Miami Flo's Predictions

[HurricanesR1]

He believes somebody on the O line will medically retired in the offseason. (Antonio Tripp??)

Sometimes I forget Tripp is even on the roster.

 

[cowboycane]

Haven't we been grooming multiple guys to play C for a couple of years now? That's troubling.

Tripp and the Harvard kid. Sounds like one is hurt and one might not be ready to go next season. Sounds pretty reasonable.

 

[Brooklyndee]

Can't recall who also said we were looking more at younger players in the portal with 2+ years left instead of 1 and done types.

It's simple common sense that's all. Anyone that's played team sports understands the way teams get better is cohesion the way you achieve cohesion is more time together It's just simple logic. That's why I keep explaining to yall over and over and over and over again, The portal is not what we're trying to do. it is something we go to out of desperation. Fans obviously would love to see us in the portal for 22 starters each and every year. However that's not what we're striving for. We want kids that have multiple years together. Because that is the only way we will truly ever win s***. This one year thing it's not a good strategy long-term.

 

[Brooklyndee]

we should be aggressive in the portal for a DC.

In the spirit of this thread, I figured people should also be aware what the cookie monster has to say... He's got just about the same amount of validity as flo.

 

[Brooklyndee]

Ye

Were counting that as a hit for Flo? That such a vague hint. Did he say anything more?

Yeah, but Gaby doubled down on it!

Flo’s had some good hits tho.. I think he called Justin Scott last year when no else really shared the intel

Ok

He did, he said someone was coming and it was somebody big that nobody expected. They were just waiting for the papers to go thru before they made it official. A few days later or maybe even the next day it was Justin Scott

This one hurts, he was a big part in recruiting guys in the 2023 class. Must be a serious injury for us to not hear anything about him in 2 seasons

 

[Cylo]

Ryan Rodriquez being out for the whole season doesn't help. That only leaves the true freshman Nico. Not getting Connor Lew set us back a few years at that position

 

[Cylo]

Had a bat signal as his background on todays show.

Flo had the bat signal on? Wow, I didn't even pay attention to that. But he had a bat signal on a few weeks ago and that lead to nothing

 

[CANESCANES]

Flo has now upped his number from 6-8 transfers for the winter portal to now 8-10

He believes somebody on the O line will medically retired in the offseason. (Antonio Tripp??)

Flo would like to see Sam Brown to go hit the portal and go somewhere else

In the portal he believes we will go after on the defensive side 2 DTs, 1 DE, LB, proven safety, a legit CB and a CB who can play star/corner.
On the offensive side a starting QB, Center and 1 WR

Flo believes Cooper and Horton are coming back next year. He is worried of the current LB room, if Pruitt can add 20 pounds he will be a problem.

I agree with those needs. but think it’ll be 12-15 portal transfers in the winter and spring

 

[Cylo]

Flo just talking about the winter portal. If you combine it with Spring, ur number is pretty accurate.

I don’t understand why we would shy away from the portal, literally every top school uses it. Mario always says talent acquisition is the main thing so as long as talent that can help us is entering the portal we should be on it

Of course high school will always be the key to long term success but the elites recruit both at an elite level

#1 The elites don't regularly use the portal at an elite level at all... #2 It's not an issue of using the portal or not. You'll always use the portal simply out of necessity. But everyone needs to make a choice one or the other. Are you going to rely on high school recruiting and put your brand behind development. Where are you going to regularly do like Dion and go get everyone's pieces out of the portal. We aren't ever going to be the school that relies on the portal is the point We have been made our choice to go after high school recruits at a high level to put our money into high school recruits. The portal never know what you're getting into.

We're not trying to be another Mike norvell in the ***** holes another school that puts all of their chips into the portal and then has Mrs for whatever reason and they end up looking like this one and nine top 10 preseason one and nine week 10 sometimes we just have to pay attention and learn from the things you see going on around the country

What top program doesn’t use the portal regularly at this point? There’s way more that do that dont. Lets look at the top 10

Oregon. Osu. Texas. Penn state.Tennessee. Notre Dame. Bama before and after saban left. Ole miss. Georgia. Michigan…There’s more but yea all of those teams got a bunch from the portal

Maybe the negative connotation with it is because yall attach it to deion and norvell, its many other examples to look at so why focus on the those two rather than the top programs?

Nobody is saying get your entire roster out of the portal but it’s shouldn’t be looked at as an either or. It falls under the talent acquisition umbrella so looking at the portal and hs recruiting as a either or is wrong

Most of those teams i named also have also had elite hs recruiting classes for years and they still attack the portal. Its clear the blueprint today is there should be money and efforts spent on both if we are truly trying to be an elite program again.
