The Bank (1/8)

[Rellyrell]

I never reported that on the Liberty QB. My understanding is there were multiple character red flags there, which explains why he didn't land anywhere.

Sir, I never said u did.

 

[aelmiami]

**** this bank account is in worse shape than mine is. Portal szn is starting to rival the actual season’s ineptitude.

 

[DMoney]

Sir, I never said u did.

I know, just clarifying since this all gets jumbled together.

 

[passitback]

Why does it suck? He's experienced QB depth. Getting him or not getting him doesnt impact our pursuit of Ward or Taulia, or some other quality transfer if one enters the portal after Spring. So what is the downside?

It sucks because we can not land a QB with proven success via the portal. If we could land one, we would not be having this conversation.

 

[Reyrey]

Good luck trying to convince these guys otherwise.

For the record, Miami never formally saw him on the practice field. He was gone before that could happen.

Goes to ECU, doesn’t look as explosive as they thought he was, and passed the second time around.

Same thing for Little.

Why is that hard for people to understand?

This CIS, people have there opinion and that’s their gospel

 

[TriStarCane]

Wait, so there is a difference between portal and high school recruiting evals?

I think there is but again I could be misreading. Im not super concerned about these guys. They aren’t difference makers

 

[rayray]

He literally said they're continuing to pursue other QBs. Multiple. There is zero intention for this to be the only QB transfer they get. Until they get one, feel free to keep the trolls rolling. If they don't get one, I'll join you. But I've got a shiny silver nickel that says Emory, Jacurri, Judd, and Rosinbagger are NOT the only QBs on the roster come fall camp. We'll see.

Here is a fact the coaching staff would never say publicly but is true anyway: not only do we not have a reliable starting QB on the roster, we don't even have a reliable *back up QB* on the roster. if any of Jacurri, Emory, Judd have to play multiple games next year in a back up role the season will be screwed. for various different reasons you'd have to be crazy to feel confident in any of those guys as your back up QB. in particular w/ Jacurri, we've seen each of the last two seasons that this team has to run an entirely different offense with him and making that shift on his behalf is not viable, at least not for this coaching staff which isn't exactly filled with offensive whiz kids.

all of which is to say, if part of this take is the acknowledgement that it gives the team legitimate depth in a spot where it currently has none than I think it makes a lot of sense. having a high floor back up QB around to make sure that next season isn't derailed by one injury would actually be prudent.

 

[bdcane4eva]

Guys, guys...we just got our Stetson Bennett!!

 

[wnycanesfan]

They didn’t fight very hard to keep the guy.

That’s why he’s at FSU with every other left over DB from South FL.

Doesn't Little and Devonte Brown give FSU like 30 DBs on scholarship.

I'll give Mario credit for his HS recruiting. Two very good classes back to back. However, his portal recruiting outside of OL sucks ****. Not sure what the **** he's doing different, but we've gotten our *** kicked since he's been here. Manny navigated it better than him. Embarrassing.

 

[AllAboutTheU]

Listen Holmes, Saban & staff tried to convince Jr to stay, & Miami said no. What’s so hard to understand about this?

Did that come from Alabama people? Didn’t see that one

Because certain people want to have something to complain about. The same people knocking the staff for not taking this kid would be the first ones to attack the staff for "poor evaluation" if they took the kid and he didnt pan out.

 

[Meast21]

My wife LOL'd when i said we landed a D2 QB named Poffenbarger. O how far we have fallen. That said, hope this kid balls the F out and proves all of us (including myself) wrong.

Also reading between the lines, sounds like we whiffed on Ward, saved $2M (some may go to Baby Tua) and now have money to throw at other portal kids?..

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Bright red ******* flag when dmoney posts a link to a highlight of him dunking a basketball but conveniently leaves out the FOOTBALL HIGHLIGTS.

I sure hope he's nothing more than the depth guy I've been defending him as, because if he's our guy next year we're in serious ****.

 

[Alex Del Piero]

I don't think Alabama people spoke too highly of him.

What Alabama people think of our QB room?

 

[Rellyrell]

I know, just clarifying since this all gets jumbled together.

D$, u’re pretty straight. Do u sprinkle in some suga every now & then? Sure, but I’m pretty certain that

1. U don’t provide narratives, and what I mean by that is when u provide info, it’s not matter of fact, & when things change u r quick to give updates

2. Even when if u feel strongly on something, u’ll come back & own it.

 

[Millimac247]

And the hyping has started. “Blown away” “Baker Mayfield.” What a joke.

Don’t forget the pick-up game basketball warmup highlights

 

[rayray]

I'm curious how many people complaining about this evaluation are also people who were screaming for years that we need to hire Alonzo Highsmith because his GM level evaluations will provide this program with something that has been missing. are we off that now? I'm trying to get a temperature check

 

[TheOriginalCane]

D$ literally just said that they were still looking at QBs in the portal and you're gonna post Thamel saying "this ends Miami's quest" lmao

And then tell us what Thamel "meant to say"...seen this badkpedal a million times.
