not sure why all the hate, especially when we got Brantley, poyser, actively waiting Lucas, and chasing others as well - not like we're choosing this dude over another prime target.
let them battle it out, and get as much length and athleticism as you can in that secondary to avoid a repeat of this season

I'd be dipping my toe in the Portal water if I was a Miami DB on scholarship right now.
What's that, 4 DBs already, with us heavily linked to at least 2 more. Yikes.
I can agree with that. I’m not mad at all if he comes here and is CB4. Right now it’s OJ, Brantley, and then he’s 3. Need at least 1 of O’Connor or Lucas (if he’s even a corner) before I feel good about it.
Van Halen gets a lot of love, but still not enough in my opinion. One of the GOAT bands.
These guys to have one of the top CB rooms in the nation I love it

I don’t think Gaby knows lmao
Coach's fav Elton John song is "CANDLE in the Wind"
First 4 are god-like. I got into the darker albums (I, W&C First, Fair Warning) in my teens.
It's amazing to realize that a song ("Voodoo Queen") from their original "Gene Simmons" demo was still good enough to be repurposed on their FOURTH album...
The Brown Sound. Eddie's favorite album. Look at him play Michael's bass during the breakdown...

My bad. I mean Fair Warning is my favorite. Woman & Children 1st is 3 or 4.
Did Ivey come out and state publicly that he lost confidence due to fans roasting him on social media for his pathetic play? Dude had no one to blame but himself. Sucked *** in college.
I’ll also add, coaches have been garbage for a while at UM. Current HC just adds to the list!
I don't believe the nickel thing
I'd argue there aren't great Nickels in the portal. I'd have tried to tamper 10x harder for Ponds than we did for Lucas....What we are doing at nickel makes no sense so it absolutely makes sense.

I put a lot more weight on the opinion of people like you, @JayCane20 and @Memnon who have actually watched this guy play. There are also coaches from teams who play good defense (not UM) who value the player. That's the fun of this stuff, people have different opinions and we won't know until they develop.
Selling his potential based upon his measurables is one thing and who can really dismiss that but selling based upon his film that’s there, nah brah I don’t care what the “professionals” say. I know what my eyes
saw.
Yes, I saw some of the Kansas State, Utah (I'm a fan of KW), Colorado (for obvious reasons-Heisman battle) and Arizona State and he was underwhelming. For me, It seems like wash, rinse, repeat. Go after the Tony Grimes type (proven commodity) or a D Ponds type (young but showed he can handle the fire) with plenty of talent in the middle. I don't base my analysis/comments on other teams targets so I don't compare UM to other programs (Ole Miss, etc) just on filling our needs with players that can actually play the position.
I don't make comments based upon others (as demonstrated by my post count), I make them based upon my own assessment and experience. I played football-WR and baseball @Miami Central and in college years ago. Coached some too so there's that, like a lot of cats on the site, so not grandstanding.
Again D$, look at our track record with DB's, it's atrocious and they seems to all come out of barrels looking like this. It's DB (and WR) talent in the portal but we struggle mightily in these areas. We are actually sitting home getting ready to watch the playoffs after having the #1 offense and a Heisman trophy candidate because of the lack of DB play (among others) and it seems the staff has learned nothing.
On paper, this seems like a traits-based evaluation at a position where traits are very important. I am excited to watch this kid on Greentree and hope he develops more than other players we've had recently at the position.
Brown probably 3rd
Honest question…
Do you feel that Chevis Jackson can’t coach (and potentially help this kid improve) given how our corners played? Or is it that the players in the room were not P4 quality?
Could it be that Guidry’s defense didn’t help our DBs? (Like late blitz from deep safety vs Syracuse)

No, he never lashed out at the fans.
He just continued to work, stayed at Miami, and is now getting paid to play NFL football.
