Ward and Drones met when Cam was a Junior in HS. Their Dads talking discovered their wives were from the same area, called them and found out their wives were 2nd cousins. They had moved to different parts of Texas and lost touch. Cam and Kyron got closer through ball. Earlier in the season it was believed Drones would transfer after the season. I don't believe that's the case anymore.

Well if there is one thing I'm confident in it is that the minute a grad transfer is prohibited from entering the portal in these months between winter and spring portal, there will be a lawsuit filled within a week and the judge will side with the player...

I saw an article about it yesterday. It seems it’s a company that we are going to hire that will grade players and will only grade the better players and we will be on the front end of this with one or two other schools.
Is this what you are referring to.

Mendoza
Beck
Robertson
Hoover
Ewers
Milroe
FCS dude
WSU back up
Drones
LOL
Like others said, if it were Drones why wouldn’t he have already entered portal if he is not playing in bowl game? And I would have been fine with Drones personally if his price tag was on the ‘lower’ end.

I keep holding out hope that we were that “secret team” that offered Ewers $6 mil lol. At first, I thought that’s what might have lured Branch to visit, but the USC connection with Maiava would make sense also. What’s the lowdown on Maiava? General consensus from SC fans is that he’s just OK and careless with the football.
I don’t know the details - just passing along what I have heard from others that are more in the know. I did hear this, but I don’t think this is all. I think we will be “oiptimizing” our internal processes/approval chains and what not to hopefully prevent some of the snafus we are hearing about. (I am hoping it minimizes DS’s influence as he has too much from what I can tell.)

He’s the only hope right now even though Dawson’s offense might not best be suited for his style but you absolutely take him based on where we are.

I agree. I would have been fine with him at the start of the window. He’s got a lot of potential. I just don’t think he’s the guy the staff is getting or it would have happened already
I think he meant re-signed/reupped his deal.
I don’t think he meant he resigned/gave up his deal.

honest question not being a ****, why does it matter what the price tag is to us fans? if the team can pay it, they should - we don't *seem* to be pinching pennies
on a separate note - I try not to discount any qb's with absolute certainty, but I'll come out and say drones is bad, really bad - and getting him would be concerning that the coaches feel he's better than anything we have and/or even worth going after

I understood what he meant.
Pay the money back and bounce if the price is right. Miami would have to overpay big time.
Money talks.

Only reason I ever comment about budget is we had to listen to the excuses about how we had to sacrifice our secondary this year because we needed to spend money elsewhere
So given that history when you start talking sacrificing millions for a “not Cam Ward” QB I gotta ask
Go back 1 month ago when portal opened…
Knowing what we know now, instead of waiting on Mateer, Miami should have pivoted the moment we weren’t getting a firm answer from Mateer on just visiting and moved on to someone like Jackson Arnold and then got Singleton to go with Daniels (because lets face it, Daniels was always coming this time around).
Of course the fans would have been upset for not seeing the whole Mateer situation out, but this is what happens when you go all in and you are not holding the nuts.
