Again, only Miami fans remember us winning 10 games. It doesn’t mean jack to the rest of the country.

The only thing the country, media and fans remember is once again, Miami vomiting all over themselves when they were in the drivers seat with the best offense in America. All the hype, all rhe Cam Ward darling talk, culminating in losing 2/3 to unranked conference teams in Georgia Tech and Syracuse, 3/4 if you want to throw in a meaningless bowl game. Nonetheless, the most recent memory is losing three of your last four, all on national television.

Win meaningful games sure, but make the postseason and get to the Playoff….or find a coach that can.

Agree but as you know he’s going to be here for a while. At least he stabilized the program. That’s the positive I can take from it. A low bar but that’s all I’ve got.

I’m pretty confident many of our fans would want us to punt on 3rd down because “there is no way we are getting the first down”.

Trumpycane wishes the defense could just let the other team score last year instead of wasting 2-8 minutes of our lives so we could get the offense back on the field

Yeah they can’t ignore us. Is it working? Are you going to leave him on ignore? 🤣

Not sure if it worked but he was on my list and I can ignore users. I removed him from ignore and I wasn’t on his list.

This won't be everyone's favorite update, but I need to give it like I get it.

Bottom line- I don't get the sense we're headed for a blockbuster two weeks. The message I'm getting is that the plan is to win key some battles, go into the season with a healthy class, perform on the field, and then take it to the next level with flips.

We saw that happen in the Class of 2024, and we saw it go the other way in 2025. So we'll see. This is a unique era in college football. There's a sense that if they go for broke now, they'll be in a worse position down the stretch and potentially create issues within the roster. But they also need to go into the season with a high-enough floor. Here's the latest:

- I continue to get confidence on RB Derrek Cooper (Chaminade). He remains the top target on the board.

- I"m getting less confidence on WR Tristen Keys (Hattiesburg, MS) than last week. As we've said, this is a high-profile recruitment with every school thinking they have a chance. Miami will continue to push until the end.

- Nobody has any clue where WR Calvin Russell (Northwestern) is headed. One of the more up-in-the-air recruitments in a while.

- The Canes are battling hard on S Blake Stewart (Atlanta). Clemson is a top contender but it's not a foregone conclusion by any means. He is a big priority.

- OL Breck Kolojay (IMG) is continuing with his process. He was pretty candid in his last interview with on3 that he's monitoring NIL deals and weighing different factors between Miami, Georgia and USC. That's a very professional process and Miami is battling.

- Miami has a good chance to flip CB Brody Jennings (Jacksonville). They have coveted him throughout this process.

- TE Heze Kent (Brunswick, GA) is still communicating with our staff. Texas and Florida are in there but Miami is alive. TE Zachery Turner (Dallas) is trending away after SMU took its financial commitment to another level.

- The Canes are also in the mix for DL Bryce Perry-Wright (Atlanta). That one is up in the air and will be decided over the next few days.

- On the football side, there is huge confidence from those observing workouts. They believe this is the best, most complete roster we've had in the Cristobal era by a good amount. I continue to hear rave reviews about Carson Beck's arm talent and overall skillset.

Glad to hear that he’s progressing nicely.

Guys rarely flip anymore in the NIL era. No clue why the staff would be banking on that

Just my opinion, this is such an over used talking point that isn’t that true

2025:9
2024:7
2023:7

2023: 2

-LSU

USC
2025: 14

2023: 3

Based on these trends, I would argue there’s more flips in recent years then before

It would look the exact same as it does now.

Clemson during the Tommy Bowden era were a perennial 8-4 team, they weren't winning sh*t until Dabo showed up.

Mario is not a 1st year head coach coming into his first season at Miami, the whole narrative of having to recruit against a backdrop of 20 years of losing is a cop out excuse. He's been here for 4 years now & his first 3 seasons, he had one winning season, it's nobody's fault but his own.

Not Manny Diaz, not Mark Richt, not Al Folden, not Randy Shannon, not Larry Coker, not Butch Davis, not Dennis Erickson, not Jimmy Johnson & not Howard Schellenberger... Mario Cristobal is responsible for HIS team success & HIS recruiting.

It's absolutely imperative that Mario wins 10-plus games this season and gets to the ACC title game this season. you do that, you're probably in the playoff

This thing can't move backwards. This is such a key season for Miami football

If we want to land WR1s out of high school we need to start gettin our receivers drafted in the first three rounds more often then we have. We could of made the playoff an all that good stuff and a 5 star WR still would think twice bout coming here after watching Xavier Restrepo & Jacolby George
go undrafted.
