JUCO 2024 Miami Offers 6'5 JUCO WR Leland Smith

[Calinative]

Johnston…didn’t have a bad rookie year either

I hope this is a joke? Probably one of worst 1st round rookie WR performances in last 5 yrs lol. Right there with Jalen Reagor and NKeal Harry

Was great at TCU tho.

What Johnston were you watching bud hahaha He was atrocious

 

[Golsen82]

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

CIS is really maturing.

but can he block??

His pops

 

[Yoyo82]

No. That's probably Leland's dad.

 

[TemplarCane]

Isn’t it Zo?

No. And he’s wearing a #12 Houston Texans jersey. Maybe the kid’s father?

Nico Collins is #12 for Houston and he went to Michigan

Interesting that Smith and Ward are both from the Houston area

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.

Just a heads up, 4 year scholarships don’t exist. Every scholarship is on an annual basis when you sign financial aid agreements.

Looks faster and more athletic than colbie but doesn’t look as physical or have the hands colbie had just based on the juco tapes

At least with Beard, a technician, we can help maximize the route running and bring up the hands.

They do .... found this...

NCSA: Are athletic scholarships guaranteed for four years?

Are athletic scholarships guaranteed? NCSA answers this question and more here.

I checked other sites as well that have similar info to it....

"An athletic scholarship could also not be extended to the next year if you get injured (though getting redshirted is more common), if you get in trouble at school, if your grades suffer or if you’re not performing as well as expected and the coach wants to extend a scholarship to another athlete."

Let's see how would UGA tamper with Colbie? I have a good theory. Miami alum Ryan Williams is on UGAs staff. Colbie's NIL agent is Shawn O'Dare another Miami alum. Oh yes they played together at Miami. Always the alumni doing their school a solid!! Go Canes

I don't love referring to players as dead weight - I don't think anyone really does. But roster management is a great discussion, so there are only a few ways to go about it, lol.

You have to think about it like this. There are a few players on the UM roster that have excellent opportunities to get more snaps at the FCS level.
