I love my Canes; love Miami Hurricanes football more than I love my other sports teams, simply b/c I chose to be a Canes fan at a young age while I was born in to the other teams I root for.
Sometimes fans, mostly fanatics, have a very obstruct view of their teams that leads to them be overtly critical or overtly blind. I love CIS b/c it’s polarizing combining the mopes w/ the pumpers, and a sprinkle of the realist to balance it out. It’s why this is by far the best fan site on any platform.
I will classify myself as a realist, and here’s the reality, family: The honeymoon, first yr bump is over. Now, we have to show these kids something. Here’s the other harsh reality, one that hurts & makes zero sense trying to comprehend it w/ our history:
The University of Miami, since 2004, have had ONE QB drafted (2017 - Brad Kaaya 6th round). I need u to let that sink in; despite all of the 5 & 4 star QBs this school has recruited, have been signal callers, we’ve had ONE QB drafted in almost 20 yrs, & he had a sip of coffee career in the NFL. We had 6 QBs drafted the first 20 yrs, & only one the last 20 yrs. So it’s going to be hard to convince a highly ranked kid who wasn’t even born during those 6 QBs playing careers to come to a school that hasn’t produced at his position + saw our highly touted QB last season look **** poor.
Perception is reality; folks, u can say OSU has all these QBs that are bust at the NFL, but the goal of a school is to get u paid at the next level. While we’ve produced One NFL draftable QB in the last 20 yrs, OSU is on the precipice of having 6 drafted, including the last 3 in the first round, all while this young man is young & impressionable.
We must show something this season. Mario can’t keep relying upon The Herbert card b/c:
1. Mario didn’t recruit Herbert (Scott Frost did)
2. That’s ancient history & none of Mario’s recruited QBs have done chit.
Change the narrative this season by being better than 5-7, have TVD show case he’s a NFL top 3 round talent, and have some WRs put up big numbers. If none of that comes to fruition, I promise u there won’t be enough NIL $$ in the world to sway top kids from going to other programs who are now on the NIL trail.
If Noland is our guy, & we put something nice on the field, hopefully we can flip him down the road. Still a lot of time between April - December.
