Miami will be hosting one of the most productive receivers in America, as FIU transfer WR Eric Rivers visits Coral Gables this weekend.



The 5’11, 175-pound Chattanooga, TN native is fifth in the nation in receiving yards (1,172) and fourth in touchdowns (12). He also averages an eye-popping 18.9 yards per catch.

they also get power 5 bounce backs though

This is the best g5 programs should be talent wise.

Power 5 schools are offering less hs kids....they are playing in the portal pushing kids that would typically be power 5 down to g5 also kid in the portal looking for reps are going down to them as well

Think we every see P4 teams to use a G5/FCS schools a development squad? I.e. Miami recruits project players to FIU with the intent of “calling them up”. Have the feeder program run similar systems, possibly even share some facilities/nutrition.

You do that if a hc from your coaching tree gets the job at a g5 and is cool with it.
It could work. **** u kind of seen it with smu at a level and they took off with our guys.

I meant colleges placed guys in jucos and preps like milford and hargrave..if a coach was smart and tight with the hc he could pull it off

Knew of Rivers in Chattanooga as a basketball player. He was lethal in the 3on3 circuit.

McCallie school is always loaded in football though.
