Colbie Young Portal

[Bpayne32]

Writing been on the wall with this one play the young guys and get a nfl portal guy if one becomes available love Colbie but he’s a Jag

 

[CanesFan20]

Skinny? Lol he was 220-225 and had to lose some weight. And he definitely had power 5 interest coming out he had offers from Tenn and a few other teams

Colbie Young is significantly bigger now then he was in high school.

Rather it be X.
No offense.

Maybe he follows him out.. liked colbie tho, thought we could a used him more, #4 is open now, wonder if any recruit likes that number

 

[TallyCane]

This must be how G5 and lower P5 schools feel. We take a skinny WR that nobody knew about or wanted and developed him into one of the best big body WRs in the ACC and before his senior season he leaves.

Yep going to happen to all the schools that are deemed “have nots” can’t pay everybody. Heck UGA got bear Alexander and AD Mitchell plucked off there roster they could’ve used both vs BAMA. Until there is some sort of cap or transfer rules change this will continue to happen to all schools.

 

[skeeter]

This one stings…I hope we made a strong play to keep him.

 

[Koke]

Losing Restrepo would/will be a bigger loss imo.

 

[Highline17]

Kinda sad to see a guy we got out of JUCO and performs here to leave.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

If his dreams are to go pro yes he has a lot to lose if he comes back his stock will not get much if any higher. The degree I understand but I would bet Miami will take care of him.

LOL he’s not playing pro football. And this is from the #1 Restrepo defender on this site. When’s the last time you watched an nfl game?

I guess maybe if Belichick is still the GM in New England next year he might pick him in the 7th round but no serious nfl franchise is drafting him.

lol. The X slander reminds me of the Harley slander. Some people here really hate ultra productive receivers, assuming they'll someohow be replaced with more productive guys which never happens.

Yup. I get it ppl get attached but he’s bang average.

 

[Reyrey]

Does it hurt. Yea. But this is the era. He can be replaced. 3rd leading receiver. Good luck. Next man up

 

[Brickbybrick_mp]

Fine player but in the portal era he can be replaced pretty seamlessly

 

[BeastMode]

Shook?

Didn’t you just say Miami is losing a ton of talent and better start making moves? That sounds shook/scared.

You listed TVD hahaha yeah you seem shook

 

[Joe_thegreat]

Not a major lost we gonna have more speed at that X spot

 

[PRcane787]

Losing Colby stings, yes, but everyone talking about all this “talent“ we’re losing. Team went 7–5 last year. Mario putting together a better roster with deeper talent. We’ll be fine.

 

[CANEMC]

Soft.

 

[Zbrod95]

IMO he’s a solid receiver. I didn’t think we used him correctly this year. But he’s not very explosive. Reminded me a bit of LaRon Byrd. But this definitely hurts. Not catastrophic but he played **** near every snap this year and had a good season. Need someone on the outside to step up. Portal kid would be nice and continue to develop Horton to man that spot

At one point he was averaging 18 a catch the “explosive” stuff everybody keeps saying isn’t true. We didn’t use him right at all.

Somebody is getting WR1

 

[Jonnyblaze]

Players went 8-4. Coaching made them 7-5.

 

[bacane]

This one stings…I hope we made a strong play to keep him.

Would imagine schools operate off a budget & are careful in spreading NIL money. Maybe his price was too high & Miami sees the room as fairly deep with more young talent arriving in spring.

 

[USNAVYCANE]

He’ll come back
