Sure.

Then we lose accreditation, get kicked out of the NCAA, and have no athletic programs at all.

Makes sense.

Possibly, or maybe he is waiting to get who he wants. I personally wouldn’t want him to rush and get somebody subpar just to have something, anything, to sell to recruits.

Normally I would agree. But when the fallback option is Gattis, I don't really think even a rushed hire could be worse for us at this point lol.

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.

obviously most people are hoping/assuming changes are made at OC.

IF that in-fact happens, any names to be on the lookout for as a possible OC replacement?

Appreciate all that you do and bring to this board!!

Please...this needs to stop.

There is NOT a gap with Admissions. ALL OF THOSE RECRUITS would have been admitted to UM.

The fact that Miami is a small private school can NEVER be "tightened up". We are always going to have some transfer candidates who would "lose" a bunch of credit TOWARDS A MIAMI DEGREE. And that is the choice that each transfer candidate has to make on his own.

What people need to realize is that THIS ISN'T NEW. You're just starting to hear about it now this year, which is both encouraging and frustrating. Maybe it's made worse by the fact that there are SO MANY guys in the Portal. But I am absolutely certain that Miami "cooled on" certain transfers in the past because those guys did not want to lose a bunch of academic progress by coming to Miami.

We can't really do anything except try to get transcripts faster and ask certain academic people to work overtime during the holidays.

And this is not limited to athletics.
My daughther transferred from one college to another and lost credits. It sucks but most colleges do not allow all credits to transfer. And was you noted, smaller colleges typically allow less credits to transfer than state universities. Same thing happens to Notre Dame, and I’m sure at USC.

Any student transferring to UM would run into this issue.

Agree on all of this except for the USC part, I read the LA Times every morning and they just make the rules up as they go.

Yes.

I had a couple of friends transfer OUT of UM in the 1980s as the tuition skyrocketed, and they still lost some progress. Of course, it's cheaper to make that up at a state school, but still.

And let's not forget, Miami does not offer NEARLY as many summer school classes as state schools do. So it can be a battle for student-athletes to make up any credits that they lose upon transferring to UM.
