Yes there are hundreds of kids each year who don’t get picked up and drop a level or more. Some even just quit playing because they or their’people’ drastically overestimated their worth and burned bridges.
Jeremiah Smith hasn’t hit the portal but I wouldn’t be surprised. He’s been quoted as saying he would’ve went to Miami if they were this good when he came out of high school.
I told people last night that if the NFl got rid of the 3 year rule, if would help college football immensely. That way kids like smith go to the nfl and colleges don’t end up paying him 5 million for one year.
I agree he could be gone to a higher bidder
Anything is possible but Ohio State has a returning QB while Beck is going pro. Seems like a tough sell unless it's a package deal with an elite QB.
Smith is one of the very kids that could have easily gone pro after a year and been ready.
He was ready for the NFL as a freshman. A complete athletic freak.
That would be hilarious. He should test the market. Why not? It’s not like he has familial ties or anything to Ohio State or Ohio. They are fungible items
He supposedly is getting $4 million this year, so the U might have to up the ante.
Did any Miami USHER chirp in his ear, and hug him for 30 seconds after the game, couldn't have hurt.
Speaking of The U wideouts, Michael Irvin acted like the South end of a horse moving North last night. Talk about a guy who still craves the spotlight. Let the kids have their day in the sun. Irvin took his belt off, showed everyone his abs, than cracked his belt with a bad look on his face. What a DOLT! He's probably thrilled they didn't do drug checks for individuals on the sideline while he was there the way he acted.
The only way to slow his BS down is to tell him Ray Isom is around and he’s looking for him.
The conflict in my head about who I wanted to lose more was raging.
Even their WR brought some smoke . Mario mentioned that in an interview today .
I stll recall very clearly when he grew alligator arms vs our '86 team when Isom and crew knocked him senseless over and over.
