Yes, that’s an option. This staff recruited him to play end, but I guess if they were desperate. Keenan Cupit also played LB/RB in high school. He was bulked up to 250lbs and moved to DE, but he could be a potential body to move back and provide insurance.
They are. Income has to be reported. Taxes have to be paid. In a few years you will see athletes getting into trouble for not filing taxes.
Yep, because the players will be getting income from multiple sources....and not many 18-19 year olds will know how to file taxes.....I can only imagine that most of it is currently not reported.
To your last question MAR played 2 ways in hs, as a safety and rb. I think he will have a breakout season at rb but if needed, JR/bowser/mcdonald and rj harvey give us so much depth at rb. MAR could join the LBs as a hybrid type
I feel MAR is too close to the top of the RB depth chart to make this change. Can Gatewood hit anybody? Good size and speed. Don’t see him making an impact at WR.
P5 with an NIL component.....no shock there.
Free body guards should he decide to go off campus? (used to live there, was a nice city to visit; family still lives there and are finding other places to go.)I wonder what they offered him? Hmmmmm
IDK, there is still something to be said about people you know versus the bag of unknowns that come with most portal players.
Looks like Henderson class of 22 played linebacker out of HS. Once again a large learning curve for a true freshman.
you mean one of our light for cornerback twins? they need to get in the weight room to play CB moreover linebacker.
We shall see (or maybe we’ll never know). Let’s just wait and see how the chips fall. Just seems awfully suspicious the kid would go through a recruiting process, announce they are going somewhere, and then pull out a week later. Just saying, this is going to be the way many recruits go nowadays. They can flip on programs anytime they want for a myriad of reasons.
MAR won’t play DB at all and you boys believe he would play a hybrid LB/S position? What are you boys smoking and where can buy some?
Pretty sure this was an off-season hypothetical type of answer. Our RB room is packed and our LB room is thin. He was answering who out of all the RB could play LB (think Myles Jack at UCLA). MAR was a 4* “Athlete” coming out of HS as I’m sure you are aware. At 6’1 215 he would be the one to play LB in an absolutely emergency situation, so he was correct.
MAR is a RB and that’s the only position he will play. Forget him. You boys think you can switch a RB to LB like that?
You're being overly critical man. The guy who posted about MAR playing LB might be a kid or someone new to football.
We took 2 future NFL WRs and made them CB’s for a season. Ohio State had success with Steele Chambers and is doing it again with DeaMonte Traynum, and Michigan moved Hassan Haskins to linebacker for awhile. This is not a rare thing in college football. Maybe at Miami but then you gotta look at what else has been rare at Miami.

I don’t think NIL was a big factor. Seems like playing at the “P5” level was the biggest thing. I think he will be a solid player if he stays healthy.
Lets face it, Miami is trash. They are the Nebraska of FL. Trying to gloat about the 80s and 90s but neither have won anything in two decades. LoboCane is the prototype from that fanbase: never stepped foot on campus, carryover Dolphins fan, and always buys into the hype that “this is the year we are back”. Im sure when Miami beats Bethune -cookman 21-10 he will be on here telling us how great their defense is
Agreed, really only a few programs with fans/boosters like Texas that can throw around money to significant amount of players. Vast majority of schools have only establish star players cashing in or the very top high school recruits.
