Canes Chatter Gone Wild: Message Board Post of the Day

Every morning Gary Ferman forces Matt Shodell to wake up extra early to identify the best recent fan CaneSport Message Board post. It could be a question, a statement, conjecture, even a food recipe (orange and green macaroni & cheese anyone)? Today’s winner (or loser, depending on your perspective):

Re those that think Israel Abrams will start next year … Posted by Sastrasberg: Abrams will not be starting for UM next year. If he signs in 2027 class, he’s 100% coming to redshirt in 2027. Any other notion is ridiculous, national championship contenders do not start true freshman. If he wants to be a starter, he’ll end up flipping to a school like Nebraska or Cal.

CaneSport’s Response: Mason Heintschel, Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, Bear Bachmeier and Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele might disagree with your assessment that true freshmen QBs can’t succeed at a high level. But your point is legitimate. It’s pretty rare for a true freshman to start and star from Game 1. And we’ve seen in the last few years that Miami will not hesitate to chase and pay for a top QB out of the portal. So with the unknown of Abrams and how he’ll fare it will be interesting to see if after this year the team thinks a guy like Luke Nickel, Judd Anderson or Dereon Coleman is ready. If not and the team does go the transfer route, there’s every likelihood Nickel and Anderson would leave after this season. That also holds true if Darian Mensah winds up returning for his senior season, which will depend on how he fares this year, of course.

Did Miami Need a 2nd Portal Window On Defense?

Yesterday we broke down the offense from a lack-of-second-portal-window perspective, analyzing if Miami got enough in the first window to make up for any roster deficiencies on that side of the ball. Today it’s the defenses turn. And we do see a couple of areas that could have used some more help.

WRs Could Be Best Group In Nation Top To Bottom
