Cam Ward to Portal

[rsa coral gables]

you would think today is the day that Ward announces if he announces at all.

I feel like I’m Victor Timely in Season 2 of Loki walking on the beltway towards the temporal loom every time I open this thread.

Eventually Loki figured it out.... Have faith...

If Miami is actually offering 2 million plus I don’t see how he can turn down that and the opportunity to improve his draft stock playing behind best oline in his college career.

Would be nice to see carpenter announce today as well. Then the OL would really be looking even more appealing to a QB

I still think today is just Miami's alledged timeline. Ward has openly said his timeline is measured in weeks. I expect nothing today, personally.

Now maybe decides they want to explore other options e.g. the USC kid who just jumped in. Maybe that happens this week. Ward though, not holding my breath.

Yeah I mean the kid said Christmas right?

Christmas is a week away so I think his announcement could be any day.

Ward’s are playing chess, not checkers. Mario’s lost his leverage and needs to gain some of it back by sticking to this “supposed” 4 PM timeline today.

At this point there’s no reason to even speculate on when we’ll hear anything.

The guest recruiting guy on the Locked on Canes pod said Miami offered cam a ton, but they wanted more.

If this is actually the case, it sounds like a negotiation tactic. No one is going to offer more NIL money than we are, not a better OL, RB, or WR situation to walk into. I believe Ward ends up here.

Where is he going to get more?

All depends on Ward’s other options at this point. Does FSU match us? Is he likely to be drafted high enough to match our NIL deal?
If so, we better increase our offer. If not, he can kick rocks because he doesn’t have a better option.

What's going on here?

Believe the realistic options that Ward is evaluating seriously is UM vs NFL. Believe the Noles go with Lagway with a much lower NIL expectation in the $750K range.

 

[The U is back to work]

if Miami is offering a big NIL deal that they think is more than FSU and offering a system and OL to make him look good - make a decision already!

This would explain why the decision is taking longer than if he was just picking between schools. The NFL does not have a Wednesday deadline.

If you are correct, and your position seems very plausible, I think the Ward camp told UM as much, and UM felt the final decision will tip towards UM over NFL prognostications. This also explains our lack of interest in other transfer QB’s. If it does not work out UM may live to regret not having a viable back up option, but sometimes you have to go for it.

Gaby just put out an article highlighting how the staff has respect and have been intrigue in KJ jefferson. For now they are focused on Cam Ward and Will Howard but it seems KJ is the QB3 option.....
