Are you going to share picks of Chafie Fields scoring the last minute TD over Rumph and Reed?
Otherwise, not sure what your point is.

Love Bandy, he’s a dog and one of my favorite players, but man ima be a little scurrred seeing him lineup on the boundary with a 6’4 receiver
 
"We have been very impressed with things we’ve seen from Nigel Bethel. "
I thought it may take a couple of yeas of development here but the coaches are doing am excellent job and when they recruited him they saw the ability. He has that HS national elite exceeding times in the 100m, 200, and 400m. The S&C is great as look at the muscle Ivey, Hall, etc. have packed on in seven months.

I'm on record saying Dean and Jackson will go in the first 2 rounds on the NFL draft... let's hope that's the case for them and the team

I can't remember the game, but Dean had the easiest pick ever if he would've had a 20 inch vertical instead of an 8. Guy was on quicksand. You aren't playing in the league at dB with an 8 inch vertical.
 
"Mahoney, once viewed as a fringe starter, graded out the best of UM’s offensive linemen early in camp and has solidified his starting position."

I did not think initially he would pan out this good. Milo has all but disappeared and he was rated higher.
 
It did sound like a very positive article, looks like even the water boy got praised. Its good to hear, but the coaches are also hyping the players up, LSU is not FAMU so they have to be at their mental best!

Multiple praises from multiple people for Blades.

It's always fun when our fans cite one incident as a reason to incessantly hate on our players and denounce the prospect of their improvement.

Reminds me of the KC McDermott cry babies from last offseason telling us it was the end of the world because KC was still on the team after his poor showing against ND in 2016.

That same McDermott was a solid LT for us last season

According to Pro Football Focus’ metrics, McDermott comes in as the 18th ranked tackle in the country, the McDermott has allowed one sack, two QB hits, and five QB hurries on on 340 pass blocking snaps. McDermott’s 98.2 pass blocking efficiency is among one of the best for the tackle position

The massive McDermott was a key cog for the Hurricanes success on offense this season, paving the way for the run game and protecting Malik Rosier’s blind side against some of the country’s best edge defenders. All told, McDermott’s final season in Miami saw him improve each facet of his game, most notably his run blocking as Hurricane running backs averaged 6.4 yards per carry when running to either his left or right.

I don't know what to expect from Dean, but I'm not giving up on the idea of him building off of his first year of FBS level football just because he got turned around on a play vs VT and couldn't adjust.
 
Wonder if no mention of Frierson is a motivational ploy or he's just really that raw.

Wasn’t Mahoney the one who helped Miami recruit bar milo years back? Sometimes blessings comes in ways you wouldn’t expect

I doubt It, rumph had said frierson makes more plays than Ivey recently. I dont think we can glean to much of the non mention in this because just like last week when posters on here was stating Hightower wasn’t mentioned after a few practices and then all of a sudden richt raves about him on Monday in his press conference

Dean.... the kid has length and can run but man he has to improve his ability to play the ball in the air if he is gonna get draft consideration against VT and Wisconsin he had some awful plays

Also good news on Nigel Bethel and Pat Joyner... this staff knows how to recruit "elite" level 3 star talents as well. The praise of Nigel Bethel should give the defensive staff even more trust in moving Frierson to safety if necessary.

Noticed that too, he was mentioned a lot in spring. He must've hit a freshmen wall mentally. Pleasantly surprised though Blades has showed out after arriving late.
