The Bank (11/8)

[Memnon]

Memnon and the coaches are just totally off when it comes to Markel bell

Well, I'm not an OL Coach, so that's not really my area of expertise.

I just go by what I see & what I've seen is his pass protection has been porous when faced against Speed rushers. I record & rewatch every game & focus on different aspect of different units on both sides of the ball. Each time I've looked at the OL, whenever I saw #70 at LT, his kick-slide looked cumbersome. His ability to move laterally & backwards isn't as smooth as Mauigoa's or Rivers.

He's a good run blocker when his gets the chance to downblock & zero in on his man. But in one on one situations on the Edge, it's been a struggle IMO.

"Potential qb"

**** they better go get a starting QB in the portal. Period.

 

[gacaneaddict]

We gotta stop with this.

He shouldn't be seeing the field with his play this year but we have staff hyping him up as a potential 1st rounder.

Disagree. He puts lots of good reps on film. He is so long, athletic, and has more meat on the bone. I was already projecting him as a high round NfL pick if he keeps improving.

Everybody on OL has been beating, this “he shouldn’t see the field” is ridiculous and over exaggerating.

 

[Hurricane23]

Lowe, Hanks, Alford, Carter. That’s who I think we get

 

[Cylo]

A high upside OL in the portal

I gotta assume thats interior with either center or guard. We tried to get Nate Kalepo in the last portal.

Agree we should go after a go to guy WR in the portal.

 

[DemCanes90]

The group think is hilarious on here.

Eric McClain was raving about Bell and Rivers on their podcast this week. It ain’t just the coaches lol

I see a big guy with mauling upside but is facing a big uptick in talent with speed rush compared to CC. Thats normal and he should grow out of it with the coaching here

 

[Santana Sosa]

Stop.

Miami will finish top 10 class. Add more in the second window and add even more in the portal.

Enjoy the season and let Mario do what he does best, recruit.

I mean, y'all need to let the mopers mope too. If they wait til after signing day to say something, they become the "told you so crowd" and get attacked for that.

Someone pointing out what we don't have NOW is just as valid to me as what someone says we MIGHT have in a month. Difference being...one is 100% correct.

 

[TrojanCane]

The Bank has turned into new iPhone releases, each having marginal differences from the prior version yet I still want it.

Bell continues to get better and better as the season goes on

He’s not a liability like some of the DBs are on defense

If UM goes undefeated in the regular season, wins the ACC, and makes it to playoff semis- do you agree that just getting the #9 or 10 class would be a little bit disappointing, especially with Cristobal’s recruiting ability and the NIL available? I think all that should merit a top 5 class.

I assume the staff is wanting to get secretive about visits and such… ever since that one 5star LBs visit got ruined it feels like the loose knowledge has been zippered up

 

[Gables Canes]

Is Robert Stafford still on the team?

Yes friend I know, I see these responses under the other bank updates.

Whether it's Miami or Oregon, Mario has zero history of whiffing on all his targets down the stretch lmao

Predicting the absolute worst case scenerio ain't being mope, it's just being a soft *****.

I share your view. His length, long arms can give Cam a extra second or 2 when he is getting beat sometimes, but I don't see it now. Maybe he develops in the off season. I am not seeing a 1st Rd pick in his future at this time. I hope his footwork, legs develop this off season.

Mario has not not disappointed yet why you you THINK he would after a successful season.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Potential QB??

We'd be going from literally the best QB in college football to the winner of a QB battle between Emory Williams, Reese Poffenbarger, Judd Anderson and a true freshman.

I have a hard time believing Mario would risk experiencing that nightmare.

We signed a #7 class off a 5-7 season,followed that with a #4 class off a 7-6 season.We're 9-0 and looking good to finish undefeated and make the playoffs,so a lower class than the prior 2 is a bit of a head scratcher.

And the last statement...I 100% concur.
