Miles Jones to Enter Transfer Portal

Frustrating not seeing players like this pan out


...or never hear from.  You'd think maybe he could at least help out at WR :dunno

Guessing this is one of those recruited over scenarios. Obviously Wan'Dale's talents are pretty amazing plus I think the staff will bring in another player that fits these skill sets in the current recruiting cycle.

 
Will be interesting to see where he ends up if he goes P5 or ends up going back to Florida and ending up at FAU/USF/UCF.

 
I realize the 2018 class was Frost's first class, and in many ways a fire drill to fill open scholarships, but with that being said, I'm curious as to why the attrition rate is so high. These were guys that the staff thought were at least somewhat a good fit for what Frost wants to do here, and were worth spending the scholarship money on. Then again, I don't know what the average attrition rate is for Big10 schools when it comes to guys leaving. 9 seems like a high number, but maybe it's not too outrageous once the data is examined.....

I'd say the fire drill comparison is pretty apt. Just look at the 19 class for some relief of your worries. We are gonna hold onto alot more of those guys.

 
It’s frustrating too because 2016 wasn’t even a fantastic class or anything. We had several players from that class who either didn’t pan out or are off the team now.

But we’d be in a much better spot if ‘17 had the same number of players making contributions as the ‘16 class.

Bootle, Spielman, Lamar Jackson, Miller, Wilson, Stoll, Stille, Domann, Farniok, and Dismuke. Some of those guys definitely have some flaws, but they’re at least contributing. ‘17 contributors are Jaimes, Damion Daniels, and Austin Allen.  :blink:

Of those 9, we also have 3 suspended currently so that exacerbates that number. I definitely think the rush to fill the class impacted things a lot.

Ya, I know Frost didn't have much time to evaluate and establish relationships with the 2018 guys, and that's why I give him more of a pass on that class. On the surface, it looked like a guy like Jones would be a good fit, and there was definitely opportunities to get on the field this year. But, maybe he was one of the ones who just didn't want to work as hard as Frost demanded.....

Exactly. Even the competition provided from more depth would have been a huge plus.
