JUCO 2024 Miami Offers 6'5 JUCO WR Leland Smith

[jakobbee]

Like the eval on him. Big body with speed. Probably low asking price and maybe a chip on his shoulder. If nothing else he would push Horton to step his game up. Hope we get him. If the speed is verifiable then its a no brainer. I feel we got good wrs just unproven. Reminds me of when Alabama had all those young wrs with Jalen Hurts and just needed the right qb to bring out the talent. Tua changed that offense to more passing game specific and they took off.

This! UGA was tampering early. He threw a crazy number out there, that he knew we wasn't gonna get to. He didn't get close to that amount from them. Homie tried to make us overpay for his services. Our own player tried to get us to pay a "suck tax", to keep him. Bruh...

He ain’t good enough for that lol

He can go to UGA and catch 20 balls next year. Guy picked the wrong team to try to elevate his draft stock

yes please

 

[Silentobserver]

Why did we choose to keep dead weight on the roster with spots being so tight?

Still need bodies to run practices for Spring. If the deadweight is still deadweight, then they won't be around for summer/fall and being at or under the 85 number won't be a concern.

Is gore going to be on the squad next yr. Hopefully not. I was surprised more fat wasn't trimmed in the first portal wave

Think he graduated

 

[DC3]

I’m going to need to see him dunk first to judge if he is athletic or not.

Would be a good pickup as he brings a different body type (Pause) to that WR room.

Here are his highlights^ seems fast and obviously towers over everyone.

If we’re not gonna throw jump balls in the end zone then don’t waste time worrying about height with receivers! For some reason our last 2 offensive coordinators refuse to do this’

They use to do it. They just stopped. That's how Cobi Young got half his TDs. But, too much like a winning idea for them.

If kids have a 4 year scholarship, you can’t just kick them off the team. You can encourage them to transfer for playing time, but if a player no longer cares about playing time because he shifted his priority and now he wants his degree, then you need to let him stay and get his degree.
The long and short is that it is not always a “choice” for the coaches.

Exactly yall be acting like a UM education doesn't outweigh playing at a G5 to go to the XFL UFL then be jobless. These kids don't care about our transfer fantasy . But @AtlAtty it's bc [[our fans keep holding Mario back by not holding him accountable]] for GA tech ,TVD ,Gattis ,Louisville at the goalline...Yes recruiting matters. But who cares if you can catch fish if you can't fry them. It don't take the Avengers and X-Men to beat Rutgers and Bottom ACC teams. We getting out coached. Wash and Michigan took 4,3 stars and made lemonade with lemons. Michigan almost never out recruit OSU they barely out recruit PSU.

Maybe you wouldn’t have to replace Colbie Young if you'd kept Colbie Young.

I’m shocked no one has said put 20lbs on him and make him a TE.

CIS is really maturing.

This!

I agree. After his NIL "demands", we apparently told him to "haul ***".

If what’s said is true about this kid his comp is DK Metcalf which makes him a huge take. NO PAUSE

Are 4-year scholarships actually a thing? I know that years ago they used to have be renewed each year - especially in other sports. I remember there being talk a few years back of making football scholarships four years, but is that the rule?

Room is going to be too crowded once Jacurri makes the move.

It is...You dont get a 4 year scholarship.

Scholarships are YEARLY...after the szn u literally have an exit interview with the coach to see the plan or what will be done moving forward.
