Miami WR Cager to Transfer
- Thread starter Hayes30

Noland did not regress, he just was not mobile, and not super accurate. Purdy, as far as I can see, has a pretty complete skill set, which will make it harder for DCs to zero in on him. Sometimes he has trouble with his reads, but he is still a freshman. I think the QB coach is a pretty good one too. Part of the problem with CPR is that there was a lot of changes in QB coaches with his staff. Continuity in the coaching staff is very important.
I think it did end though, when Kyle got hurt; and not benched like Park and Zeb. It was going to be KK's last season anyway so we can't know for sure that Brock would've permanently supplanted him (...he would have). If Re-Al passes Brock the trend might be real but it'll be one that we all fall in love with because it means Re-Al is really ****ing good. That said, I think Brock is ISU's starting QB for three more years.
Sort of off subject but this is a fantastic rant by a Miami radio guy a few year ago.
Guy had an ACL as a sophomore and was extremely under-utilized as a junior.

"Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Lawrence Cager is one of the most efficient in the ACC according to Pro Football Focus.
The eponymous football metrics site sent out a Tweet on Wednesday that listed Cager as the fourth best wide receiver in ACC with a minimum of 25 targets when measured by quarterback rating. Miami Hurricanes quarterbacks have a rating of 129.8 when targeting the Redshirt Junior wide receiver."

I would say Kempt getting hurt continues the trend of this "ISU QB Syndrome". ISU can't seem to keep a QB healthy for an extended period. Jantz, Barnett, Richardson, and Kempt all got knocked out at one point or another by injuries, and the next guy had to roll in (or in some cases come back from being out due to injury), creating these continual QB "controversies". The years of subpar OL play takes its toll. How many games did Baker Mayfield miss at OU in three years?

When he does a QB sneak, what I want you to do is PULL A KNIFE AND STICK HIM. SHOW ME YOU CARE!
I did notice that despite a decent 6 touchdowns, Cager’s total yardage on the year was something like 365 yards. Two games for Hakeem.
“The U” quarterbacks must have been awful.

247 says we are going after this receiver.
When I saw the thread title, my first thought was that it was a guy that played WR and basketball.
Do youngins even know the term "cager" for BB player?
FWIW: Cager averaged 17.8 yards per reception on 21 receptions, which would have tied him with OU's CeeDee Lamb for 31st in the nation in YPR if Cager would've have had enough receptions to qualify for the rankings (23). But I think it says something about Miami's QBs and overall offensive scheme that they are only getting their big play receiver 21 catches for the year. Hakeem had 60 catches in 2018 so it's obvious why Cager might be interested in the Cyclones.
Read some small town Iowa papers and you are still likely to read about cagers, thinclads, and gridders. Not to mention you get to see rebounds referred to as carroms.
