SIAP…Rashad Fenton

Golden had a quote the other day in an article about Corn Elder joining the basketball team where he said something alone the lines of, "Most teams have 10 scholarship corners...we only have 5."

This spectacularly incompetent, program-ruining ******* tried to make it seem like the sanctions were to blame for our lack of CB depth. When you willingly choose not to recruit arguably the best corners in Dade and Broward, respectively, due to an inexplicable belief that measurables outweigh everything else, you create your own depth issues.

This board has been lobbying on Fenton and Hoggins' behalf for months. The staff, thinking they're the smartest ones in the room, stuck to their guns. And what do we have to show for it? Absolutely nothing at CB. As much as I want Fenton to end up here, he should absolutely tell Golden to f*** off when/if they offer him at the last possible second.

Good enough for Auburn, UF, and South Carolina. But not for 6-7, ACC Coastal basement-dwelling Miami. SMFH.

Balling against the Pats tonight and they've tried to pick on him

Man the Golden staff had no clue what they were doing

2015 Class we took Terrence Henley and missed on Fenton

Literally was going to bump this thread! When he had that pick off & took it out the end zone I was legit cursing Golden. Low key, USCe has been producing some quality players.
 
To be fair this wasn't a Rumph miss it was a Paul Williams miss. But lmao at this thread.

Fenton was a solid contributor at South Carolina & is currently balling in the league while Marcus Lewis was a bum at FSU, went home to Maryland & did nothing there.
 
To be fair 2015 was our best DB haul we had before this current one.

Michael Jackson was a solid contributor all 4 years & is collecting NFL checks.

Redwine was a running gag at CB but moved to safety, beasted, was a 2nd round pick & currently starting for the Browns.

Jaquan was the heart & soul of this team, got drafted & is currently a rotational DB/special teams ace for Buffalo.

Robert Knowles was athletically limited & rushed too early, but he worked his *** off all 5 years, had a decent RS Sr season, made an NFL training camp & played hard for the fanbase and his hometown.

The Terrence Henley take was retarded but was done because we missed on everyone, and underrecruited the aforementioned Fenton lol.

Taking away Henley (who I don't really count anyway) we were 4 for 4 on guys that came here & contributed. I'll take that everytime.

Some thoughts...

* The drop-off in Jackson's senior year was noticeable, but he was great as a junior and still ok as a senior. Solid contributor overall.
* Not that it matters to me, but Redwine was drafted in the 4th round. At UM, it took some time to find his niche, but once he did he was as a very good player for us.
* No argument on Quan. Great Cane.
* It's intellectually dishonest to ignore Henley simply because you disagree with the take. Facts are facts. Staff took him and it did not work out. That is a miss. The fact he should have been at FIU and we under-recruited Fenton (who worked concessions at the **** stadium) only makes it a more ridiculous take and miss, IMO.
* If you are counting Bobby Knowles as a hit, then the bar is pretty low and almost everyone who doesn't transfer is going to be a "hit". Credit to the young man for improving his game and playing at a serviceable level in his RS senior season, but that's just not what a UM safety is supposed to look like. His career simply did not meet the standard.
* They went 3 for 5, but there wasn't a Homerun in the bunch (Quan came pretty close). But compared to pretty much every other position group in that class, the hit rate on recruits in the secondary was actually pretty strong, lol.

For the most part you're right. Knowles however, if we're being honest wasn't Miami quality. He did improve vastly since Banda got here and in year 5, he was finally productive. But we were hurting on CBs and I remember Fenton was a guy many were clamoring for. Now, he's a SB champ playing on the Chiefs.
 
That 15 class was horrible we had fenton,carlton davis 2rnd pick,damon Arnette 1 rd pick, McFadden all American, DeAndre Baker 1rd pick Thorpe winner all those guys in our backyard that year.al golden has been the worst coach in canes history.
