Grad Transfer DL from Illinois?

Otherwise, he'll be a dud because of focus issues. Dude will probably get distracted by a dragonfly flying over the field:

Full disclosure, prior to watching the tv I thought your post was being so dramatic.

After watching the video, I’m not really sure what I just watched.

47 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 2 sacks, 2 passes defended and 1 blocked FG in 27 career games on a ****ty team. He's listed at 6-3, 300. There is absolutely no reason not to take him. It's not like we're full. We have the room. If he's not good, he sits on the bench.

This is slightly less production than what RJ gave us last year. It's almost double what Norton contributed. I'd be thrilled if Kool can get slightly more out of him. Huge addition.

Nothing major but he's supposedly very immature , pretty much a goof off. But then again so am i, and I'm pushing 40

A grown *** man to add to the DT rotation. It allows us to redshirt Briggs (if he comes) and not to have to lean on Silvera as much (ditto). I really have no idea how anybody who claims to be a UM fan can think this is a bad thing.
 
[MENTION=10782]paksat[/MENTION] there is no real downside to this move. He has experience in the trenches and is a redshirt junior, meaning he's developed. We'll have plenty of time to figure out how much he'll be able to help us. We've seen in the past where a new opportunity gives a player new incentive and motivation to perform. Let's hope that happens with Tito.
 
Big Body can not hurt, Willis, Ford, Bethel, Nesta and Tito not bad
Jackson, Garvin will be terrors next year as well

This is retarded to take a grad transfer at the 3tech DT spot. It honestly just makes no **** sense at all. Thats the spot we don't need help at.

What we needed was a grad transfer 1tech DT who can come in right away and take on double teams, because Ford and Silvera are young.

I really don't like this, and honestly to me this means the staff isn't confident at all we can land one of those big time DTs we're after.

Super in on this guy after the combo of this video and throwing a flag back in a ref's face and all these posters pearl clutching. Hope he puts it together for a season under Kool.

Of course Norton wasn't going to get much for stats. He was a gap plugger. He's why our LB's had so much room to move around. He will be hard to replace.
 
Hey, maybe he's got some Jalen Ramsey in him. Maybe he wants some Jalen Ramsey in him.

I don't really care either way because we added a graduate transfer at a huge position of need. This is fantastic news any way you cut it.

Plus, he's had decent production on a ****** team and appears to play mean despite his ability to cry on demand. Could be significant help and if not, decent, experienced depth. Love the move.

He played 3 years in a 3-4 defense he’s used to eating up blocks I’m sure.
