That's what happens when kids go to **** schools and take bull**** classes instead of a real major.

I remember way back in the day a Jr from Ohio State transferred to Maryland and he was a Freshman in credits at Maryland b/c he majored in underwater basket weaving at OSU.

Emptying the notebook from last week. Will have more in the days to come:

- I was told on Wednesday that the timetable for staff changes was ten days (by end of this week). This is my educated guess, but that tells me Mario wants to completely close the initial talent acquisition window before moving on to staff changes. As I've said for months, I expect significant changes including a new offensive coordinator and QB coach.

- One thing to keep in mind with the Transfer Portal- even with the best preparation, it is more unpredictable and haphazard than HS recruiting. Visits are often an opportunity for staffs to evaluate the players, and vice versa. Issues with credits transferring and the NCAA's new contact periods (which doesn't match with every school's enrollment calendar) have disrupted a couple recruitments. Miami has been aggressive in pursuing players but is being mindful not to settle for inferior talents. Remember, our two best Portal acquisitions last year (Akheem Mesidor and Darrell Jackson) committed in April. Miami will continue to pursue a big body DT in the Portal.

- Miami will continue to pursue a transfer RB. FAU's Larry McCammon was very interested in Miami but could not transfer certain credits, which led to his return to FAU.

- I expect Miami to be a factor for Alabama WR Tyler Harrell if his foot checks out. I will post an update on Gary Bryant once I get it.

- I don't think Miami is done at LB. They will pursue another transfer there if the right name presents itself.

- Iowa transfer Terry Roberts remains in the mix. If Miami takes him, don't be surprised if it's at safety.

- Miami fans are underrating Purdue transfer DT Branson Deen. His commitment came at a time when fans were expecting news on a big DT, a new OC or a WR name, so I get the distraction. But after watching him against Michigan and Penn State, this is a twitchy, high-motor player who made plays against big OL. He had 34 pressures last year against the best and biggest OLs in America. For comparison, Leonard Taylor had 25 against worse competition.
Must have used invisible ink for the Cormani update 😭

You can’t be majoring in underwater basket weaving then transfer to a school that does not offer those classes or that major or that degree and expect to get a degree in that major. That’s where these issues are happening - it’s not about UM admissions being a pain in the ***- you can’t make up degrees you don’t have to offer. You can finesse it to a degree in some cases or perhaps help somebody do a design your own degree program but it still has to be within the realm what the school has to offer overall.
 
We don't have to keep beating the "*******" drum 24 hours a day.

I'm not blaming you, I'm not mad at you. But let's keep the "news" to "news" and not just go into "jokes" territory.
Wait so you telling me having a comment about how slow Mario is defining what soon is since you are the one who mentioned soon is now a problem. The guy is taking super long on every single decision and honestly he hasn’t exactly built up the bank account on that so yeah I said to me just being an *** about it I’m making a joke about it but the point is still the same I have no confidence that he’s gonna come up with something very quickly because he hasn’t done so in any other situation

The thing I like most about the D line pick ups is the high motor/twitchiness factor of both Deen and Gore. Having those two guys playing along side Mesidor excites me. I can see a D line that pursues with a relentless pace. If Leonard Taylor can take that crucial "next step" in his development then we could end up having a very capable D line. Here's hoping.

Pure hypothetical question just for fun:

Do you accept a Sean Lewis for Cormani trade with Colorado?

Would be fastest guy on the team second he set foot on campus.
That might be great, as we obviously need to stretch the filed, but we've got to get some more size and length outside. Right now we have about one guy who looks like he can actually make meaningful contributions.
