Portal. We need players that can contribute right away. Right now the assignment is to win 10 games again next year because as constructed and I’m terrified what I’ve heard about who is transferring out, the wheel might just fall off.

Pickett and a bunch of these 25 kids don’t help us win next year and if we don’t win, then they will transfer out anyway.
Attacking the portal for starters is more than fine with me, as long as they're bonafide starters who make a difference. Stubbs $ should still go to Pickett imo.

The $ we have coming off the books just on defense:
Meesh
Jaden Harris (god willing)
DPJ
Kiko
Wes(god willing)
Alderman
Mesidor
Baron
Barrow
Clark

That should be able to help land top level talent in the secondary and AT LEAST 1 starting LB and a contributor.

I believe the young guys will be way better next year at the very least they are far superior the athletes we had playing this year so one would think we would make more tackles in space leading to better outcomes on drives. Now we won’t have the #1 O tho

LSU just lost a 5 star CB, does this better our chances or worsen our chances? Wasn't Pickett's whole motto that he wanted to be surrounded by good players, if Mario can pitch that we'll get elite players in the portal, shouldn't Pickett be all in now?

It really could go either way as it can make them desperate to overpay, but it also could just be the canary in the coal mine that no amount of money could change DJ also bailing Because if Miami is going to overpay for one player this year, it’s going to be DJ

Yes. they will overpay for DJ AND Hanks.
 
One thing that should be looked at is chasing other teams legacy kids .is it worth all the time and trouble . Correct me if Im wrong
But we dont get many do we ?

Again, we won’t be outbid here. If he doesn’t sign with UM, it ain’t because of money.
this. We will spend for DJ, Hanks and probably toney. if they go elsewhere, it's not money. I said to people weeks ago, Mario won't be shaken down by certain kids. Stubbs fell into that category. Btw, we upped it to keep Toney.

+ the potential transfers currently on the team would = even more money opened up. Even if all the names rumored don’t hit.

It’s all in on the portal ala FSU (quite ironic), but we have to be incredibly more active in the winter window than last year. We can’t wait for the Spring.

Yeah we're not in a position to wait. ESPECIALLY if ESD doesn't go our way. We need to act ******* fast.
 
I am no insider but it seems like this kid isn’t even giving us the time of day. We actually still alive here?

Honestly, I’m not going to count Mario out of any recruitment until tomorrow. As vocal as I am against him right now, particularly if he can’t recruit, he’s at least earned the benefit of the doubt regarding closing last minute.

So until tomorrow comes and we don’t flip multiple prospects, I’ll at least remain somewhat hopeful…even though I’ve been pointing out warning signs for over a year now.

Like you said. Portal time. If we flop there, we are looking at another coach on the ropes and no money to cover it. Life as a cane
