Good for you. He was a national top 10 5 star recruit and both UF and OU wanted him badly. To pretend he was a reach is ridiculous.

Great post OP.
The Portal neutralizes a lot of these issues, you can’t really oversign in today’s era because if a kid signs with a team where he’s promised he’s gonna play early & he doesn’t, he’s gone. The Portal levels the system, it allows you to supplement losses & it naturally thins out bad evals & overcrowded rooms per position.
Also, the best way to settle an overcrowded room is to play the young guys, meaning, position units only become overcrowded when you have a bevy of high ranked underclassmen who aren’t playing which creates a logjam because they’re waiting behind a Super Senior. If you got a position group with a bunch of 5th & 6th year guys who aren’t really good players, all yo have to do to remedy the situation is sit their old asses on the bench & let the True & Red Froshs/Sophs get the reps, then suddenly your room isn’t so crowded.
We had a crowded Safety room, then we finally sat Gurvan Hall’s *** down & Bolden got hurt, then all of the sudden the room thinned & leveled out. Same with the WR room, once we finally moved on from Wiggs & Pope, the WR unit became strong with two solid vets in Harley & Rambo & 5 young pups.
The CB room IMO can’t be overcrowded as it stands because aside from Stevenson, the rest are barely playable & are rotational Dime package kids at best. If Miami is really going to turn a corner as a team, we should be playing 3 (possibly 4) brand new CB’s next year.
The only thing that will mess that unit up is continuing to play bums like Ivey or not forcing guys like Couch & Clarke to have to actually earn their spot, giving bad players shoo-in starter reps is what can really debilitate a position group.
