The Bank (12/10)

Man that name hurts! devastated when he didn’t commit here.

I just wasted 15 minutes and went back to look at the top 100 lists from 2005 and on, geez, a lot of names that never amounted to anything and players everyone wanted

It happens

Always like that. Getting a bit better with the 5 stars recently but certain positions they have zero clue still. OL especially.

epic disaster? Dude he is a WR. Who is the last FSU WR that killed us?

Peter Warrick?

If by "us" you mean Dillard's then yes

Who, among us, wouldn't take a 90% retail discount?

****, every few months I hear those big-baller CIS stories about how certain guys pay $29.95 a month for full cable programming packages...

Well, he's got the loafers on.

- Everybody inside and outside the Hecht is focused on the quarterback position. You already know the various names. All I can say is that I don’t expect Miami to settle for a second-tier player and I think a decision will come this week.

I would consider both of these players first tier on Miami's board:

Who gets the official offer first or do they both get an offer Wednesday morning and first one to send it back is QB1 next year?

It’s a good way to put pressure back on them that if they want in they can’t wait around. It’s a gamble it works but I like the aggressivness

 

[TheU32]

Didnt Rogers come on campus Saturday? And Howard was today? So Ward comes tomorrow, and they try and close it.

I have to belive that both have already been offered.

That looks like the cop that was photographed with Mario at Houston’s the other night.

Yeah but think a Jerry Jeudy type of player ... really HELPS an offense to have a reliable "catches everything" WR. Can make the difference in a game.

Absolutely. I think he could be that dude but the games have to be played. Right now he’s a highly sought after and very talented high school receiver. I hope we can land him, personally, I think he’s going to stick with the bucknuts, but anything is possible. My comment was more along the lines of, in the history of football whether you’re looking at college or the pros, a single wide receiver while important, is not the most important player in the aggregate. You’ve got your freaks here and there, but look at past teams, past games, past seasons. There are a lot of very good receivers and sometimes that’s all you need - a stable of very good receivers. Admittedly, something that we haven’t had in a while.

- This is college free agency. We saw that with Colbie Young, a good player who didn’t feel he was being offered enough money to stay. The staff is focused on upgrades and maximizing value.

If Young is entering the portal because he thinks he gets more money elsewhere, does he stay if he doesn’t get a better offer elsewhere?

What percentage of players in the portal think they’ll get more money elsewhere, don’t get the offer, and then end up staying?

 

[miamimike]

I hope we land Cam Ward will def make Miami an instant contender next season.

Until it’s time for victory formation

A couple thoughts on this...

1. Tampering is not supposed to happen, but we all know that it does - if Colbie played this smart he will likely have heard from other teams and have an idea what he will get

2. If I am Mario, I probably set a rule that says 'If you go in the portal, then there is no coming back' otherwise why wouldn't every player go in the portal every year? Why not test the waters and see if someone will give you enough money to make it worth your while to change schools. At the very least it has to be communicated that they will be looking for your replacement as soon as you put your name in the portal, so if they find someone and you want to come back, tough luck.

This is going way back but Emmit Smith was buried on depth chart at UF until a bunch of guys got hurt and they were forced to play him.

that’s wild, I never knew that

Bill Belichick and his Wally Pipp story will always be accurate, no matter how hoften it will be repeated.

I always wondered why we haven't leaned more into the Rick Ross relationship. Miami guy that's actually popular/known in the mainstream. Toss him a bag to drop a Canes verse out there or something.
