FWIW, Ferman is out there. He says Matthew Thomas looks explosive but underdeveloped, Olsen looks good, and that Kirkland is a beast.

My biggest disappointment of Matt to date. From the time he popped on the scene (spring of sophmore year) til now dude looks like he hasnt gained a pound. Not sure he is a hard gainer but more banking on being a 16 year old kid who cant get the amount of nutrition to help get his weight up.
 
From what i have read Artie Burns is gonna make a jump up in the rankings, especially if he balls out in the game.
 
Our safeties motto next year should be "anything you can do I can do better":
Bush,Jenkins, Carter, and Burns

Oh sweet jesus

Wassup cane fam who from our commits and targets do you guys think would rs if they came to us?

I may be alone but I think once Rueben Foster and Dee Liner take an ov they may want get swayed to the cane side. If that happens who would this board take those two over if we are taking 19-20?

Williams is a guy you RS and is 240lb by the time he sees the field. Would love him and Muhammed.

At this point we just need to find a Square/Nanton type

Square? I hope we never find a Square type again. That dude didn't make a play the whole time he was here.

I don't understand all the recent love for nanton around here lately either. He was not much better than mediocre by my recollection.

We should not forget that, unfortunately, a lot of the best prospects come from underprivileged backgrounds and it's not like it's an all u can eat buffet 3-4 times/day for them at their kitchen table.
It's like the Edge, when he would tell people that they had to go catch swamp rabbits for dinner.
Once guys like Thomas get to Miami with the unlimited training table of healthy foods and the superior body training then they start packing on the really good weight.
That's why you should never expect linemen or linebackers to start or even contribute significant playing time as true freshmen. They not only have to adjust to college life and the speed and strength of college opposition, but they have to transform their bodies.
It's all about potential and not immediate day one starting ability.

How does Burns compare to Jamal Reid?

Much stronger and more explosive. Reid had better ball skills, though.

I liked Reid out of HS, but he failed because he was too slow for corner, not physical enough for safety and wasn't focused off the field.
 
It would be nice for UM to steal AQM from the two teams facing off in the national title game . Go UM Our 6th ring coming
