The Current State of Florida Programs

Something UCF fans need to UNDERSTAND: filling your roster with DBs, RBs and QBs when the team needs are OL and WR accomplishes NOTHING. The transfer class numbers and related rankings mean NOTHING when the needs are ignored and not addressed.

Keep falling for the Malzahn hype tho. Understand that the Orlando media is weak and they will never ask any though questions of or challenge Gus Malzahn in any way.
UCF needs more guys like Barrow.

I’d say that from an MSU standpoint, the only one that hurt us was Harmon. It was the DTs where we cared about losing players and Harmon was our best. Barrow was a decent player, but constantly injured. Everyone else MSU lost was not a real impact player. Since this article was written, MSU added two more dlinemen.

From The Athletic

"It’s become the go-to line of critics whenever Mario Cristobal and Miami have enjoyed an off-the-field victory since the season ended in December.

It’s usually some variation of the following:

Sure, the guy just signed another top-10 recruiting class, but who cares if he can’t even take a knee?

Or …

Yes, they landed one of the best quarterbacks in the transfer portal, but Cristobal lost six games in two seasons with Justin Herbert as his QB at Oregon."

...

"Still, we all can agree there are plenty of reasons not to believe in Miami. Let’s take a look at some history:

• Cristobal is 74-73 as a head coach and 12-13 at Miami. That’s the definition of mid.

• Miami has had one 10-win season since the late Sean Taylor led them to their last major bowl victory in 2003.

• Miami has recruited top-20 talent for the better part of the last 15 years and badly underperformed. The program signed on average the 17th-best recruiting class from 2009 to 2019 yet finished a season ranked in the final AP Top 25 poll only three times with those classes composing the core of the roster.

• Of the 25 players to leave the program via the portal since the end of the season, 18 were brought in by Cristobal in the last two years and not by predecessor Manny Diaz. So math tells us there will be more misses by Cristobal among the 13 transfers and 27 high school recruits he’s added to the roster.'

All of this just proves how hypocritical Bozo Knight is with his posts. 🤣
 
Gus Malzon bringing in two transfer RBs so they can sit on the bench. Dude burning NIL on a squad of DBs, RBs and QBs. Not developing his own OL, TE or WR. So he doesn’t plan on playing the incoming freshmen RB? They’ll transfer in December if only the transfers get burn.

And, where’s the beef? Where are the VIABLE OL and TE 2024 transfers. Miami:

Christolowertierbowl and Billy are Top 7 College Football Coaches

College football's 7 most overrated coaches, ranked ft. Sam Pittman


6. Mario Cristobal, Miami

Cristobal just keeps getting hired into good jobs. He inherited a great situation at Oregon and is now tasked with completing the Miami rebuild. The question is, frankly, why? Cristobal has a career 74-73 record. His one undeniably great year was 2019 at Oregon, when the Ducks won the Rose Bowl. He has only one other team that finished in the top 25 in his dozen years of college football coaching.
The best thing Cristobal has done is recruit, most notably at Alabama. Recruiting football players to come to Alabama is like recruiting gamblers to come to Las Vegas. His in-game decisions have already bewildered Hurricane fans and media members.

2. Billy Napier, Florida

Napier got the Florida job because he had lifted the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns to respectability. That said, in two seasons, he's pretty clearly learned that it's a lot harder to rise through the SEC than through the Sun Belt.Specifically, in two seasons at UF, Napier has lost consecutive games to Kentucky, lost to Vanderbilt and failed to post a winning season. Before anyone blames talent, he had Anthony Richardson at quarterback in year one. Napier has just looked thoroughly overmatched. But don't take our word for it...

Gus Malzahn is developing ZERO of his UCF high school recruits. Dude is depending on Heupel players and transfer portal guys.

Lol. Look at the latest transfer portal WR. Malzahn has no young players better than him? Failure.
 
Miami #16 - Central Florida #UNRANKED

Fight On!

USC writer keeping receipts & giving Christolowertierbowl hell. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Mario Cristobal, Miami ranked ahead of USC in post-spring top 25

"Cristobal, far more than Lincoln Riley and USC, has struggled at his current job. Riley at least had an 11-win season in 2022. Cristobal has not come remotely close to a New Year’s Six bowl or ACC championship at Miami. Cristobal has struggled to develop high-end offensive talent in Coral Gables. Yes, he has a roster which — on paper — looks very good this season. Still, Cristobal deserves less benefit of the doubt than Lincoln Riley does. It isn’t showing up in the rankings, which reinforces how skeptical a lot of media outlets are toward USC and Riley."

This could be their year. Clemson has not added any Spring Transfers and FSU has DJ U who has been disappointing in his college career. FSU is still probably better but Clemson is trending down.

This very year well could be ...

Or...

The u's thin, Matt Lee-less On3 No. 8 offensive line could be revealed as a sham, its "paymaking" quarterback could be put out for the season in Game 1 against the Gayts, and its 74th-ranked rushing attack could struggle to average fewer rushing yards than its 173 per game total last season.

Meanwhile, the u's defense, which returns only four starters (Rubeun Bain, Wesley Bissainthe, Francisco Mauigoa, and Damari Brown from its final regular season game against Boston College) could get carved by Graham Mertz, Byrum Brown, Heisman dark house Kyron Drones, Haynes King, Tyler Slough, and DJ Uiagalelei.

But who knows? Maybe this will be the year.

EDIT: I am pulling for the u to win the ACC and make the CFP because Gus and UCF will have their easiest postseason road by facing off against a program that is 1-11 in bowl games.

You would think that Miami fans would have learned not to listen to offseason hype by now.
I almost replied to him, but I exhibited strength and restrained.

Ole JD is going to be in quite a Pickell when On3's "8th-ranked offensive line" falls apart without Herb Hand-developed Matt Lee and $cam Ward is counting checks in some Miami hospital ward due to u's options at right tackle having zero starts and only 18 combined "game appearances."

Samson Okunlola, 3 game appearances
Matthew McCoy, 15 game appearances

That's the only place where Miami ever wins anything anymore...the offseason. And low self esteem people like Bozo Cane still insist on hanging on to those off season wins, because without them, they have nothing.
 
Kaboom boom boom!

MIDami!



Offers:
Miami Hurricanes
UCF Knights (conditional)
Troy Trojans
Charlotte 49ers

Lamo “conditional”. I trust the OL evaluations from Cristobal and Mirabal over those of any ON3 or 247 nerd (Rivals is a dead network and irrelevant).

Also UCF’s highest ranked 2024 recruit won’t be enrolling at UCF or anywhere in FBS. Academically ineligible due to piss poor grades.

This explains the lack of of interest in him…never had a shot at qualifying. Welp.
