We got Baker boys

 

[407cane]

He’s the closest thing to Botch Miami has had in 20+ years here.

+ Pushed hard for Pickett to get his commitment
+ Lightfoot was his thru HIS grapevine
+ Same for Jones (DT) this cycle.
+ Freeney is also his eval
+ Mack was one of his early ones as well.

There are a few more, but he’s hit more than he’s missed. If you want a few of those, I can post them as well to balance it out.

he's also the GM so I imagine in charge of NIL and what not which has paid severe dividends in our best back to back classes ever in 247 era

It this was Miami the south Florida HS would hold a grudge. but the SEC conference gets a pass.

Because Saban doesn't give a **** and brings in talent all over the country. Worrying about ****ing off SFLA coaches is only a Miami thing.

 

[Ghandi]

Interesting. Gabby floating the Mayfield comparison also. Said he got Mayfield vibes from the staff.

The party line is out gentlemen!

 

[ssvir]

Good luck trying to convince these guys otherwise.

For the record, Miami never formally saw him on the practice field. He was gone before that could happen.

Goes to ECU, doesn’t look as explosive as they thought he was, and passed the second time around.

Same thing for Little.

Why is that hard for people to understand?

Wasn’t Colbie Zo’s find as well?

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

I don't think Alabama people spoke too highly of him.

He's a massive pain in the *** and so is his old man.

Let FSU figure out if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Sir, I never said u did.

Baker Jr will be the name on the back this jersey in the spring

 

[Zbrod95]

our LBs tackle? you saw the bowl game right

I’m not even going to entertain this because there is no way you’re trying to use one game out of 13 played as proof that somehow, someway that defense is somehow not tackling miles better than it did under Manny.

 

[ssvir]

****
Little Jr went from being the first person Mario went to see when he got the job to not having a high enough grade. That Bama practice tape must have done him in. It’s rough around here.

or the ******* dad.

 

[mlw352]

Kid isn’t a bad player but Mario’s system is going to make him look so much worse.

I just don’t see the arm strength to make some of the throws we’re asking our QB to make.

Literally Anthony Brown 2.0. Very similar tools and ability. Shorter version. Reminds me a lot of someone else we were seeing mentioned… Jordan McCloud.

I would’ve rathered mccloud

 

[Noneedforaname]

I just wonder why no one has gone Poffenbaker for a nickname yet

 

[U_Canes]

I told someone the same thing yesterday. Other than his recruiting prowess Mario is Butch Davis as far as game day decision making. Mario is allergic to difference making QBs and WRs

This is such a stupid post

 

[lindend]

The party line is out gentlemen!

It surely wasn't random that both D$ and Gaby got the same player comparison from their sources.

 

[DHucks]

Watched some film on YouTube, not gonna lie, I'm a fan. At least for now. The complete opposite of TVD as far as play style. Dude is a gunslinger. Reminds me of a slightly more accurate D'Eriq King.

 

[Caned Peach]

Manny has Blake baker as well.

The same Blake Baker that was encouraged to seek shelter elsewhere at that time and Manny took over coordinator duties from the following season?

 

[ssvir]

So either Salter was never interested and that was a spin zone for it OR JB and/or EW have mentioned they'd be transferring

If the plan is Poff, JB, and EW vying for QB1 we are ****ed but if its those 3 vying for QB2 then it what it is, not a big deal

All in all, I truly believe the plan was to go for Ward and if/when that failed Taulia was always option 1b.

Salter looked like a midget pot head.
