ESPN: Bain #5 pass rusher in college football

[bobbydigius]

We throw that word around all the time…

ELITE

Rarely does it actually correctly apply. We might have one on hand this time where it does.

 

[TRick72]

Yea we need an elite DT to see the true capability of Bain. Mesidor is a huge add on piece that will help. If Scott steps in and does a Bain then we good. If he’s a bust or jag we ****ed in the interior. Bain did that and to me imo LT was ordinary a lot of the time (for being a 5 star)

Let’s not forget the other 2 Five star DL/Edge in Blount & Lightfoot. Obviously it would be great if one of those guys had a Bain type freshman year but if you can get 1 or 2 to give you a Nyjalik Kelly type year I think it will free up Bain/Messidor and company to have a much better year.

Thanks for taking the gratuitos shot in an otherwise positive article; Hale — you fat ******.

He'd fit right in here with the rest of the CIS posters taking gratuitous shots at the program. Most aren't wrong. But every friggin post has to have that gotcha in it.

 

[grover]

We had so many injuries at DE that we literally switched to a three man front because we couldn’t play two ends at a time.

And stood up JHH.

I think LF is too small right now pause

Blount is still very young IDK what to expect from him

 

[JG13]

Former Cane Elijah Roberts came in at #12

Bryant was a marginal 5 star at one point. Can we get anything out of him? What about that kid, McConathy, who racked up massive TFLs and sacks in HS. Or Artavious Jones on the interior. ... We gotta find 3 guys who can unleash Bain on opposing QBs.

I believe pause wise, he’s very similar to Kelly when he arrived. I think as a pass rusher he can give you some production like Kelly did his freshman season.

I agree Blount is too young to expect anything out of him at DT but I think he can give some reps at DE. Whether it’s Blount, Lightfoot or one of the other DL/Edge we signed this class, I think one will give you some decent Kelly type production this year, even it’s a combination of players adding up to that. We signed 8 DL/Edge this class, some of them are going to play.

And stood up JHH.

He was really solid as a 3/4 end

It's part of the reason I'd still like to see some 3-3-5. We have plus options for the TITE front. Mesidor, Bain, JHH are all excellent 5-tech candidates. If Clark can hold the point better than the options we tossed out there last season, then it comes down to whether our standup/Jack/OLB gives us any kind of advantage. Alston seems like a decent candidate there. Not sure Malik Bryant would take a leap. There are a lot more options, it seems.

I really liked the fact that we could play 3-3-5 too and was a bit disappointed when Guidry said he wants to exclusively run a 4 man front. We definitely have the horses to run a modern 3-3-5 and there’s better options for the standup OLB this year. I liked Jafari Harvey but he looked awkward in space. Alston is tailor made for the role and a guy like Bryant would be great for that role too.

And Bain did all this barely playing at first. He could've been #1

Lightfoot absolutely is not too small to make an impact in the pass rush game watching his progression this spring

Not gonna have him setting the edge and playing run defense but you let guys like him and Pickett come in a pin their ears back

I know the next guy is always better but Lightfoot and Pickett absolutely abusing the best kids in the country during the all star games were all I needed to see

Mesidors health will go a long way. He’s gonna do the dirty work and give Bain a breather. I’ll say it again it was the most impressive freshman season in my memory given what was asked of Bain last year

But I’m with you I am looking for Bryant to take a step. That kid is a beast.

He was so good as a freshman-

Can’t wait to see him this coming season-
