs folks wrong for not being engaged.
 


idk man, this dude feels like a supergenius. he probably got this announcement timed up for some hype.

Hey dude, you waking up tomorrow isn't guaranteed. If you're looking for absolutes and guarantees you're gonna spend your life disappointed. Signing a QB earlier in the portal window isn't guaranteed. Signing the #1 QB out of high school isn't guaranteed.

Let's play a game called what's more likely to happen... the same guy who's hit big on a portal QB in the last two cycles and now has us in a natty after 25 years of misery not having a plan with a backup seems like a bad bet.

Kind of my point, looking at that portal QB list of who's left isn't anything to feel good about.
