The Bank (5/3)

[CaneintheWilderness]

Someone should start publishing a The Bank but for the general mood of the board and whether the Mopes or the Slurpers are ascendant/who is carrying the day.

- The Mopes are out in full force, accusing our head coach Mario Cristobal of acting too slow in the transfer portal for several marquee players at positions of desperate need. They feel that his reputation as a power run coach who destroyed Justin Herbert's college career (quite possibly his life) and his extremely deliberate (some would say glacially slow) personnel selection process have doomed us to an eternity of mediocrity. Every morsel of new information confirms this narrative.

- The Slurpers on the other hand are preaching patience, trust the process, that Mario knows what he's doing and that just because we're not hearing news doesn't mean we're not making moves.

- Look for the Mopes to respond that the Slurpers are just deluding themselves again, that if they really looked at the situation objectively they'd see just how futile an endeavor Miami Hurricanes football fandom is. That this is yet another classic case of orange and green colored glasses.


I know both sides are frustrated but what I'm hearing is that it will be a very exciting week of narratives ahead.

Ajay Allen is the name to watch there.

any chance we try for both?

Agreed, NIL+Portal together are a total mess. College football needs to eliminate the immediate eligibility transfer rule (unless grad transfer). That simple. Not sure why NCAA wouldn't make that move?

The Universities need to pay the players out of the massive tv contracts, bind the players and have their image rights go through them. That will stop all this madness and we can stop pretending it is and was ever amateur sports starting years ago

 

[TheOriginalCane]

If the NCAA is thinking of changing the redshirt rule to 6 games, they may as well just allow 5 years of eligibility.

4.5 years...

So you want more arguments than whats already there?

No.

Oh yay, the Mario slurper attack hyena’s are out in force going after anyone speaking truth.

**** every one of you. Did any one of you learn from the last 4 or so coaches that you’re actually a better fan for being honest?

Nope. You ****ers aren’t going to bully people speaking truth like you did before. There’s a big difference between speaking honest truth with good intention and being a **** on everything miserable ****.

If you slurpers start going after people for speaking honest facts and opinion that doesn’t jive with your fairytale dreams I’m going to hound, haunt and hunt you like Freddy Kruger.

I *** with ****ed off RVA lol

Keep your heads on a swivel with the portal. Just because there’s not many names being thrown around doesn’t mean work isn’t being done. There’s a method to the operation.

Amos?

I wish but I feel that Amos would be labeled surefire starter or something to that effect.

Maybe this is the small school safety that Cribby has mentioned in the past.

 

[da truth]

You say that but its literally not true. What's Chance?

What’s Nathaniel? We took him from Clemson

 

[da truth]

I didn’t say anything about Malone or any trench guys.

Chance is not the same as a portal player. Most of those guys are in their money year. They’re less inclined to take the risk than a kid still in high school who hasn’t signed yet. Remember Andy Jean?

I agree with you most times but Nathaniel was a stud wr we just signed and I’m not a Mario slurper but if you’re speaking strictly portal then

 

[RVACane]

Mostly portal though really any traditional tall fast outside WR1.

That said, Joseph’s a stud. He was a slot guy in the recruitment but because of the way the portal WR recruiting is going, I actually think we need to try him (and possibly Robbie on the outside). I had this conversation earlier today with @TheOriginalCane offline. He can play a Jeff Thomas-ish role. We need to create an outside downfield threat and show the offense has changed. I think we’ll have to do it from who we have and Ray Ray would be the guy I’d try. Plus it would create a lot of excitement for WR recruiting if he does well.

Show me another 300lber out there doing this



Proper coaching and dedication and that Artavious kid has top 5 talent written all over him.

Sophomore season playing more offense/TE

At the .50 second mark what in the Coach D No Frio defense is going on here?. And what he does to that poor kid so lackadaiscally. I stopped the tape there...i want this kid on my team i dont even know what he does on defense and that is his sophomore film but he instantly has shot up to my top 3 dt in this class and a priority lol

 

[TRick72]

Both Allen and Richard are from Monroe Louisiana. Rose is attending Louisiana Tech which is around 1 hour or so west along I-20. We definitely have some existing relationship from the coordinators if i had to guess. Guidry and Dawson both being from Louisiana. Add Citizen and Day, thats a nice Louisiana clique forming.

 

[mlw352]

I hope we get that Louisiana corner as well and Coleman to go along with the big defensive tackles that’ll put us in a great spot for this season if done correctly the portal can help us get ten wins this year.

 

[skeeter]

Jamari Howard and Booker Pickett seem like no brainers from that list.

Doesn't seem like Howard is...May be behind others. In all fairness I do think the services have him overrated. But there's a lot to like as well.

 

[skeeter]

Jaden Harris is the name to watch at safety. Miami likes his speed, physicality and mindset but his weakness is man coverage. We saw that in his limited playing time this year.

I thought it was reported that he started spring at safety but then finished it back at nickel?

 

[Odysseus]

Amos?

Famous amos

 

[Hurricane23]

A lot of respect for Mario, recruiting would work my nerves
