This guy gets it...
Basically “we’re them and they’re us,” AKA any other argument either of those UF or FSU clowns have when they’re scared. Miami is loading up in the portal and has consecutive Top 10 HS classes, and it terrifies them, because they know there isn’t anything they can do to stop the rise.
This way they can ignore thst 63-3 beat down at the Rock like it didn't happen.
They did what a lot of teams do when they hire a new coach and purged their roster. They took a ton of transfers and had some short term success but they didn’t recruit well and their long term issues eventually surfaced.
I’m a fan of the portal. I want Miami to use the portal to fill spots and upgrade positions where recruiting hasn’t done the job. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to build your roster through the portal long term.
The thing that makes it not credible is that it is all pure conjecture. They are rating players who haven't played a down of college football ahead of players with experience. Just look at Cam Ward. According to 247Sports, he's the #3 QB ranked QB in the portal behind Julian Sayin and Dante Moore. Saying hasn't played a down of college football. Moore played, but wasn't very good. You also have Jason Zandamela as the #7 overall transfer player. Hasn't played a down of football and won't see the field in 2024.Yea they got a bunch of high school players who never materialized and missed on the top 5 transfer QBs and had to settle for a guy who has looked mid at every stop. They have also whiffed numerous times on the portal trail. I would have given them a C+ at best and that would be based off high school potential but A+ is laughable.
Mike Norvell, coaching in song, will elevate these players to new heights. The FSU fans proclaim it.Funny how NONE of the kids that they highlight in these clips have DONE ANYTHING of SUBSTANCE at their previous schools, but are SO GOOD(“potentially”) for their new schools???? Make it make sense…Most of the production that they speak of was in/from HIGH SCHOOL…Lol
I was talking about Michigan State.Looking at 247 rankings they are the inversion of what we're doing. They are currently top 5 portal and rank 12th in HS recruits while we are top 5 in HS recruits and 12th in the portal. I like our approach better.
Once again basing their recruiting on transfer portal rankings. It’s not just that the guys they got are unproven, every high school kid is unproven. It’s that they’ve already had a chance to prove themselves in college and haven’t.
Thanks.
Perhaps, if their entire D gave it a go, that one play where a tiny white guy named “Ladd” ran around their entire defense (to the tune of the Benny Hill song) and scored to make it 35-3 halfway through the 2d quarter, might not have happened. But I don’t think the outcome of the game would’ve been much different.
Agreed like the dude florida got zandamela or whatever is a nice prospect, but 7 overall is crazyYea the 247 transfer rankings need a complete overhaul basing rankings on production and not high school rankings.
