Of all the things that you could complain about, this is what he complains about?
I don't like his personal tweet at Beard, but he's 100% right about the young WRs. The WRs and QB are the only positions that haven't and don't rotate players.
Next year we face ND in game 1 and UF in game 3. There are only 2 possibilities. We either go into the ND game with a bunch of inexperienced WRs or we bring in portal WRs to play over them.
Either case is bad. Watch this space. D'Money and Pete are already holding podcasts talking about getting experienced productive WRs from the portal for next year.
Quite frankly, I'm sick of it!!! Let's be real. Mario is doing the same thing as Norvell except Norvell can't recruit high school players. Both are relying heavily on the portal which is taking snaps away from players recruited out of high school. Half of the portal transfers have not lived up to billing.
If Mario brings in portal WRs, JoJo, Ny Carr, Chance, and Ray Ray should all transfer. The coaching staff has failed them. None of those guys will have experience going into 2025. It's too late. The coaching staff did the same thing last year. They played only 4 WRs with Horton getting at least some snaps.
I'm not going to sugar coat this. It's a failure. When the transfers come in and we lose the young talent to the portal, we'll look just like FSU with a hollowed out roster full of portal transfers who may or may not pan out. Miami is already being negatively recruited against for the WR position telling recruits they won't play you and they'll add transfer WRs in front of you. None of the current WRs were recruited by Mario or his staff. Horton, X, and George are all from the Diaz era.
Hitting the portal for WRs is just plain lazy when the coaches have had this young talent that they've kept sidelined for an entire season. Wait for the portal to open when Mario will say we need to go out and get experienced WRs.
It's hilarious to me how our fans look at young talent at other ACC schools balling out and say we should have recruited them. I argue they'd just be sitting on the bench like our young WR talent we have now. Secondly, if our young talent were at the other ACC schools, they'd be balling out the same if not more than those other guys.
