I decided last week to do a thought exercise. A what-if...what if the transfer portal did not exist? What if the rules were like they were in 2018, where the only immediate transfers were graduate players. What might Miami's roster look like in this hypothetical situation?

This would also work for outgoing players - we've seen players like Horton leave before their time. What if they stayed. How much better or worse would Miami's roster be if we were reliant exclusively on high school recruiting.

The following comparison shows the current roster against the hypothetical. Players in orange are players whose 247 score was reranked when they went into the transfer portal in real life (where rerankings were available)

AVERAGE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE
  • 1.71 years (Miami Real Life)
  • 1.37 years (Miami hypothetical)

AVERAGE 247 RATING
  • 0.9016 (Miami Real Life)
  • 0.9027 (Miami hypothetical)

REAL LIFE MIAMI POSITION ADVANTAGES (RATING)
  • Running Back (.9064 vs .9020)
  • Offensive Line (.8922 vs .8882)
  • Quarterback (.9062 vs .8837)
  • Defensive Tackle (.9213 vs .9127)
  • Safety (.9093 vs .8881)
  • Cornerback (.9059 vs .9004)

HYPOTHETICAL MIAMI POSITION ADVANTAGES (RATING)
  • Tight End (.8975 vs .8846)
  • Defensive End (.9301 vs .9321)
  • Linebacker (.9059 vs .9002)
  • Special Teams (.7609 vs .6999)
Wide receiver is tied between real life and hypothetical

is the ranking what the player was ranked when initially recruited? if so, would be cool to see an updated ranking as each season progresses
 
Good Stuff.
QB, CB, and DT we'd be pretty ****ed for this year.
Of course if there was no portal we likely would have signed more out of HS and likely gone even harder after more top recruits, as more money is freed up.
If there was no Portal, I'd bet we'd have a top 5 ranked QB recruit on this roster by now.

Have a strong feeling we would have went hard after a Top 10 Quarterback in HS and payed him.

Better this way with the portal less bust rate. Pause
You can actually see who’s good from a lesser program that got overlooked cause qb evaluations are hit and miss even with the rating system.

He does, but I projected he would have graduate transferred from Miami.

Honestly I assume he would have stayed. It would have been another one of those situations where we're stuck with a quarterback because there's no one better like the Kyle Wright era
 
Mario's on the hot seat after another season of barely making it to 6 wins.
Dmoney probably doesn't leave his job and go fulltime for CanesInsight/Canes Connection Partnership.
