Third string QB Question

[reg]

Nkosi is not starting. Y’all crazy if you think so.
Clean slate or not he is not good

Speaking of predictions, this is another great one!

I've got news for ya...(This coming from a noteworthy former UM player)...If the season were to start today...N'kosi WOULD be the starter....So it's really up to the other 2 too up their play....If things stay status quo...Then Kosi starts Aug 24th....

There is an article on another site about this very topic. The author uses a lot of quotes from Manny Navarro, from The Athletic, who recently went through a Q&A session with fans. Manny fully believes that N'Kosi Perry will be the starter against UF (about 30 people, from this board, heads just exploded) and according to the "people close to each QB" William's is the most likely to transfer in the fall if he is the third string QB. Navarro also mentioned that Tate would likely transfer at the end of the season, if he is not the starter because he would be immediately eligible to play, considering he will have graduated by the end of the season.

"Fully believes"? I hate it when agenda driven posters like you deliberately distort a quote to create a false narrative. What he actually said was "(r)ight now I'd name N'Kosi Perry the favorite to start against Florida. But the job is not set in stone at all and I think if he struggles, or anyone else struggles, the job will continue to switch hands until it is really won."

Random, but our locker room look like it's stuck in the late 2000's. Are there anymore phases of our facility upgrades? I know we have the dorms but I'm talking about for football.

You want them texas and oregon looking lockers huh

All 3 will transfer.

Problem with these predictions is when these dopes use fake sources “close to the program” in an attempt to validate their guesswork. If they say, “I have no real idea, but my guess is ____ will start.”

Once they start up with these lame anonymous sources, who could be a friend of a player’s dad or any other attenuated 5th party, they venture into soap opera land. When they do that, all they’re doing is trying to look more knowledgeable than they are in order to get clicks and gain a following. Unfortunately, the world is packed with dolts who think these writers are actually dialed in and have real info.

The good news is if that appears to be a narrative that is going around inside the program, I firmly believe it will push Tate and Jarren even harder. The fact that all 3 have a legitimate shot, but more importantly, the fact that all 3 actually KNOW and BELIEVE that they have a shot, will cause us to get their best effort in summer and fall camp. I think the problem last year was Richt favored Rosier heavily and though the competition was labeled as "open", I don't think Kosi nor Jarren believed they had a fair shot. I think it is safe to say that Jarren definitely didn't have a fair shot!

The lack of belief reflected in their efforts, preparation, and overall confidence, and in N'Kosi case, it showed up in the games! We won't have that problem this year, and that is one of the major reasons as to why I think we will have very good QB play this year, regardless of who is under center.

It became obvious that the bottom guy of the three was out when we brought in that ginger juco preferred walk-on.

it makes sense. Perry has 3 years left, martell 4, and williams 4. IF perry wins the job and is actually good, the other two will never see a snap till their last year here (perry loves college too much to leave after this season).

w williams, its likely his dad. his dad set up the UK transfer

we just redid the locker rooms a few years ago during golden (doubt he was a fan then). either way, miami will never be able to compete w those schools in facilities. what we've gotten since richt took over has been monumental. also, the school still has to build two new towers to replace the current hecht and stanford.

That's speculatory at best. I think it's more probable that Manny does not have a legit source. Then again, that's just my speculative viewpoint.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Ahhhh, gotcha. I mistakenly thought he was still the Herald.

Exactly. It's hilarious how Sabag is sooooo ****y at some of those pressers when the media there is less critical of him/his program than North Korean State Media is of Kim Jong-un.

Being a beat reporter for Alabama is almost as risky with Saban there, as being a North Korean negotiator

 

[Hoyacane1620]

Off the top of my head, Ivins, Underwood, and Navarro have all called their shot regarding who they think will be QB1. I'm sure there are others, I just can't remember. I don't even think the coaches know who the starter will be, let alone anyone outside of the program. You and I have just as good of a chance of guessing the starting QB's, and just like Ivins, Underwood, and Navarro, we don't know s'hit!

Pretty sure Ivins hasn't made a prediction. 247 has written articles recapping the spring practices and their impressions from the portions they observed

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

I don’t understand somebody saying somebody’s likely the starter now, when there have a been NO organized practices or anything much for the coaches to really evaluate since the end of spring practice. You really can’t evaluate these player organized practices for games starting purposes.

So where is the logic that player X is considered the starter now? Based on what? Can somebody explain that to me please.

It literally makes no sense for someone to player X is the starter if the game was today, when nothing has changed since the end of spring and they were all virtually tied.

If somebody can explain to me how this has happened, that a specific player has the big lead to be the starter, I sure would appreciate it.

Good call on the recap articles. I remember those recap articles because it was a lot of people on this board that were complaining that Ivins hated Martell and favored Perry.

As for his prediction, he was asked the question on a podcast. I can't remember if it was 5 rings or another one. He gave his prediction then. Like Navarro, I think Ivins and anyone else's predictions are completely bogus and irrelevant. The only opinion that matters is Enos and Manny.

 

[hotshot]

Martell's Spring was so disappointing it makes you wonder why Manny and Enos went after him so hard. (I mean, aside from having low expectations for the other two QBs.) Still ... were they just that enamored of his Gatorade POY/5 Star HS rating? Were they totally unaware of how inaccurate he was?

his dad is the one who did all the talking last december w the transfer stuff. there were rumors from UK that it was his dad communicating with the UK staff about the williams transfer. manny def has a source and regarding Jarren, the source will be right. he nearly left twice (after the bowl, before the bowl) and you think hes gonna stick around to be a third stringer behind two QBs w 3-4 years left to play? no

Considering facilities are a major factor in recruiting, yeah I would prefer the Texas and Oregon looking ones. That's what the recruits like isn't it?

One of these is the University of Miami and the other is Miami University. Take a guess

well coaches have said perry looked the most consistent throughout spring. williams and martel had their moments with martell being the worst out of the three. comp is far from over but i think it'll come down to Williams and Perry w martell being the odd man out

I get it. I remember when his pops was right in the center of Jarren potentially transferring last year. However, without knowing if pops is Manny's source, it is still a speculative viewpoint to assume its Jarrens father. Also, to answer your last question, no, I do not believe that Jarren will stick around if he is named QB3. It's not unreasonable to think that any of the 3 would transfer if they are named QB3. That's the nature of today's college football world.
