is starting to look like he's got some real potential. I want to see how he holds up during the meat of the ACC schedule since we've played some of the worst defense America has to offer, but going back and watching some highlights, he's looked a lot better than I expected.

He looks awesome in pass protection and he's really ******* athletic for how big he is. I couldn't believe how well he moved and how long his arms were. He's a son of a bltch to get around and did a great job protecting Kaaya in that Nebraska game, I thought. He was stoning people and moving his feet insanely well for a 6'8'' Nigerian.

Vs the run he seems to lean sometimes and get off balance, but I have to admit, pleasantly surprised so far, hope he continues to improve. We'll see what he's got coming up.

CRAZY! the dude went from the worst scholarship athlete I've ever seen to the best tackle on our team. Combine talent and real deal African I come from nothing ambition.....and anything is possible.

Now I wish we would have trained him at Left tackle, cause Darling looked much better on the right side last year.
 
I tried to tell yall! Lol
It was just the mental part this kid needed. He's a freak physically n you can't teach that. What you can teach is technic and Kehoe does the Got **** Thang!! The more experience he gets the better he will be. Next year is gonna be ill AF

Exactly. I recall when the coaches and players during the Spring were touting his progress and the usual suspects on here were claiming that it's all propaganda, that it's not possible. I never understood that stance, given that the kid had barely played any football in his life, and was a great physical specimen. Why they felt he couldn't possibly improve could be attributed to only one thing, their inner hatred for the program.

We're still gonna lose 5 games and Folden is a horrible coach and a worse father.

Just want to clear that up.

Al is batting one for 50 these days on gems
 
Judgement might need to be reserved until we play FSU.

Darling and dogflu will have a **** of a time with dem boyz.
 
Much respect to kehoe. A lot of people (including me) thought he wouldn't be able to get anything out of this kid. While we've had our fair share of misses on the offensive line (Kirkland, Merrick) kehoe deserves credit. I don't think he's elite (2013 oline underperforming) but definitely a good coach

I want this thread to be focused on Sonny but our coaches have touted plenty of players in spring who produced very little during the season
