Miami Hurricane Portal and Draft Entrants (updated 11/29)

Heard we might lose Brashard Smith.

That would suck

It is tough because he’s WR 4 behind X, George, & Young

And I’m sure Ray Ray wants more touches too

And Robby Washington. And CJ jr. And the 3 or 4 new WRs coming in.

As much as I think Brashard has been underutilized, Mario is making room for his guys. I doubt he fights to keep Brashard.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I like Ray Ray and what he can bring. I’m okay with Brashard going and Ny Carr coming in.

If he portals, best of luck to him but we can afford it in my opinion

 

[JOE'CANE]

Cutting fat and losing "JAGs" if that's the case can Mario hit the portal

 

[CANEMC]

Severely misused him. Electric with the rock.

 

[grover]

Brashard deserves to play more. Dawson/TVD misused him, and didn't use CJ, Robby, Ray Ray, Harrell or Skinner at all. Complete waste of talent.

 

[canesbrah]

Sucks…. He was a a true spark for the offense… his Aggie return or that clemson long run..

He’s WR4 though still… gotta hope RayRay or Robby can take that role and run with it like he did

ray ray is a faster brashard

This what makes me lol when I read mario wants his “own guys”. He chose to use manny guys over his own in many instances.

Yeah, "maybe" Mario has a marginal preference for his own guys. But there are a lot of Manny guys running around that Mario was just as happy to play. The bigger issue was philosophy (can't play TE if you can't block), scheme (virtually no big packages, no vertical packages, no fast packages) and routes that TVD couldn't hit. Regardless, we misused our talent woefully, particularly on offense.

That would mean fewer sets with our tight end who doesn't catch passes. Can't be fizical without a 6th offensive lineman on the field.

I gave your comment a emoji. But really the emoji is the better response.

 

[Canesx2]

Any news yet on Skinner? i was expecting him to be the first one out the door.

 

[Coach Macho]

How to you propose using ALL of those guys? (while also using TE's?)

 

[Coach Macho]

Honestly that's really the main issue. Guys like Brashard would see the field more if we utilized more 10 personnel.

But the fact of the matter is, most coaches aren't going to abandon a system that they believe in just to appease a couple players.
We're undoubtable more explosive with 3/4 WR's on the field but the staff feels that our TE's give us something in the run game. (IMO that's about all they give us)

 

[Torocane]

Are other teams not involved in Champ Games going through this too? We lost about six contributors yesterday. Is an Ole Miss, Tenn, or UNC dealing with the same?

I think a couple or at least one Georgia player has jumped in the portal.

 

[bacane]

Not to mention the 3 starters.

 

[Torocane]

Do we care about a pointless bowl game or do we care about next season? TVD declaring the portal early erases any hint of a QB1 battle for anyone in the portal who might be interested in us. We can do the full court press on transfers as early as possible now.

We care in the sense that we can give extra practices and a game to young players that might in in competition for a starting job next year. Prime example Harris at safety.
Its almost like a pre spring football camp.

Considering our tight end situation, we should have used a ton of 10 personnel. I know they want to run the ball but McCormick should not have been on the field for 90% of the offensive plays this year. I know Arroyo was hurt, Williams is a freshman and Skinner apparently fell off a cliff but forcing 11 and 12 personnel, especially when not in short yardage was counter-productive. Having such a one dimensional tight end really made us predictable.

Yea you can’t tell who either coached or played football beyond HS LOL.

if it’s up these guys they would have 10 WRs and a QB

Severely misused him. Electric with the rock.

Couldn't trust him as a route runner. Only way to get him the ball was a hand off, screen, trick play, or a slot fade.

Don't think the offense will miss him at all. Robby Washington and Ray Ray can do everything Brashard could do.

I think we miss him most at kick return, but I want to see Chris Johnson or Joseph back there anyway. I think they have more wiggle and top end speed.
