East Tennessee State OL Transfer Johnathan Cline transferring to Miami

[Highline17]

fine, older depth. I’m cool with it. I hope we are still looking in whatever ways for a true starter preferably LT. I have a sneaking suspicion we’re done here tho. I do love when lineman want to work for Mirabal and Mario, this is not the easy path that’s for sure.

There is absolutely no downside to bringing in big bodies like this, especially guys with experience. Costs us nothing.

 

[Genghis Cane]

Hey now we’ve had some studs move up. Had a guard go to LSU, a QB go to FSU, DE to TN, the best RB in the UFL the last 2 years, and a back that was better than him that probably would have been an SEC RB1 if the portal was what it is now about 4-5 years ago.

However… that was the exact reaction when everyone watched a kid bolt to LSU. Literally the talk of the town for a week or so.

Will Healy sells kids on the temporary stop to boost their stock and bolt to bigger programs. That’s his model. He’s trying to get some P4 programs (Tennessee and FSU specifically) to send kids there to play and develop instead of standing on the sideline for a year. Lost its traction when they got rid of the spring portal.

Imagine a system where P5 teams could loan players to G5 schools for a year or two of development — similar to professional soccer.

Kinda like Duke to us ?

Preseason award? What happened to the postseason awards? Just did nothing?

Harlan Gunn 2.0...........we can hope.

 

[Distructobot3000]

Did ryan Rodriguez ever get that additional year confirmed yet?

I wasn’t aware that his status with us was even in question. He’s pretty much been penciled in as the sure fire starter at Center in every 2026 projected OL depth chart discussion that I’ve seen

This that Thomas Gore/Lou Cristobal type pickup.

Better than that Tommy Kennedy pickup.

This guy at worst brings a big body for scout team, but I'm guessing he'll be more than that

We also send Georgia our cast offs who aren't ready to compete in the ACC.

There isn't any out there

 

[Boonsoon]

I pass ETSU every week. This is a wild pick up imo. I know nothing about ETSU football but have been meaning too get to a game lol

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

I know the rules have been changed blah blah blah....

But is there anything realistically stopping a grad transfer from changing teams outside of "the portal"?

I gotta think Mario and company are scouring the country looking at offensive lineman with this profile.

Essentially any student can withdraw enrollment from one school and enroll in another. Their availability would be based in the academic calendar. I imagine this will be common after spring football. The portal is really nothing but a database

His Uncle Kalvin and I go way back.. **** of a dresser!

If he's better then Lou Cristobal , I'm in .

Pretty sure he also needed approval for another yr as he was a R-Sr this yr

 

[gogeta4]

Nino Francavilla back fill.

Maybe the first time we did the allow a dude to go to another school to watch development thing that guys elude that we should do.

Pull from NFL draft, they can still drop. Also we could in theory pull another Xavier Lucas, and probably get sued again. Still both are highly unlikely.

Didn't we recruit him in HS?
