RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

[TheOriginalCane]

I would think that Martinez is looking at the entire picture before he picks a school.

NIL
Strong qb
Depth chart

And this one is a big one
Oline

No way he leaves a top 10-15 oline to go somewhere that doesn’t have that. We fill all the boxes.

Hopefully he thinks about all of these things and doesn’t just take upfront cash. Going from a top oline to one that doesn’t open holes can expose any weakness he may have.

Not comparing him to king Henry but an aging rb left a ground and pound team for another team that loves to establish the run and not just willing to pay him more.

The most important thing with Martinez and NIL is not a specific dollar amount.

It's the fact that Miami ACTUALLY PAYS its NIL. It's not illusory. It's not a broken promise.

Agree. Guy knows he isn’t getting 1/4, of the money. He will get it all.

The same ones that get on Twitter and their press conferences and ***** about it now

Something about a rabbit and a gun....

I think a lot of the boosters at these schools actually dislike the kids and reluctantly pay them because that's the price to have a good team. I completely believe the structure of the contracts reflect that disdain.

We land this guy and we’re a legit CFP contender. Biggest question marks remain on D, but that offense would look even better.

I don’t think the secondary is going to allow us to be a CFP contender - if they can bring in a more proven safety maybe.

The transformation has been something to behold. Congrats! #jvdontmiss

Brings a tear to my eye.

Yeah that’s because Coley is a dumbass. Oh it’s 4th and 2? Let’s put in Gus with 1FB, 3TEs and run up the middle.

“Holy **** it didn’t work?! How did they know?”

Really wish Jedd Fisch hung around another 1/2 years. Us not being able to to see him use Duke in 2013/14 wasn’t fair.

Sounds familiar...

Gus’ numbers were better with Coley than Richt. He was statistically below average at Rutgers too but he just got more carries.

I can’t understand any complaining that this guy ain’t it, this dude is as good as you will get especially in the spring portal. Top 10 RB in the country

A lot of people here don't watch football outside of our games.

I think they watch their favorite teams play, which aren't the Canes. I think about 40% of the most active porsters here are trolls

This is true but if you look at both situations objectively it doesn't take long to come to the conclusion that Miami is a much better situation for Martinez.

Yes definitely and I agree with you that MSU is a threat.

I'm not sure they watch football in the first place.
