How much credence should we put into any Miami rumor that will be floated in the press. Saban himself stated he would use mis information..so it makes it difficult to gauge if Miami would infact be interested in some of these available players. Some guys make huge sense..Like LeCharles Bently..Steve Hutchinson..(sp?)...but it seems like Championships are won with players other teams arent high on..then come in and perform at a top level.
Obviously would love to hear your prediction on our starting QB next year...but thats a given.
Again, thanks to Boomer for his answers and thanks to the rest of you for not turning this thread into a stupid pissing match.
I think minimal credence. I think it'll be interesting to see who our official Combine interviews are with because that will give us as much information as anything else. News out of Miami's camp is absolutely less than minimal. I have a friend who works in and around the Dolphins media and who, in times of Wannstedt, used to give me all sorts of stuff. We've had exactly 1 conversation in about a year since Saban took over.
The OL is interesting because Hutchinson and Bentley will be $35+ million guys. Would Nick use that cash on a line that Hud Houck is coaching? Not sure. Both are great players, but both will command serious cash. I'd imagine more low level linemen will be the targets.
Starting QB could be anyone. Gus Frerrotte has a strong a chance as anyone. Look for Matt Schaub, David Garrard and Patrick Ramsey to all be possibles. I know CK thinks Charlie Batch might be an answer in the short term. Who knows?
