CB Ethan O’Connor commits to Miami

[Kjdcanefan]

I'm ready to be hurt again.

 

[JHallCanes]

I ain’t into making excuses but if we opted not to pay guys like Stubbs/Pickett etc and went this route instead

I can’t complain about the results at all

 

[JayCane20]

On3 has us at number 4 in the transfer portal rankings with only 10 commitments . Impressive

10? Who the **** did I miss?

Poyser, Daniels, Blay, Karnley, Brantley, Brockermeyer, Bauman, O’Connor…

I guess they’re counting the long snapper and kick off guy? I didn’t even know they rated those guys.

Miami added one of the best young ballhawks in America with the commitment of Washington State transfer CB Ethan O’Connor.



The 6’2, 175-pound redshirt freshman totaled 32 tackles, 8 passes deflected and 4 INTs. O’Connor is rated the #2 corner in the Portal by On3.



The Irvine, CA native played 755 snaps and appeared in all 12 games for the Cougars. He has been timed at up to 22 MPH and also brings special teams value (72 snaps). A source said O’Connor’s loose hips will allow him to cover all over the field, and his ability to create turnovers is sorely needed on a defense that ranked 80th in takeaways per game.

O’Connor has three years of eligibility. He joins Charles Brantley and Emmanuel Karnley in Miami’s remade CB room. Miami would also pursue a talent like Xavier Lucas if he were able to enter the Portal.

Get a QB and the Branch Bros and the lies will start flowing.

Seems like Mario liked the team he had last year and is trying to make it even better. Get some kind of QB in here and I’ll believe we can make another run at the playoffs in 2025. Because there is a serious amount of talent on this team right now with these portal additions.

I could use a Spaten or Optimator but for some reason it is hard to find in Florida.

Anyways, nice pickup on O'Connor.
He's a good one.

Mario took DB recruiting personal, just in the portal no during the HS cycle.

I definitely like the approach. Got a bunch of guys with experience but multiple years of eligibility left. Clearly the guy wants to win next year and didn’t want to risk high rated HS DBs; chose the expensive experience instead of the expensive HS kids.

Huge. Big, big fan of this one. We have multiple legitimate perimeter COVER guys on the outside, can’t believe it.

Imagine if we’d done this last season

At some point WSU’s coach is coming for Mario with a hatchet. But hey, it could have been worse if Mateer had also transferred to UM.

Their coach just left for Wake Forest so he’ll have his shot soon enough.

Definitely. If he had said that after the HS class closed everyone would have lost their minds, but it worked.

Recency bias is quite a thing. As if they haven’t taken countless prospects from us over the years.

I bet brown transfers if Lucas does end up at Miami.

Room will be too crowded for him.

Lucas might be playing safety or brown should move to safety which i think he would be better at

 

[nycane]

We are also adding guys with a lot of eligibility
