Reese Poffenbarger (UAlbany QB)

[Sabetta]

If he’s willing to come in here and compete I’m fine with the take with the understanding that we might take another QB. Kid has the tools for sure.

 

[TC@ne]

As one of the first people to have qualms about the Ward situation, this kid is taking a lot of undeserved flack.

Him + Taulia is a B+ portal haul and it’s easily a better room than what last year’s ended up being.

 

[CanesFan20]

What sucks is that if we take him we will still not be able to land a transfer WR1. I highly doubt legit WRs in the portal will come to play with him.

it's not a popular opinion on here but I think we're more than fine at WR

It is that “+ Taulia” that worries me, I’m not a lawyer but I think he has a very weak case for the waiver.

I would be ok with him given our current situation.

He had a weak case in years past. NCAA takes more losses than Mario with qbs in the portal lately

Sure we can get by, but we will lack a true number 1 WR unless Horton or George take a big step. X can technically be a WR1 but he's like a Braxton Berrios, Instead of a Ahmon Richards.

I’ve never seen a coach be allowed to lower the bar and expections like Mario has. It’s remarkable

This wouldn't be the only QB we take, he has 2 years of eligibility left. We will still be going after another QB like Taulia or someone else.

It’s not just the QB fam

 

[CanesFan20]

Fair enough

 

[Noahcane]

why do you feel this way?

Because its not how a title contending program operates.

He is a hope and prayer that a plan D works out.

 

[Bird4um]

Next Doug Flutie?

Someone else? You are talking like Mario can cherry pick his QB anytime he wants.

QB recruiting is Achille’s Heel for Recruiter Mario, we shouldn’t take it for granted anymore.

 

[RightSaidFred]

What does the level of competition have to do with throwing the football?

There's a former NFL QB that has a gold jacket who played at the FCS level.

Several NFL QBs played at the FCS level. I think NFL scouts know more than you, me, and most college coaches.

The fact that the Miami staff is giving this young man a look tells you they are doing their due diligence.

There’s more to being a QB than “throwing the football,”. But to answer your question anyway, the level of talent has a lot to do with it.

An open receiver at the FCS level snd an open receiver at the ACC level look different

 

[Orig.CaneSawMassacre]

When your culture allows this, it's on the staff!

Lmao - what makes you think the staff allowed this? Some kids just can’t handle growing up and taking responsibility for there actions

Especially something as difficult as the business of being an elite football player at a major program.

I played D2 and the time commitment there was insane. I can’t imagine at UM.

I'm sure they will find someone else. Taulia is a lock if he gets the waiver and QBs will enter the portal after spring.

Here’s my problem: I have zero trust in Mario’s ability to land a top QB.

And that, for a supposedly “elite” recruiter, is a giant red flag.
