is Wednesday.
Miami’s class is ranked about 10th.
Given both UF and FSU had bad years, one would think Miami would have its pick of local talent.
Of course, the transfer portal is a game changer. Hopefully, Miami can get some experienced help at positions of need like QB, LB, DB, etc.
I’m not sure of having better players is the solution. I think Miami had better talent than any team they played and still lost 2 games and close to losing a few more.
I have said this for years.
A team of good players who play great together will beat a team of great players who play good together.
This is why coaching is important.
The top teams all have stacked rosters. Coaching matters but players matter much more IMHO.
Especially QB’s.
UF has serious momentum right now, and rumored to be poaching off us.
Crazy how this stuff works.
UF won a couple of games late but still finished 7-5. Napier will be fired if UF doesn’t win 9 or 10 next season.
Pretty easy to negative recruit against both UF and FSU this year.
It’s all what have you done for me lately.
No one remembers that Miami killed Florida the first game of the year.
Next year, not this year…And they seemingly have some cash. They have momentum, I wouldn’t tell you they did if they didn’t. The time to negative recruit them has passed…They announced he was staying and that coincided with a winning streak and a popular frosh QB.
As usual it’s both…Moreso overall talent, unless you have bad coaching. There is a point where coaching can make a great team just a good team and a good team an average one. For instance Cristobal singhle-hadedly cost us G.Tech last year, and we’ll say he cost us half a win this year, because we don’t know if we would beat Cuse, just that it was a piss poor coaching exhibition in an absolute winnable game.
Also although stacked yes, none of these teams are as good as we’ve seen some of the monster teams in recent years.
Our coaching was so bad yesterday I don’t know where to start.
Go watch the game and watch every Fletcher carry vs. every Martinez carry…It looks like Fletcher is running blindfolded with flippers on. And somehow he had 4 more touches than Martinez in our biggest game of the year…The field goal decision, then taking 30 seconds to kick a fg, I could go on forever. I wanna vomit right now lol
For instance it sounds like Stubbs and Nix may be gone to UF/Oregon respectfully…Hopefully Cristobal can work his charm at last minute.
Yeah, a post on Rivals makes it sound like UF flipped Stubbs. Grrrrr!!!
Wow, a Jax kid who actually didn’t really want to come here, go figure!
You’re more likely to see aerial pigs than Miami winning ten games next year. Anyone who thinks Emory Williams is an adequate replacement for Cam Ward has a loose connection in their mental circuitry. Time to get out the checkbook and find a QB, or we may wind up following FSU into the dumpster. Our egregious loss to Syracuse, I presume, does not exactly add a great deal of luster to becoming a Hurricane. Looking back, we played our best game of the season against Florida. It’s a good thing we played them early. If we played them tomorrow, we’d be assured afterwards of commitments fleeing like rats on a sinking ship. Damn, I am depressed. One of my Alabama friends, not one of the smart ones, a complete fool if you will, just commented what a dummy Cristobal was kicking the FG. I simply hated him for being right.
So we have a coach who’s known for his RECRUITING and certainly NOT for his game day, Saturday acumen in the least. So now he’s going to enter year FOUR without his stud QB who was responsible for this team NOT LOSING about 5 games as usual and having to RIP his DEFENSE apart yet again and rebuild it in the portal in all probability, right? I mean, there’s NO WAY you bring a lot of these guys back, including the DC, correct?
So why is Mario here again? They’re never prepared on Saturdays and they’re still not built right. Every year it’s find another 25 guys in the portal. Do you notice you see NO DECLINE in Oregon football at all? They lost Mario and knew EXACTLY who they wanted as a replacement and UPGRADED with Dan Lanning. Funny how the good programs can do that, isn’t it?
OK, maybe not so funny. 
We are currently ranked between 10 and 15 depending upon what site you trust.
How many spots do we still have and who do you think we will sign on February 5?
I totally forgot about the February signing day, hah. Almost seems an afterthought now.
Found this blather: Miami (FL) football's top last-minute targets before 2025 National Signing Day
Not much out there to see.
Yeah, I saw that too.
Pretty quiet right now. It’s all NFL
However, what a great swag move to fly a U helicopter onto the football field in Texas!
Half a ham sandwich and some complimentary potato salad seems like a pretty good haul today.
(Why does today even deserve a half column inch these days?)
Yeah, haven’t seen much traffic on the board for NSD.
