Nobody is making him a starter because of what he did at Vandy, but only will if/when/because of what is NOT on Miami's current roster.

Again, the kid is developing AS YOU WOULD EXPECT from a freshman, so there is no reason for him to be a finished product that is a polished starter already. He's got 4 games against so-so competition to get his feet wet at UM before the ACC schedule starts.

Learn about the kid. He's very promising, and Vandy didn't want him to leave, they didn't push him out. He's not coming for massive NIL. This is a great take, because he doesn't have built-in bad habits or "this is how we did it at Vandy" yet, you can coach him up along with the other new guys, nobody really has an advantage.

From what I recall he had a great game against the gator. Was that his breakout game?

I believe that is correct, Vandy had a good game (second-to-last of the season) and won by 7 points. In their final game of the season, Vandy got crushed by Tennessee 56-0, so I highly doubt there were many "defensive highlights" for Jadais or anyone else on Vandy.

Jadais was definitely getting more PT in November than in September.

Lol don't be emotional. There are some on here naming him a starter with limited game film or any verified stats.

In the same post, I acknowledge that his 'one start' is something to work with. I also stated that he appears to be a project, more than a starter, like some are suggesting.

If anything, my post was suggesting we temper our expectations a bit. I'm not sure who he's competed with at Vandy (spring ball) but I'm willing to bet A&M (who we play in sept) starters has better. This isn't a slight at the young man. It's just reality

Limited game film? He’s the reason UF lost to them last year.

edited due to my memory being called out below lol

It’s a good pick up. The room has been trash we lost 2 to the draft others to the portal.
