Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

[flips]

We also offered him before he got hurt and took his commitment

Absolutely no way can you drop a kid like that after he gets hurt

Yup. I don't understand why some folks are like, "Taking injured I. Thomas shows that we should never do it again!" It's not a cautionary tale. We honored the offer and he left after a year. What's the harm in that? If Wallace is never the same I'd expect something similar to happen to him. Slimeto tore an ACL, once, which is rarely a catastrophic injury these days. Both of those guys have a ton of talent. Pretty clear with the way we are honing in on the secondary in the portal that we aren't expecting either guy to be a key contributor in '25.

Taking guys that are injured is pretty common practice anyway. Usually low risk high reward you see in free agency a lot. If it doesn’t work out not the end of the world and if somehow it does, then great

Rosters expanding helps the case since in the past it’s probably not ideal to risk it with limited rosters

But anyway, you get it. Different situations imo

We have different definitions of “uneven.” This was like”fiery but mostly peaceful”

Emory had a 100% success rate at handing the ball off in the bowl game

glad someone called this out. he is ELITE at it.

Should be a busy day at Coral Gables today.

You don't score a TD on the first drive of second half without an ELITE ball-hander-offer like Emory

 

[Problem2]

They’re going to

Like many have said, something has to be going on with our QB status.
With Branch and Thomas looking at us, we have to have something cooking behind the scenes

Eh, we had Singleton and Concepcion visit too. Doesn’t necessarily mean something

that's what happens when defenses respect your ability to rip absolute **** missiles at will. i'm told the canes haven't had a guy with this kind of arm talent since spencer whipple.

Money gets them in the door. Doesn’t mean we have anything cooking on the QB front.

Could’ve been selling them on Mateer possibly or someone else. I’ll say the more recent visits probably lend some credence to a QB in the works. There’s almost a zero percent chance these guys saw Emory on Saturday and said yea, let’s hear them out.

Have you seen his hand off with the fake bubble combo?

It's so bad that it is elite

 

[Calinative]

I must be drawing a blank, who is carter?

my bad this is like 5th time I've meant Amari Wallace and wrote Amari Carter lol

I wish he would have done it a few more times tbh

He doesn’t get enough credit for his throwing accuracy

He can knock a fly off a defenders face mask from 10 yards away

No worries. I figured I was missing someone. Started checking out the roster and commit lists. Thought I was losing my mind lol

His hand off game is so strong (temp pause), throwing the ball would be going against the gameplan 👁
