It's not about offering a camp kid OVER somebody else. It's the fact that we'll offer a questionable kid that camped but not offer a local kid who excelled on the field.
I can't tell you all the kids who were passed up for camp kids cause I don't know what Miami's board looked like. Just off the top of my head...
Skai Moore wasn't offered.
Danny Dilliard, Larry Hope and Nate Dortch got offers over Fabian Moreau.
Dennis Turner, Nigel Bethel and Ryan Mayes got offers over Juwan Dowels.
Sean White and Wade Freebeck weren't offered but we offered Alin Edouard and Malik Rosier.
Now obviously many of those kids haven't played a down of college football yet so we don't know right or wrong for another couple years, but if I'm extending offers then I'm giving them to the kids who EXCELLED down here not just some kid who looked good running around in shorts.
Malik Rosier wasn't a camp offer. Coley liked him so he offered him. He targeted him in early 2013. He excelled on the field as a dual threat QB. They got their headliner in Kaaya later on. I don't see Freebeck and White as clear upgrades. I actually think Rosier has more physical tools. The trump card for you will probably be the offer list I assume.
You don't think Rosier is a questionable offer? A bit of a reach?
You'd take a kid from Alabama who has offers from the likes of Arkansas State over two local kids who have offers from Auburn, Florida, Vanderbilt, etc?
Who cares if he is from Alabama? South Florida isn't where great QBs are born. I've seen all three and I don't think the two are clearly better. One brings an element the others don't bring. You have a duplication with Kaaya, Freebeck and White. They got their traditional QB and targeted a dual threat it appears.
That's your excuse? They were targeting DIFFERENT TYPES of QB's?
Please.
How 'bout you just sign the best ****in' QB's in your backyard?
"Ehh we're gonna pass up the best QB in South Florida (White) because we already have a QB with his skillset. Let's go get some unknown kid from Alabama."
Lmao. Really?
So what if the QB's you sign have the same skillset! Who the **** said you have to have a roster full of QB's with all different skillsets. What's wrong with having a roster full of really good Pro Style QB's? What happens if White goes to Auburn and balls out? We say "Oh it's okay. We already had a QB with his skillset when he was coming out of high school." <--LOL
Its not an excuse. I like you don't have an idea of what their board look likes. Coley has targeted dual threat guys since he took over. That may be a reason why they wanted him. I don't know. But what does the " your own backyard" have to do with anything? South Florida doesn't continuously produce great QB. They liked Rosier better and nothing about his tape says Freebeck and White are better. SEC schools offered the other two. I get it. That wins every discussion.
