Dennis smith is so important to Miami football he has the connections to inner city kids that Miami missed out on previously. We have to trust our local talent. Look how swfl football dominated and swept the state championship games. We let Bryan Louis go to the gators. He wanted to be a cane cause he looks up to fletcher major recruiting miss when you look at it now we missed out on lot of targets down the stretch so we had the scholarships you can never have enough running back depth. If I was Miami I would go get CJ Donaldson especially if Martinez leaves

[@fantalationzone7207]

I wish we find another dynamic receiver like Jacolby George. A lot of you guys slept on Jacolby he was underutilized he should of been our Punt returner. He fumbled one punt a while back and Mario went the safe rout with Restrepo.

[@RobertHunsaker-yr5po]

Maybe he fumbled them in practice.

You might wanna join us in 2024... Ray Ray was our KR

Donno is 100% correct re: Golden.

Honestly we should retain Guidry. But I would bring in a safeties coach let Guidry just overseer. (Maybe Ed reed)

[@kenkaniff4799]

I believe that we will be fine should Emory be named the starter but Leonard is a bad comparison, he is a run threat lol. He now has the record record for Rushing TDS in a season for a QB at ND

[@randyforbes8301]

We NEED a Midwest 100+ tackle LB or 2 to shore up the defense

[@harryhoesch3793]

Does "full time" mean for 4 quarters of the game? That would really help.

[@dmoney1219]

If you look ND , Georgia , Texas etc they all mediocre QBs . But the # 1 thing they All have is a Great Respectable defense. Texas’s defensive tackles are badazz . This is what we need and have been missing for years.

[@kevinmiller8575]

I’m glad that Mario finally addressed the defensive line and backfield issues. People are posting about are DC but they fail to understand that you can only play with the experience players and talent that you have to put on the field and are defensive players are young and learning I keep saying this. We still need more bigger and aggressive players on the defensive and offensive line and a younger bigger linebacker would be nice to have for the future to start learning and playing to gain experience. I would also like for UM to look for height and size at the wide receiver position. We will be fine

[@dela.6150]

We had that Melendez LB who was committed to us for a while. He was big and physical we let him go. I think we will be fine but this season Mario will have to be methodical about the roster.

[@randyowens39]

All is true what you posted but to a degree!!! Guidry have been exposed since last year against Louisville. His stubbornness to adjust have gone several times last year and way to long this year. You as a coach should know how adjust with what you have and play to the strength of what you have. No excuse

[@kevinmiller8575]

@ That’s true. But if we are playing spades and I ask you to bid what’s in your hand you can only play with the hand that you are dealt. If you take Cam Ward out of the equation for his exceptional performance with the offense. Where would you feel UM would be ranked. Because the offense just looks better than the defense doesn’t mean that are players are still not young we where just fortunate enough to have a few portal transfer players mixed in with are senior players in key positions that made the offense look better than the defense. But next season will show exactly where UM team is at we should be balanced with a growing offense and defense coming together as one team.

[@dela.6150]

We need Lucas bad!!!! Put Bain and blay inside and mesidor and Justin Scott at ends

Tired of the Emory slander. If you want to act like his true freshman season doesn't exist including him selling out for his team. Then fine donno but stop acting like he isn't at all experienced.

[@nickortiz7671]

You know Donno, Someone has to finally call you out on your BS! You keep propping up Emery like he’s some top-notch college quarterback and it’s going to take us where we want to go, which is To the playoff. Clearly, you’ve never played this game at the high-level because if you had, you would see as clear as day What everyone else sees in Emery. He has a below average arm, is a statue in the pocket and has a low slow release. So you think it’s a good idea to start him game one against Notre Dame and watch him throw footballs into the hands of the defensive line of Notre Dame all game long? SMH Because that’s exactly what he did in the games against Clemson and FSU two years ago. Speak the truth, man, if you even know it, because Miami is in on Mendoza and I can guarantee you, Mario will be trotting him out there game one over Emory.
