The Bank (1/8)

[Calinative]

On top of that, we can’t multitask

I would have called myself crazy but then I looked at it.. and the people who think they’re far off from each other have to do a lot of reaching to get to that conclusion

Or the people who think that must just not have a very short term memory lol

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

Their PR might just be worse than their qb recruiting.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

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.

I’m not bashing Zo.

 

[Ghandi]

Wasn’t Colbie Zo’s find as well?

The Colbie find, if I’m not mistaken was Cooney and a kid that left last year before the season started. I don’t remember his name, but I’d love to give him credit.

 

[PIPO]

I never reported that on the Liberty QB.

My understanding is there were multiple character red flags there, which explains why he didn't land anywhere.

So it wasn’t “he had a bunch of credits that wouldn’t transfer over at UM or Auburn?”

That’s what happens when you play nice with the staff.

/Pay attention Gary, you’ll mother ****ers over there are hanging on by a thread!

 

[cenoc918]

Going to wait and see how he does at this level before throwing his name under the bus. Some of these dudes have a competitve edge that drive their success and will drive the success of a team.

A voice of reasoning. He pans out ' we got him for 2. Better then a one yr rental n be back n the same position next yr

 

[Ghandi]

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

The same one who’s about to make $2M in the SEC at LSU…

What a turnaround for the young man!

 

[ssvir]

Think we need to start accepting that Mario and staff do not value the transfer portal just like Dabo and Clemson. Time will tell if that's the right decision...

 

[ben]

get over it @Ghandi. the guys stinks.

WHOA!

 

[Tonio]

From his own mouth, HS recruiting and development is the lifeline. Supplementing with transfers is the key.

Could he do more, I guess, espeialy this cycle. But you risk loosing a lot of effort and development from your current roster. That’s arbitrary.

But to compare him to treating the portal like Dabo is all time exaggeration.

Obviously the Dabo comparison was an exaggeration but meant in the sense that both guys are trusting HS evals and development first.

I only count Mesidor, Kiko, Cohen, and Lee as guys brought in to be Day 1 starters. All the others were stop gaps to let the younger guys develop/build depth or guys that needed development in order to start, and I am fine with that.

Deen, Cloyd, Allen, Agude, Jaden Davis, Gore, Ladson, Denis weren’t brought in to be #1s but rather give us depth so the younger guys get time AND that’s fine. We don’t need to overstate what these guys are.

I’m fine taking Caleb Johnson and AJ Allen because that means less instances of Ragone’s and Michael Parrot’s taking meaningful snaps.

 

[Ghandi]

So it wasn’t “he had a bunch of credits that wouldn’t transfer over at UM or Auburn?”

No, he’s a thief.

That doesn’t play well on any team.

 

[WestEndZone]

Alonzo Highsmith was the VP of Player Personnel of the Browns when they drafted Mayfield.

Should tell you who is making up the bull**** and probably needs go when this doesn’t work out

Edit.. I see it says personality.. at least they’re not trying to sell his ability as being Baker Mayfield.

Ok that explains it.

 

[PIPO]

No, he’s a thief.

That doesn’t play well on any team.

I remember when a kid on my high school baseball team back in the day stole a baseball glove from a teammate.

I’d much rather be a program built on HS and development. Relying on the portal ever year will be an ugly game

 

[MikeCane18]

So we finally got Deejay's Ace I see. Bout time.

 

[Caned Peach]

Absolutely a great a turnaround but you (not meaning you) can't give Manny credit for just having him on staff. That's like giving Blake James credit for hiring Manny if he somehow does a great job at Duke. Baker wasn't good here same as Manny wasn't.

 

[USNAVYCANE]

I loved Baker in college he was one of my favorite non canes players . I don’t see that with this guy

True

 

[wnycanesfan]

They have like 16 (no bull****)

And a similar number of WR if I remember correctly.
