From chatGPT that looked up old articles.
đź“Ś Timing and recruitment context
  • Cam Ward didn’t officially commit to Miami until January 13, 2024, after spending weeks in limbo between entering the NFL Draft and transferring.
  • During that period of uncertainty, Miami wasn’t able to fully leverage Ward’s commitment in recruiting other top recruits — including Jeremiah Smith, one of the most coveted wide receiver prospects in the country.

đź“ž Ward actively tried to recruit Smith
  • Ward himself later revealed that he called Jeremiah Smith before his own transfer decision was public to try to recruit him to Miami.
  • Smith said he seriously considered it, and Ward believed that if he had already been committed to Miami earlier, it might have given the Hurricanes a much stronger shot at landing Smith.

Again....if Smith wanted to be at Miami he could have. Smith was never coming to Miami. He, like other SFL players, have used every excuse they could come up with at different times to say why they didnt come to Miami.

They have these weird financial instruments called insurance - UM would take out a large policy for him if he were to get injured and drop out of the 1st round. The kid is never going to worry about money, no matter what he decides, but the generational money comes from coming back, getting picked in the top 10, and then being successful to get that $30-50M a year second contract.

As has been pointed out ad nauseam, it's pretty much a graveyard for guys that don't have 20+ college starts.

The big, big money comes from NFL contract #2, which stats suggest is more likely to happen with more college starts.

If only we recruited top tier HS quarterbacks that people on here claim we shouldn't spend $1M+ on... Oregon has no problem signing raiola to backup moore and had moore to backup dillion Gabriel. Our QB room is a mess due to a refusal to spend the right resources for the most important position on the field. Every other big school has talent stacked at the position and we still keep playing russian roulette and it may finally bite us. Maybe this will finally wake the staff up... They were never okay with emory starting no matter how anyone tries to spin it... Their offers in the portal show that.

Meanwhile the NC will be won by a QB who came to their team in the portal for the second straigh year.

Yes Cam Ward received about $50 million guaranteed as the #1 pick. But again, the average risk-taker chooses a likely guaranteed $18-$30M over $6M with a chance at a guaranteed $50M. Think about what you would do.

Well, I'd be set for life with 6.5 mil, so there's that.

He could use the experience before going pro, really.
