Keion Payne

I'm gonna say the same thing I said a few months back on this board....Payne was a classic Randy Shannon recruiting special. A guy who doesn't have anywhere near the talent to play at a big time university. I know it's only one play and I'm honestly not a knee jerk guy but that ridiculously embarrassing play vs FSU was just a mockery. I saw everything I needed to know about that kids' football instincts on that play...and that's just something that doesn't get better with time, you either have it or you don't.

I think I know the play you are referring to and it was Kacy Rodgers that you are thinking of. Is it the play against FSU where Manuel lofts one into right corner of the endzone close to the goal line and Rodgers(the safety coming over to help) froze and made no attempt to make a play on the ball resulting in a TD?


After that play it was apparent to me that kacy rogers had no bidnizz being on a D1 roster. The effort was so pathetic that I refuse to capitalize or correctly spell the kids name. :)

Worst CB I've ever seen practice. Really WOAT. We passed on Cody Riggs for this bum. Peace ninja. Go to FIU where you belong


No sense in back tracking now. You used to argue with that awkard chump about how Payne was better than Riggs.
 
But but but Payne was the best DB that came out of STA that year. Some of our own swore up and down that Payne was not only better than Riggs, but better than Joyner.

cityboycane said that...

More than one said it.

Many said that and actually believed it. Riggs and Joyner were way too short, and Joyner had a TD caught over him(in reality it was an amazing catch and a great effort by Joyner). The years of following this team has left me jaded and rarely do I believe any of the hype because a majority of our fans are bonafide retards. Thompkins is about be an All American for a 4th year straight, and Jacory for Heisman. I could go on and on. The kid I feel bad for right now is 3G, he is gonna be a very good player for us, but so many think that he is some pass rush specialist. Seen a couple guys state he is better than Clowney; its like they dont even watch the games....
I say this here, because while this board is new it is light years ahead of anything else out there.

Nites, why show your face in this thread? You argue that Shannon built Miami back up but he signed Payne, Davis, Davis, Anderson, and Rodgers as his DB class in 2010. Rodgers is the only guy left and he's shown very little.

Your point is meaningless. Recruting/ team make up is evoling meaning he could have adressed those issues at a different point in time. This is no different than ohio st in late 90's iirc when they brought in DB's richard mcnutt, bobby britton, harlon jacobs, curtis crosby, maurice lee and will allen and only will allen did anything. The DB issue was addressed in later classes ie switching chris gamble from wr to db etc.


Shannon built the team up talent wise from the time he took over to the time he left rather you wanna acknowldge it or not. The nfl draft, all acc selections, guys starting in the nfl are all that are needed. They speak for themselves.

Too be honest its not like Riggs would have helped us... The kid works hard but he's very suspect... Lets be honest if we would have signed Riggs and he performed like he's doing at UF our fanbase would have went in an uproar... One thing for sure at least he contributes to UF... Payne never contributed because he was always doing something stupid... I dont understand... The 2010 class was talented but was ridiculed on so many levels and these guys never used that as fuel... The 2010 class should have been proving people wrong...
 
**** why didnt golden bring some of his players from temple with him. those guys played with heart unlike the **** i seen on the roster last year.

Breaking Down the 2010 Class:

Darion Hall
Storm Johnson
Keion Payne
Tavadis Glenn
Andrew Tallman
D'vonta Davis
Kevin Nelson
Travis Williams
Jermaine Barton
Delmar Taylor
Jeffrey Brown
Latwan Anderson

Either never made it in or were kicked off the team. How many of those guys are/or will be in D1 programs in the future?

That leaves:

Sentrel Henderson
Asante Cleveland
Jimmy Gaines
Kelvin Cain
Brandon Linder
Chase Ford
Allen Hurns
Eduardo Clements
David Perry
Tyrone Cornilius
Stephen Morris
Clive Walford
Kacy Rodgers
Maurice Hagans
Jonathon Feliciano
Shane McDermott
Malcolm Bunche

Obviously the OL is well represented with Linder, Feliciano, Henderson, McDermott, Bunche (who came in the next year), which possibly could be our starting OL. There is some potential there but its a do or die year for a lot of these kids. Still hitting on 18 of 30 kids is not good, especially when a few look like non factors and one already graduated (Ford).

That's the dumbest **** I've ever read. You are saying its fine to absolutely tank a whole DB class because you can address it later? I can see the line of thinking, "Wasting 5 scholarship is perfectly fine, we will take care of it later. No big deal. Don't worry that monster DB class of Davis, Davis, Anderson, Payne, and Rodgers will add well to the previous monster DB class of Brandon McGee, Jamal Reid, Prince Kent, and RRA."

9 DBs in 2 years and 3 are left on the team, Brandon McGee, Kacy Rodgers, and RRA, all of which have been disappointments leading up to this year.

What a DB class it was: Keion Payne, Jeremy Davis, D'vonta Davis, Latwan Anderson, Kacy Rodgers

Honestly that is pathetic. BTW, 12 kids from the 2010 class either never made it in or are off the team. Go RANDY!

Wow. Somebody kill that guy. He single handedly tried to murder this program


All right, my first IGNORE USER on this site!

Lmao... why?


"Somebody kill this guy"??
"not impressed" when a soldier shows Hershel Walker throwing up the U??
How can you ask why?
Try ignoring him and see how much you enjoy this site.

His posts are a waste of bandwidth.
