This visit has been planned for a couple of days, now. The QB portal domino's have fallen where they have and here we are. I hope we get him at this point, but they know they have all the cards. I will go ahead and say my nephew played college football with his Uncle. They were the best man at each others weddings. His Uncle and him can rub someone the wrong way, that's all I know. His Uncle has rubbed me wrong, with alcohol involved on both sides so no judgement on my end. A situation where I just asked, what's up with this dude? I love my nephew who is a good guy, but I know he can also rub someone he doesn't know wrong, also at times. We are all different and generations are worlds apart today. I haven't asked and won't ask about character concerns. I hope it is more of rubbing folks the wrong way or a few bad decisions, more so than character concerns. I am guessing that's the truth. Raiola may still be visiting Cuse right now. I don't know this either, but I think Sam my be watching Moore's situation at Oregon.

He might be able to throw during the spring in 7 on 7 stuff etc. That would at least help with WR timing etc.

Watching the highlight tape its hard not to like him. Especially appreciate how comfortable he was running play action from pistol formation where he actually had to turn his back to the defense then quickly scan and throw. Not a lot of college QBs can do that anymore with all the spread and shotgun sets. Even when they fake the handoff they are still facing the defense.

We dont need Leavitt to be ready to run until September.

Look at Miamis offense since Bech decided he was gonna start to run the ball. Beck has converted 4 first downs with his legs the last 2 weeks. and ran in the game winner. Unlocks another level, and Ole Miss still did not account for him on the game winner.

Sure.

While I’m at it, I’ll just post my bank account number, SS#, DOB, and my passport.

Anything else?

Vague slandering…FOH. Check my post history on guys I’ve taken strong stances on in regards to character issues.

No one is asking for your personal information, obviously. That said, seems lazy & damaging to throw out that someone has character issues without at least some general details. Trust our staff to do their homework.

Biggest difference is Levitt will still have the ability to throw the ball, thank god lol

Do you know anything about Leavitt's return from injury?

I know I am keeping my mouth shut because I love my family. Sam at Miami would be a literal dream come true for me, especially because of the playful banter I get being the only Miami fan here. I never thought something like this could be so close to happening, and I am thrilled that this could be a possibility. Everything is breaking my way these days, Go Canes. 1-0. Bring home 6.

I’ll go on the record.
If it wasn’t for the injury he’s the best player available in the portal.
The cancer thing looks like bs. The issue is the family agent thing.
Second would be Raiola/Tyson.

Everyone has issues. Even Tyson doesn’t have that much experience but shows he’s got grit and talent.
Raiola imo has an incredible arm talent but again has some family/camp concerns.

My choice would’ve been mestemaker but again it’s the inexperience and lack of a big stage games.

Really, really, really would like our QB to participate in Spring but I understand beggars can’t be choosers.

If we choose to look at it positively, Nickel and Coleman Competing in Spring. They can really hopefully grow during that period.

But lisfranc injury... idk man that seems potentially more worrisome than even Becks injury in terms of actually having a set recovery end date type thing... Really would hope it's not a super serious one for a guy who's possible biggest strength is running.

I’ll do it here.

+ Selfish teammate.
+ Wants more $ than he’s worth.
+ Arrogant during visits and making demands.

This guy is not good enough to do one of the three; he’s all three.

Selfish teammate - if that's for skipping the banquet, i might have done it too. Tough situation all around. If it's more than that, i could understand the label, but what is the "more". On the flipside he donated his NIL money for jerseys and such to the collective to pay his teammates.

Wants more money than he's worth? That's literally most players these days, or at least half. We see teams bending over for guys all the time. Wanting more is one thing, how you act in negotiations is another. If he's acting a fool, not his brother, that's different than his brother acting a fool and him not stepping in to control him a bit. I'm not saying it's one way or the other, but context matters significantly here as to who's the *******.

Arrogance i could possibly see. Many think that about Brady. I tried doing a deep dive on Leavitt after the rumors came out....message boards, reddit, x, everywhere. I found lots of quotes from teammates and coaches about his leadership and drive. With that, i also read he can be hard on teammates to be better. Some take that as good, some as bad. It depends how it's said/done and directed toward the other players. The other thing i saw was how he treats everything more like a business than a college team. That might rub some the wrong way as well, but the powers that be have turned CFB into a business more than a college experience or game. It's the HCs job to decide if that personality fits or is the guy he wants leading his team.

Him visiting so many schools is the puzzling part. Has he always been the #2 option for these schools, so they are playing the waiting game? Is he not signing bc he's trying to push the price up? Or is it these concerns? Time will tell.

Correct me if I’m wrong. Mesidor had a lisfranc and he was back the following season correct?
