Does anyone on this site have updated info as to whether Bia Jobe ( DL ) and Payton Kirkland(OL) have actually transferred to Miami ? Our OL and DL are the biggest question marks going into the season and these are two important transfers. Is there anyone in our sports information department - if we have such a department - that can answer the question?
Thanks. guess my eyesight is failing now too.
Kirkland is not on the team. Boi Jobe is. Roster on the website will be updated soon to show that.

any rumblings out there on why Kirkland didn’t work out?
Kirkland probably transferred to Costco.

Thats too bad - even at the May Cleveland coach Martin event coaches were still hopeful that he would make it. I dont know why it didnt happen

I didn’t ask who I spoke to about the roster why Kirkland isn’t coming. Things happen, things change. Plethora of reasons why could be possible. Hopefully he otherwise found what he was looking for.

A sign of the times. We now have 20 players on our roster who started their college careers somewhere besides Miami. CM does a solid job of assimilating them into the Miami culture.

Great point. I think a lot of that success is because they focus on portal guys who they already had recruited or had a good relationship with, so not starting from scratch in such a whirlwind recruiting environment that the portal has become.

Just a guess, but I bet if you look at the rosters of all 134 FBS teams, the overall mean number of players who started their college football players elsewhere is probably greater than 20.
