Worse than spending millions on a high school quarterback who probably would have transferred by now? I beg to differ.

In the past three classes, there is exactly one Top 10 HS quarterback that has worked out for the team that signed him and that is CJ Carr (Sagapolutele sorta counts). I'd rather spend that money filling out the rest of the roster.

That's weird, because the same programs who do that still spend big on portal QBs.

And those same portal QBs have a market for absolutely everyone. It's not like we're operating on an exclusive table. Contingency plans are a thing.

This is not excuse-making, because Miami wanted him and thought he was coming as of Saturday.

But my personal opinion is that this kid is a disaster. Injured, inaccurate, and with red flags from here to Arizona. He would have been a bad pick.

The problem is we wanted him, and we don’t have a quarterback on January 12th. Not a good situation at the moment. Let’s see how it ends.

So not landing Leavitt is lighting the season on fire? If we have to sign the best QB in the portal every offseason to have some semblance of success we have bigger issues.

EW doesn’t win us a national championship. I’m not saying roll the dice and hope he does. But it’s not a far fetched thing to think a mid tier QB can come in here with collection of skill at key positions and win 10 games and have us competing for the ACC and CFP.

There’s always such a knee jerk reaction like we just think Mario is sitting in his office in the fetal position. Does this make things harder? Absolutely. Does it mean we should run around like the sky is falling? No. Both things can be true.

And from my viewpoint, overpaying for a QB who could very well do this exact same thing next year is poor roster management.

I’m not even a Leavitt guy, but yeah we’re dependent on landing one of the top QBs in the portal. That’s how Mario built this so far. Maybe we hit on a HS QB soon, but 2026 isn’t it.

I don’t see this strategy as a problem, but it does put pressure on the staff to get the eval right every year and on our NIL people to allocate the money needed.

We don’t have the skill-position rooms to elevate mid-tier QB play when the games get tough, and we’re losing some pieces on the OL. This isn’t the year to get cold feet.

We need to stack talent, take advantage of the momentum this year gives us, and keep stacking on top of it. The sky isn’t falling, we’ll land somebody.

Agree but there is a space between spending millions for HS QB and Judd Anderson.

It's not normal that you can't play any of the QBs you recruited from HS at the moment.

Mario has blown this portal QB to date.

Bailey is eveything Leavitt isn't from that standpoint.

As things currently stands Miami has about the 11th best QB situation in the ACC for 2026 season. Oof

This isn't true at all. Go look at the rankings and then tell me which of those teams has also spent big on a portal QB.
 
Look, there's no way that the 2 WRs that signed this weekend would be here with Emory effing Williams as the starting QB. Mario obviously has things going on in the background as we've all suspected. Somebody posted earlier today that Leavitt isn't telling us no (implying it's the other way around). And Cribby told us yesterday that the kid is quite a handful. So maybe MC just told his camp to eff off.

As reported by ESPN, the top quarterback in the transfer portal, Sam Leavitt, is reportedly signing with Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers after visiting several other schools.



The news came from ESPN's Pete Thamel, who mentioned on Monday morning that Sam Leavitt is likely to choose the LSU Tigers over other schools like Miami, Kentucky, and Tennessee, where he also took visits.

During the 2024 season at Arizona State, he passed for more than 2,800 yards, threw 24 touchdowns with just six interceptions, and added over 400 rushing yards along with five rushing touchdowns. Even though his 2025 season was cut short by injuries, Leavitt remained effective. He threw for over 1,600 yards, completed 10 touchdown passes with only three interceptions, and rushed for an additional 300 yards and five touchdowns.

Now, Miami will need to focus on finding a new quarterback. Whoever they target, they will likely pursue hard after missing out on the top quarterback.

This situation is disappointing... But we’ll see who steps up next.
