Found this exchange on Omar's twitter:

@OmarKelly so after you challenge Al Golden for his comments on UM guys not being ready sure enough TS bwash and miller are still waiting..

Omar's response:

@THEcoachcourcy Real talk. Al Golden has a team FULL of fat players. Golden needs to worry about that and not the Canes in the draft.


LOL Guess Omar is not feeling AG

he's a coach at a local school (forgive me forgetting which one).

solid poster on the site.
 
talked with former Cane Claude Jones( who Ive stayed in touch with through the years after I did a story on for Canestime, ways back) and he was apalled at these guys decision and how it turned out. What got us laughing is the whole,'UM has a lot of poor guys from the inner city angle." Uhhh, yeah, just like they did years ago when Claude played( perhaps even more so when UM had looser academic standards). That somehow he played with a bunch of Huxtables amused us

I'll say this, the guys that played in that era( Claude played from 87-91) IMO, loved being Hurricanes, they really did. I think over the past decade UM has had too many guys who loved what being a Cane might do for them.

Good point. That's why I love kids like Chick, Duke, and AJL just to name a few. Those guys wanted to be Canes and IMO will do anything to succeed.

I agree with Kelly in a sense that getting a head start on your NFL career gives you a leg up getting some paid earlier and on your service time( every players' goal is to get to that 4th full season to start getting the full pension- I know this since I'm friends with Rudy Carpenter, who left the Cowboys practice squad in 2010 to get to Tampa Bay, which immediately put him on the active roster, which for him was everything)

But on the flip side, you talk to anyone in the business, they will tell you that first contract is key, because you can never get that money back that you lose in draft value and get locked into some really bad contracts half way through.

I would love to really get some honest answers from these guys that left early and hear what they have to say.

But I'll say it again, while these losses will hurt UM in the short run, I firmly believe for this program to be what it once was and where Golden wants it, they need to have guys who want to be Miami Hurricanes.

k9......well done as usual

i always hated that stupid NFL-U nonsense because it seemed to do more harm than good for the program

this most recent group of poor decision makers puts one of those negatives front and center

when you have a program that is at the top of the college football world.........kids who are statistical leaders for those programs will always get more attention....from the media......and from the nfl..........but that hasnt been the case in coral gables for close to a decade.........but nobody has made the announcement that NFL-U was condemned and boarded up........which is the reason these kids think that one good year in a mediocre program is the same as an equally good year at a top 5 or top 10 program

and i dont expect a friggin word from omar kelly at all......the guy has always been a hack who licked shantards ballas as often as possible.........but me thinks that when this discussion comes up again next year........that omar will probably find somebody else to try and throw under the bus

There's nothing wrong with the nfl u moniker. The problem is Miami has had the wrong coaches in place and for a variety of reasons weren't able to show these kids what made Miami NFL U (hard work, dedication etc) Golden looks like he can bring this aspect back but his x's and o's have me a lil worried.

Please. I don't ahve a problem with Golden and hope he turnes this thing around . The reality is his year 1 performance left alot to be desired. I though he was a n upgrade to shannon yet he loses atleast 3 games due to elementary coaching blunders. A pathetic first year performance here by a so called "experinced HC".

Agree with that bolded statement. jacory harris is a perfect example. Said the samething about Harris in 2009. So is Jordan Futch.
 
Omar is a troll. He's the example of everything that is wrong with the news media today. No brains, all bull****. It's people like Omar who surrounded these young men and gave them BAD advice which could ruin their careers. But it's their own **** fault for listening to stupid people and not being willing to put in the work. Miller was the only one who should have gone early because of his injuries; all the others should have stayed.

years ago teams could waste a few pics and work with building a pick to NFL readiness...now days you dont have too many shots. Teams need players ready to play from Day one. injuries are mounting up in the NFL with unions holding back a player from playing with just a hang nail..so depth has to make an impact immediately. Drew has a job to do and it sucks he is a snake at times, he also has made the U a place where kids did want to go...he was in the right place at the right time to help players make millions as he did. Kids still see Miami for its NFL ability....

Drew is as much to blame as the players the families and our society....the NOW mentality. These kids were all ON nfl teams other players were just better you have to face that...what was better for these kids, one more year in CFB or two years on a NFL team for getting ready to make a roster...who knows what one more year would have done??
I wish all the U payers success and solid write up...

it would be the honorable thing to write, wouldn't it?

But the last two nights were vindication for Golden, bottom line. He's too classy to say it out loud, but the results speak for themselves in many ways. Again, Miami must lead the country in 3rd day draftees who came out early. IMO, it goes beyond just USC having guys who grew up and came from the OC and had nuclear families. This is about the culture of a program which has lingered for years. There was a time when a UM player came out, it meant he was getting a hug from the commish.

Miami, as I've said for a long time, was more of an NFL internship than a college program.

To me, when Roscoe Parrish bolted early after 2004 to be a 3rd rounder, it said to me that the whole 'NFL U" thing had jumped the shark like Arthur Fonzarelli. And when alums( who played the game and can better understand where these players come from and went through) like Alonzo Highsmith and Leon Searcy just flat out openly state what a mistake it was for most of these guys to bolt, it's telling.

This wasn't a coach who was just looking out for himself( as some have said about Mr Golden).

Well, the proof is in the pudding.

Just wondering, what is Drew Rosenhaus telling some of these guys tonight? Is he even answering his phone? Yeah, these guys will get paid eventually and even craft careers, but ask yourself this: was coming out at this time the best thing for them? And Mel Bratton doesn't want to hear about any career altering injuries, sorry.

But tonight to me, can be a watershed moment for this program which has sent more players to the NFL combine in the past two seasons than the number of victories they have amassed. It's sad that young men like Lamar Miller, Brandon Washington and Tommy Streeter have to be the examples that we'll point to for years. But next time, maybe Golden and Co. wont just be looked upon as people who are just looking out for themselves.

Yeah, he's a bit more honest than a Rosenhaus or any other agent and just happens to know more than Omar Kelly. Imagine that.
