2027 now 2026 TE Mark Bowman

[cway313]

I think our TE’s eat this year.

That would seem like a smart idea, all things considered.

Same school as Chris Henry Jr.

Hope the kid doesn't pull his boy with him to Methville.

Not just Chris Henry Jr, Dixon-Watt is also a buckeye commit and HS teammate. So you know somehow that ****** from SFE will be on the sideline in full OSU gear when they come and play STA in the fall.

@Rellyrell will likely ask how many of the final 7 are Nike schools. Most (all?) Mater Dei kids end up at Nike schools.

The odds are grim here for Adidas schools

@Rellyrell , any intel here?

Supposedly an Arizona, Colorado battle; but, I’ll dig up more info from my lil homie who’ll play them this season.

Just understand, it’s incredibly hard to pull Mater Dei kids, & I’ve explained y before. The likelihood of a 3-stripe school pulling a highly ranked Mater Dei kid is slim to none. In fact, I can’t recall any blue chip Mater Dei kid attending a 3-stripe school in the past 10 yrs.

2025:
Chuck - Alabama
Nasir - Oregon
Jordon - Oregon
Abduall - Alabama

2024:
Zabien - Alabama
Aydin - Oregon
Brandon - Texas
Nate - UGA
Elijah -...

Agreed, i was done on how Dawson has utilized Arroyo last year, criminally underutilized

TrumpyCane agrees

Our offense struggled last year

Methinks Mario has a new CIS law of recruiting to overcome

Post in thread 'How Many CIS Laws of Recruiting Can Mario Eradicate?'

May 15, 2025

48. Elite Mater Dei recruits don't commit to Addidas (three stripe) schools.

This breakdown by @Rellyrell is an ironclad law of recruiting (10 years worth of evidence)

Arroyo the most talented offensive option

Arroyo had his most yards in game 1

Arroyo went 9 straight games with 3 catches or less ( didn’t have a catch vs Louisville)

Arroyo could have been a 1st round pick if he had more production . Hes going to absolute eat in the NFL

 

[lindend]

If Mario reels in Bowman, a record breaking number of CIS Laws of Recruiting will be wiped out by one recruit

41. High 4*/5* Mater Dei recruits are west coast mercenaries and will never commit/play for UM until we're a powerhouse again.​

42. High 4*/5* Mater Dei recruits will commit to USCw all things being equal and as long as USCw doesn't stink.​

43. If high 4*/5* Mater Dei recruits leave CA they will only leave for an established powerhouse.​

48. Elite Mater Dei recruits don't commit to Addidas (three stripe) schools.​

These are **** good TE numbers. I think some posters wanted a “Kellen Winslow - 2003” type season from Arroyo and that wasn’t realistic. Nobody can guarantee Bowman unlimited targets.

The top 5 TEs drafted this year

Tyler Warren- 6.5 catches per game

Mason Taylor- 4.6 catches per game

Terrance Ferguson- 3.6 catches per game

Elijah Arroyo- 2.7 catches per game

It’s not all play calling. Some QB’s prefer to throw to certain positions, and locations on the field. it was clear that Ward liked to throw deep to his WR’s, more than intermediate and short to his TE’s and RB’s. Going back many years, Testeverde, like Ward, liked to throw deep to his WR’s. His successor Steve Walsh (not the same cannon arm), liked to throw to his TE’s and RB’s.

We always act like everything is on the OC. QB’s make a lot of choices. Beck LOVED throwing to Bowers, as any QB would have. So I expect more throws to the TE’s this season.

Michigan and PSU QB’s attempted a lot more passes to their TE’s than UM/Ward.

It’s just like a point guard in basketball. Some like to drive and kick which is good for their wings. Others like the Pick N Roll which benefits their bigs.

chad simmons says he likes miami's chances more with israel briggs than with bowman.

And?

TrumpyCane thinks your point would be more valid if the offense struggled

 

[CANESCANES]

Work smarter not harder. Miami would have beat GT and Syracuse if they used him correctly. He should of had double digit TDs being the mismatch nightmare he is

I remember the WRs struggling to get open against FSU and beating man press, instead of force feeding Arroyo

Cam Ward is so special is why Miami had the #1 offense

 

[Calinative]

TrumpyCane agrees

Our offense struggled last year

Mopes can't help themselves but find something to ***** about. When we win our 6th National Title, they'll be talking about how it took too long, wasn't dominant enough, we got lucky, and are going to lose too much talent the following year....

I’m a realist, im not being critical for the **** of it

I was talking about these issues all last season while it was happening

It you think the most talented offensive option having the LEAST amount of catches per game out of all the TEs drafted this year outside of 3 blocking TEs is moping, then you should get help

So why didn’t Cam throw to Arroyo? A QB as smart and off script as Cam who had freedom to change the plays? You really think Dawson or Mario prevented Cam from throwing to Arroyo? Nonsense. Cam made those decisions based on where he liked to throw, deep and outside.

What is your answer for why Cam did not throw more to Arroyo?

**** and TrumpyCane thought we lost the Syracuse game because Syracuse dropped 40+ on us

Of course it’s Shannon Dawson offense, TE isn’t the first read in his offense

Probably because he had a lot of very experienced talented WRs to throw to that consistently got open.
