Stacy Coley had 4 touchdowns and threw up the U

[bomb]

60% chance he qualifies.

60% chance his additude doesn't hurt the team, causing a dismissal or other problems.

80% chance he pans out on the field/playbook etc.

Fyi I am completely making those percentages up by reading the Internet tea leaves just to give this example.

That would mean there is about a 28% chance this kid truly pans out, even with his abilities, and only a 36% chance that his kid gets in and doesn't **** up.

Can we afford those percentages right now?

Maybe. But put a 95 into the first two categories for a different kid and tell me who gets the ship?

Just illustrating some rationality into the disussion. I can see both sides of the equation but many coaches think real problematic kids can sink a program.

I'm no statistics major, but I want to know how all that adds up.

This is just a chance you take...hopefully he becomes a big time play maker...and if not well...I personally would rather take the risk of him becoming a JAG here than see him go on to be like a first round receiver out of fsu and look back and say....goddamnit why didn't we recruit this guy...i dont know about the rest of you guys but that's the worse for me

What about the risk that he doesn't get in, or flunks out, or gets arrested, doesn't get in his playbook... Basically never contributes... And the kid you PASS on to give Coley a slot balls out somewhere else for 4 years?

has this kid ever been arrested? if not, then why the speculation.....

Since when has that EVER happened

I have no idea. Just that there are "off-the-field" issues. Maybe I've been following recruiting too long. Agree thats specifically speculative. Do you know exactly what his off-the-field issues are, and that they aren't arrest related? Would be good news for the kid. OTF issue that keep a kid with his talent from getting offered are usually pretty serious.

I am a huge Coley fan, but it should be said that AJL looks like a beast and 2014 is going to be a big year for WR for us. I know that's dangerous recruiting talk but sometimes it has to be done.

I would still take him but if the staff feels their efforts are better spent on guys like Ermon Lane next year, then I can't fault that.

The only probability I need is that 75% chance that Coley balls out.....take him all the way

 

[Bigtip]

we need a gamebreaker at WR. we dont really have one on the roster right now

If he's half as good as TO I would sign him up if he wore an ankle bracelet

isn't angelo louis or something coming in the spring?

ppl sure do forget about our current players/commits real quick

absolutely nobody has forgotten about AJL, he is mentioned in this thread several times. But a talent like Coley, next to a talent like AJL and possibly Lane, is the kind of wr group that challenges for national championships. Instead of trying to win the Coastal.

 

[OkieCane]

I like AJL and give him props for going prep before UM, unlike many, but by all regards Coley >>>>> prospect @ WR than AJL

Well said.

But there's still a long way to go and the winter months are always good for some changes, especially since this staff has taken over.

I don't know If I could bear to watch Cooper and Coley ending up top 5 receivers in the nation in a few years if Coley's for real.

What exactly is known about his attitude/off the field issues?

I completely agree with your first statement which is why I want him...he has talent...I'm sure our staff can work with him and develop him...and if they can't oh well...it doesn't work, and if he really needs to go, them he can go...but I just don't see what the harm is in at least giving him a shot

And Sammy Watkins....Coley is more talented than Amari imo. Getting these kids is essential to getting Miami back in the top 10. We keep whiffing on kids like this or even passing on them due to charecter issues with a 17 year old high school kid and relying on Hankerson/Streeter/Byrd/Dorsett type guys and we will stay exactly where we have been for the last 10 years.

Streeter and Hank were solid 4 star guys but I get your point and I agree. Those guys shouldn't be our ceiling.

I mean think about it. We put up **** near 600 yards of passing in a game and neither our QB or our WRs are above average. The guys are there to be had so let's do some damage.
