6'6, 333 pound OT Tommy Kinsler talks team pickup games: "I'm the point guard"

[DMoney]

While Francis Mauigoa and Samson Okunlola received most of the attention in the ‘23 OL class, several inside the building felt the most talented signee was 6’6, 333-pound OT Tommy Kinsler from Ocala. Kinsler met with the CanesInSight Podcast to discuss spring football and more:

He's been playing there all spring.

He's been playing there all spring.

Thank you. Been out of the loop since start of the year. New job and hardly on the board.

Curious to see the OL two deep come fall camp once Francis is back.

 

[Golsen82]

We recruiting his brother?

 

[JHallCanes]

**** this is great. Reminder to call my mom.

 

[CoachChin]

We have so many tackles. Love his mentality to work his way up but hope he’s willing to be patient as well

Wasn’t that long ago we had a 270 pound 3* freshman starting at left tackle. Tackle bodies move to the interior easier than vice versa.

"We had a few spots in Gainesville, like Dave and Buster's."

 

[Silver King]

OL should be playing a lot of basketball (Handball was great in the old days). Athletic OL are such a plus

Rather than sit the bench in 2024, wish theyd give him a chance to grab LG.

Of the 4 LG candidates(Samson, Lou, McCoy, Kinsler) he seems the most physically adapt to handle LG.

Shoutout to Gainesville D&B…

Kinsler, Samson and Francis I hope are the core of the 2025 OL. Thats a championship core right there. 2025 will be Mauigoa last year anyway so we have to get Kinsler ready to be the next guy up.

I can only imagine seeing a 6’6” 330lb. behemoth of a man dropping dimes on the court is a sight to behold.

 

[ZuCrew]

We not getting an official Spring Game write up, @DMoney?

 

[gacaneaddict]

Im starting Kinsler to LG movement.

Get Mirabal on the horn

How many points does this pickup hoops team beat last season's Iowa or South Carolina women's teams by? I'm thinking 26. Discuss.

Zion Williamson is 6'6" 415lbs.
