Issiah Walker

[CANE1775]

Easily impressionable. Took a visit to South Carolina before the dead period said he was all the way committed. Started speculation at The Opening camp in a video with Miami wristband. Back and forth between Miami and Florida for a while, believe a parent got involved but a ton of social media clout chasing. That’s not common with OL

This is the kid that did the interview with the reporter and said that he was going to take a visit somewhere but wasn't going to tell anyone where to. LOL I knew he was headed elsewhere the minute he made that comment.

They should vet him, but if mentally his head is not where it needs to be, it won't matter where he ends up.

He wants to be here that much is known. Do we take him? Tough question because in one sense you don’t want to allow kids to pull moves like this but the kids is an outstanding talent at a premium position.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Take him and redshirt ZIon like he should have been

 

[CanefaninBuckeyeland]

Talented player + position of need = take. The math works, right?

 

[Damiencane86]

Take him but allow it only with strict protocols/conditions in place: has to take a redshirt, starts at bottom of depth chart, etc. If he's not agreeable or if the staff isn't confident he's being genuine you tell him to kick rocks.

Some people on here aren't good at math

Yo the kid had it rough and was probably lied to at UF. Who knows what exactly it was but there are a plethora of reasons that you would be mad over. The degree program not being what you thought, housing, issues with class enrollment like telling him he needs to take certain classes he was told he wasn’t, maybe even a teammate doing something the shouldn’t have been doing and he wanted no part. All I know is the kid was never a headache or a problem his entire career and all of the sudden he goes to UF and he is. Some of y’all all really need some common sense. Why would a kid that never got in trouble here and wasn’t even a behavior issue in school all of the sudden has “drama”. Because UF is toxic and the staff are a punch of confirmed punks.

If he would wait to sign in the Fall, sure. JMO

You take him because we need OLs. If Fleming or Francois want to come back, you turn them down. Unfortunately, Searles and Barry screwed our OL #s.

Shouldn’t even be a decision to make. He’d be one of the 3 most talented lineman we have as soon as he stepped foot on campus

Why wait until fall? We WONT get another tackle prospect as good as him in the next 4 years.,.

Thank you. Any other position, we say no thanks. Our o line has been booty for years and this is a guy who could be a 3-4 year starter for our line.

 

[MiamiChris]

Searles didn’t recruit him, Butch Barry did.

Searals did recruit him first couple years but I meant Barry.

man we’ve had some ****** OL coaches

 

[MiamiChris]

Hey Mr. Insider...... So since you know he's a "bad locker room" kid, what's actually the main reason he's transferring?

kids only a freshman (not even) this is where we need good leaders to guide him into the right direction.

 

[millertime26]

LOL @ the ppl who's even considering not taking him.

 

[Ver]

Maybe his family just wants him home with everything going on, there could be a lot of variables right now

 

[Southside Cane]

If true, more reason why we should put blame on BB. There's plenty not to like about Searles but blaming him for Walker seems like a reach.

Well Searless and Richt wouldnt offer him. Walker was Manny first offer.

 

[TrueFloridian]

This kid is an absolute take. This shouldn’t even be a debate. We’d have the 2 best OL in the state from last cycle and maybe the last few cycles. You pair this kid with Rivers and the OL is at a championship level real soon.

 

[Canes2082]

Amazimg Mullen has won 10 games each year and 2 NY6 bowl games yet seems to have a toxic locker room every year

 

[RocketsandCanes]

Brock Berlin, Gerald Willis, Kenny Kadji, and . . . Jack Spicer all say let him in. Kid made a mistake choosing colleges. There are probably a ton of kids that transfer both ways between UF and Miami each year. If he wasn't a football player no one would blame him for wanting to go to school closer to home. This shouldn't be any different.
