Bro, where are you from? I know all the Chastain boys, Mike, Pat, Bryant (RIP) and their mom and dad (he passed too). Mike used to be the HC at Warner Robins High School and now he's at JC.He played in a wing T system up until this past season. That could explain his accuracy issues, and him being a 1st read QB. Idk. He’s got a lot to learn, and he’s behind the curve, right now. I know his head coach, personally and he’s a **** good high school offensive coach. Let’s see if he (Mike C.) can help this kid iron some of dem wrinkles out of his game. That completion percentage scares the **** out of me. Usually a kid that ain’t accurate in HS, ain’t accurate in College either. But I guess I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, being this was his 1st season in a modern offense.
Add in the INTs and he has a 70% completion rateThe puzzling thing is Dawson says he prefers to recruit QBs that are very accurate in HS
Emory Williams is more developed then this guy.I could see that. Looks like a kid that wouldnt be ready to portal out after 2 years....A classic #2 developmental guy similar to Emory Williams imo.
We wouldn't be ****ed lol... Do you have any idea how many quality starting QBs hit the portal every year? Let's checkIf he’s the QB2 in this class, then fine. Whatever.
If he’s the best we can do at QB and we settle for an Anderson/Hairston duo in this class…

We wouldn't be ****ed lol... Do you have any idea how many quality starting QBs hit the portal every year? Let's check
Sam Hartman 38TDs 12INTs
Devin Leary 35TDs 5ints
Brennan Armstrong bad 2022 but 39 Total TDs 4500+ total yards in 2021
Tanner Mordecai 33TDs 10Ints
Collin Schlee 17TTDs 5INTs
DJ Uiagelali 29 Total TDs 7INTs
Spencer Sanders 25 total TDs 9ints
Graham Mertz 21 total TDs 10ints
Kedon Slovis 68 TDs in his career and a 4 year starter
Drew Payne 22tds 6ints
If we strike out in recruiting we can easily bring in a quality starting QB via the portal, so no worries.
There are other Miami boards?Miami 247 board going at Wiltfong over this cb right now. they don't like the timing. Wiltfong says there's no ulterior motive.
Mertz was at the bottom of that list, but let's take someone from the middle of the list. Let's say we go out and grab a Spencer Sanders type QB, with our OL and running game we can easily win 8-9 games with someone like that once Mario gets his guys.If the portal argument is that we could still throw a huge NIL offer to land a Caleb Williams, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts level transfer QB, then I’m right there with ya. Fully on board.
But a list with a couple nice options and a whole lot of “meh” that includes a bum like Graham Mertz who has everyone in the Gator Tears thread mocking UF for relying on him as a starter is not a viable solution if we’re trying to accomplish anything meaningful as a program.
I notice this narrative only is spewed when you miss on your targets because this tweet wouldn’t have been made if Air Noland was committed to Miami
No the point is that we’re not ****ed.I notice this narrative only is spewed when you miss on your targets because this tweet wouldn’t have been made if Air Noland was committed to Miami
IMO, quarterback is the single biggest gamble. Other than bragging rights for getting a highly rated QB over a rival, any discussion of future ability at the college level is shaky.I notice this narrative only is spewed when you miss on your targets because this tweet wouldn’t have been made if Air Noland was committed to Miami
