We can’t close on elite/very good portal DTs for sure but there aren’t many of them and when they are in they are a hot commodity.That's the million dollar question, we can't even pay dudes to come play DT out the portal
Not true.Well then we probably won't hear from him at all this fall on that roster
agreed. their top 4 DTs all logged 250+ snaps, they're returning 3 of their 4 top DTs. Malone steps in to be #4 now. They were also after Tank Booker from UMD who ended up at Ark i believe.Not true.
Most of their DLine is unproven young guys.
Malone had the same production as one of their starters Ty Hamilton.
He’ll get plenty of reps, Oh ST DLine is not as stacked as it normally is, hence why they hit the Portal this year.
We had RJ McIntosh, Kendrick Norton and Gerald Willis all on the same roster at one point. It hasn't been that long since we had star DTs.can’t blame a 20 year problem on 1 coach
Unless there’s a drastic change Rose isn’t happening either. Hence why I’m talking Malone . Malone was the guy and that’s why they were on him as hard as they were. Him starting here wasn't because he’s good because he’s not anything special , it’s because we have nothing but LT and Deen that’s actually proven anything. With Moten having some potential.He could've started here? After only playing 93 snaps a season ago.
I think some of you guys are overeating this guy. He would've been a rotational piece that added size to the room.
Rose has a better chance starting here than this guy Malone.
Thanks to this guy here.Unless there’s a drastic change Rose isn’t happening either. Hence why I’m talking Malone . Malone was the guy and that’s why they were on him as hard as they were. Him starting here wadnt bwcuaee he’s good because he’s not anything special , it’s because we have nothing but LT and Deen that’s Origen anything. With Moten having potential.
Btw why do you suppose Miami tried so hard to make this happen? Why do you suppose we kept adding Dt’s and still searching for more? They were both takes and that’s after taking Deen and Gore earlier in the pre spring. Do you know how crazy that is in todays football? That means your depth/ talent is atrocious.
I think we all agree that adding one more DT makes sense. However, the staff brought Lichtenstein, Gore, Deen, Moten, and Horton here to play DT. Mesidor has taken snaps at DT. Bain saw time lined up inside in the spring. Taylor and Hunte have played a ton of ball.The problem is... Taylor and Hunte didn't play in the spring at all due to injury, Deen missed time late in the spring with an injury, Gore is borderline useless at this level, and Lichtenstein has battled injuries every year of his 6 year career including most of last year.
Moten is your only DT above 290 pounds.. even though they list Taylor at 305 despite struggling to get above 280.
The body types in that room aren't right. Rose and/or Malone didn't fix that but it could have helped. Recruiting HS is where it needs fixed and they aren't landing anything. I don't buy anything that I hear about this massive DT haul in 2024 until I see it happen. Everyone in America wants all of those guys and are going to pay more than we will. Fat Joe hasn't proved he can land anyone yet.
When does fat Joe get the axe?Unless there’s a drastic change Rose isn’t happening either. Hence why I’m talking Malone . Malone was the guy and that’s why they were on him as hard as they were.

Has Mario ever done anything wrong in your eyes?Thanks to this guy here.
So if there anyone else they are looking at or do we have what we have for next year?Unless there’s a drastic change Rose isn’t happening either. Hence why I’m talking Malone .

Yes, a lot of things actually but it is not his fault that our roster has so many holes and a lack of depth. That’s YEARS of recruiting mismanagement and you can‘t fix it all in one year, especially in the trenches.Has Mario ever done anything wrong in your eyes?
None of those guys was highly ranked and they weren’t stars except Willis. McIntosh was a 3 star DE. Norton best position was guard and he was a 3 star. Willis was a transfer. We haven’t had many just 4 star DTs the last 20 yearsWe had RJ McIntosh, Kendrick Norton and Gerald Willis all on the same roster at one point. It hasn't been that long since we had star DTs.
You are really overrating what we currently have… LT has all the talent in the world but is inconsistent, hopefully he takes the next step. After that, we lost our other starter last year in DJ and JHH is just okay at best. Deen is a dog by all accounts but we need way more. We can blame coaching all we want and it was an abomination last year but that’s not the only reason we went 5-7 with blowouts against Mid Tenn State and Duke. Miami has good talent in spots but we have too many holes where the talent is G5 level.He could've started here? After only playing 93 snaps a season ago.

Rose has a better chance starting here than this guy Malone.
