Looking forward to seeing what Nike comes up with next year. I had ChatGPT show me what Nike may come up with for the Miami Hurricanes based on what they have come up for other teams that have an apparel agreement with them.
DB: Didn’t realize Ewald moved from CB to S. Makes me wonder if he transfers after the season.
DB: I REALLY want more JJ Dunnegan. I like what I’ve seen. But whose snaps do you take?
LB: Their run defense doesn’t make up for the coverage issues IMO. I want more Wiley & Bonner.
DB: Overall, I thought the DBs played well. OJ Frederique is probably our best CB.
DB: OJ just can’t stay healthy. Looks like the shoulder again. Hopefully he’s back for Notre Dame.
DE: Same as DT—dominant flashes but too many quiet stretches. Overall, good.
DE: Armando Blount really jumped out. I liked Lightfoot too, and Wilson to a lesser extent.
LB: My biggest concern. Smith & Toure are solid vs the run but struggle badly in coverage.
OL: SJ didn’t look good. Rodriguez snapped it well, but not much push. I want more Cantwell.
OL: I’m not panicking about the OL. Mirabal has earned my trust.
DT: Dominant at times, too quiet at others. Overall, I thought the DTs played well.
RB 3: I like Mallory over Pringle. He missed one cutback, but looked really good for a freshman.
TE: Lofton is moving better. Briggs, Mueller & Ruskavich make me feel good about the future at TE.
OL: Pancake looked like our best OL. I wasn’t impressed with the interior push.
WR: Malachi Toney is a BEAST! That almost goes without saying at this point.
RB: I think Jordan Lyle is our best RB. He just needs to stay out of the doghouse.
RB: CharMar looked good. Fletcher still concerns me. He misses opportunities and doesn’t have great vision.
QB thoughts: Mensah is a BEAST!
2: Nickel (partially) played with Miami’s 2s vs Stanford’s 1s. That matters. I need to see more.
3: My early Nickel take: limited ceiling, but a high floor. I’ll keep watching his development.
@HeatDiehards Wade was without a doubt better than Kobe and LeBron during this time period. Wade was a team player, he asked to come off the bench in the Olympics even though he was the best player.
