So today I ran into one of our Wideouts that’s currently in the portal and got to talk to him for a bit. The kid was super nice and humble but you could tell he was pretty bummed about the UM program. In a nutshell he said the egos in the room were too big.. the offense hated the defense and vice versa. There was no respect for each other and no communication between the coaches. On top of that players were getting hurt for no reason in practice because of the way they were playing each other and kids with higher star ratings were put at the top even if they hadn’t earned it. All this created a toxic atmosphere which lead to the underachieving season. Like I said he seemed more sad about what could have been then mad. I told him I hope he comes back and he said maybe who knows. Anyway I thought it was interesting, also I brought up the new air raid but he didn’t seem to have an opinion either way since he is in the portal.

You may have talked someone in the portal but it wasn’t a receiver from miami

Canes don’t need more WRs, they need WR1s. Enough with the mediocrity and retreads at the skill positions, we need elite difference-makers, players other teams fear. We have none currently.

PWO or starter, this appears consistent with what we’ve heard for months:

- Players didn’t like each other
- Coaches didn’t like each other
- Players didn’t like coaches
- Coaches blamed players

Fix it.

Win.

Right - I don't know if this story is true or not, but everything in it is something we have heard before with maybe the exception of highly rated kids getting put at the top of the depth chart.

None of us have access to the portal unless there’s on staff (for us or elsewhere) on here who hasn’t made themselves known.

Know a kid, be connected to the tight lips, or neither. Point being: if you’re going to bash OP don’t bother citing 08/5 or on0 ******* trash.

Guess his parents came and pick him up
 
Wow! Last night I dreamed I was in the portal and I talked to a WR as well. He was quite happy with the Canes but wanted to try something different. He said he feels Dennis Erikson can win it all this year! Fingers crossed.
