Sports Illustrated laying into Sankey


Meanwhile, Miami tampered with Darian Mensah, who was under contract at Duke, and nobody in sports media is criticizing Mario Cristobal or ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips.
quote:

Your whining and crying is pathetic.


Just looking at Tech's schedule objectively:

Abilene Christian: Who?
Oregon State: 2-10
Houston: Probably a back end top 25 team
Sam Houston State: Who?
Colorado: 3-9
ASU: No Leavitt
Cincinnati: No Sorsby
Arizona: Bowl team that likely won't be ranked
Oklahoma State: Bleh
WVU: 4-8
Baylor: 5-7
TCU: No Hoover

There is SO much wrong with this. A&M tied with Miami


A&M might just be a flash in the pan, and Miami will be better than A&M next year. They just tampered with Mensah and the 1,000 yard receiver from Duke.

OM just won their biggest football game in 50 years and has a better coach now than Kiffin


Pete Golding is a better coach than Kiffin? Are we sure about that? If Kiffin was coaching in the CFP they would've defeated Miami, IMO.

quote:


My takeaway is that they pretty much just regurgitated the CFP top 10 teams, shuffled them a bit, and made sure to wedge in Notre Dame.


They were pretty young this year. They have like 15 or 16 returning starters so I get the ranking. Nice portal class and top 5 HS recruiting class, too.

quote:

I thought Indiana was all a bunch of seniors who were done after this year. What's the deal?


They have a really, really good portal class. A lot of high-end talent and players with proven production. I think they're over-ranked, though. Hoover will be a drop off from Mendoza and he turns the ball over too much. Nick Marsh is going to blow up in Cig's offense. A lot of people don't realize how good he is.

quote:

Does Miami know that you can just recruit a QB out of HS?



Cristobal's track record shows that he can't develop QB's that he signed out of HS. The rest of their QB depth chat is bad. Without Mensah they'd probably lose 3 games next year, even in the crappy ACC.
It’s wild that Kiffin was made out to be the devil for the Demond Williams fiasco but Cristobal has received basically no criticism for clearly tampering with Mensah. I’m not going to defend what Kiffin tried to do, but this is much worse. Miami waited until the last day to tamper with someone who was already under contract at another school.
Kiffin is much better than Kelly. Kiffin is not lazy. He's busting his arse recruiting in both the HS and portal ranks. His former program will be in worse shape. If Kiffin was still at Ole Miss, they would've defeated Miami and made it to the Natty. Ole Miss will fall off starting next year compared to where they were under Kiffin.

Kelly was a lazy recruiter and the program he left to go to LSU is in better shape. If Kelly were the coach of ND in 24, they would not have made the Natty. A lot of key players (both HS and portal) on that ND team would've never committed to ND if Kelly was there. At LSU, Kelly was also a lazy recruiter. He didn't even bother to know the names of prospects and told them they had to schedule appointments just to talk to him. If Kelly wasn't in a state with a cult-like atmosphere, where a lot of top players in the state only go to LSU because "dey LSU", he would've done even worse.

Miami


They're losing 7 starters on both sides of the ball lol


What if Texas didn't lose to Florida?

What if the refs called A&M for the blatant hold in the ND game? Does Vandy get in the playoff?

Perhaps Cristobal should've spent more time breaking down film and less time tampering with Ty Simpson and the Duke QB.

100% chance that Miami wins. Indiana is gonna have their heart ripped out.
quote:

when a healthy, superior option (mensah), was going to enter the portal ?


To be fair to LSU, Mensah wasn't supposed to enter the portal. He had already signed a deal with Duke. Cristobal tampered with him on the last day because he was beyond desperate for a QB and convinced him to hit the portal.
If Saban convinced a top 5 pick to return to school the national media would be crucifying him - saying he only cares about winning games and doesn't give a crap about his player's financial future. Dan Lanning works behind the scenes to convince him to stay with a massive NIL deal and the media thinks it's wonderful.

What a joke. :rotflmao:

Just imagine what the media would say if Nick Saban or Kirby Smart did everything possible to keep a top 5 pick in school instead of looking out for their financial future. They would say that Saban and Smart only care about themselves and their record and not the well-being of their players. But Dan Lanning works behind the scenes to convince Moore to stay with a massive NIL deal and the media thinks it's wonderful. Ridiculous.
Miami is so desperate because Cristobal can't develop a QB that he actually signed out of HS to save his life. :rotflmao:
quote:

I don’t know what to say other than letting Keeley walk may have been a mistake.



Just to play devil's advocate, most people forgot he was still on the team until the 2nd half of the season. Also, I don't think we let him walk. I think he always wanted to go to ND but they didn't give him a bag out of HS.
I mean, we kind of did this to ourselves. We (the SEC) were all buying blue chip recruits for decades when other conferences weren't. They (specifically the big ten) complained about that and now paying players is legal, and the big ten has gone all in on NIL.

How badly did Kiffin butcher QB1?

He could have had Leavitt but got cute and it blew up in his face. Now, Leavitt will wind up at Miami and LSU will be screwed.
