We do have the budget but we gotta know by now there’s zero chance any team is landing all 3 of those guys. Just from a playing time and WR perspective

There’s no way….

Right?

This is my thought as well. It just seems impractical in the NIL age which to me is more akin to how a pro roster is assembled whereby you can’t overspend at one position.

There’s enough lawyers here where I don’t need to talk precedents

It just doesn’t happen for anyone. But hey I’m begging to be wrong here

Not a take. We need to get back to recruiting the Romeo Finleys, the Nigel Bethels, and Terrance Henleys. Pass on these 5* elite South Florida guys. I swear CIS ain't nothing but star whores Columbian Mafia *****.

FWIW I have no problem going after lower ranked guys who this staff identifies.

That said Sears is one of those 5 stars that is as good as his ranking.

I miss the days where you could promise a kid the world, then the second they got on campus you shove the D playbook into their chest and pack them off to the DB room. ;)

Believe its called a 'Dirty Dabo' although also known as 'Sabans rule'.

That along with a dodgy bag and Transfers were so rare the kids just copped it...

We've always been pretty big on keeping our word. But I definitely get what you mean. First thing packing into the portal they don't get it exactly their way now. Honestly that's why I'm such a big fan of Samson & the way he's conducted himself. How many other 5 stars you see that just put their nose down and work. Results be damned. Now he's finally getting his spot and you can see that development in his game. Kids a beast now & hunts those pancakes. Most physical lineman we got as of now.

OT or OG if you had to make your call right now?

I'd be content with him at either position but it just comes down to how you wanna set your line up. If it was me and seeing how physical he is combined with how much we run through our guards I put him at guard next to Jackson.

Yeah, Ultimately I think it just ends up being whoever actually plays best at OT. We already know McCoy and Samson can start at Guard. I think Buchanan is starting level OG sooner than later. Meriwhether has been said to be able to play both OT and OG…

Really the priority is finding the best OT opposite Cantwell. Guard we will be fine at regardless imo. I don’t particularly care which guy wins it, but If I guessed today I’d guess it’ll be Samson actually.

Actually when youre building a unit essentially from scratch this year as we are what's more important then their actual play is their communication and their style of play. Samson is a bully and fills the needs of a guard more than a tackle. For a guard style of play stands out far more than his level of play. When you have a kid also capable of dominance in his level of play that just makes it all the better. Samson when playing downhill is someone you have to account for. If I had to guess I'd say tackle opposite Jackson is probably merriwrather and if not him probably mccoy because that allows you to slide buchanon who I also believe is capable of starting as a freshman can start at guard. Tackle is far more difficult to play at a high level as a freshman.

I wonder about Meriweather. Why didn't he play that much for Georgia last year?

Obviously that doesn't mean he can't be good (look how K. Scott blossomed after coming here).
