2026 Jackson Cantwell 5* OT from Nixa, MO

[canes41590]

We have former players tweeting him to come here now? Ya he goin to UGA

 

[CANESCANES]

Basically, UGA negatively recruiting us (obviously). But it has the Cantwells asking questions and shouldn’t really be a factor.

Is Stacy Searels, Todd Hartley and James Coley talking ****?

and they get them to the pros. thats the point. they develop their OL.

Yea The more 5 star Oline you land the more you send to the pros, it aint some great developing feat.. OSU will get credit for "developing" Jeremiah Smith but we all know he would've been the same freak WR day 1 anywhere he went.

Idk the details. But I could see what UGA is saying and alumni tweeting being correlated.

 

[JADood]

Mario stacks 5 stars like UGA? Isnt the new narrative here that he isn't an elite recruiter ?

I’m sayin when Mario gets a 5 star or a borderline 5 star, no one ever says what you said about UGA. It’s always development

Hence I said developing 3stars into NFL players is more impressive than turning 5 star guys to the NFL. But I was laughed at

Next couple of years we will get some more evidence about Mario and Mirabals evals here

Lots of projects on the OL

Why’s UGA missing?

They had an R1 OT the previous 2 drafts, 2023/2024, and several more since Kirby has been an HC. Let’s not do this, lol.

I agree with you %1000 percent...I wont glaze Mario/Mirabal for sending Francis off in the first round, he likely wouldve went there had he went to Tennessee or wherever else..im more impressed by a coach turning lower rated/3star guys into NFL players..

Won’t get behind the Twitter campaign until I see #Cantwell2TheU from TEJADA.

This would be the perfect season and schedule to show recruits that we are not just a one year wonder and are here to stay. You can bet the negative recruiting was how last year was a fluke because we had Cam (and even still we couldnt even win our weak conference) and now that Cam is gone we will go back to being a mediocre program in a mediore conference. Mario can change the narrative quickly out of the gate in the month of September with ND and UF on the horizon.

You right, but not me...Mario's best job with CICI and Penei Sewell was actually landing them, they wouldve been first rounders **** near anywhere they went.....you have to have a track record of coaching up lower rated guys into NFL picks for me personally to consider your "development" great.

Let’s relax. It’s a joke

You mean Georgia? Surely you're not referring to Miami. Georgia has ~ 10 first round OL draft picks in the last 8-9 years. Mario has....1?

I’m talking in general but I’m talking in what Miami is trying to build. And every program. If the thing looks how it’s supposed to look, you’re not relying on true freshmen tackles to come start in Week 1, regardless of their ranking.

[DeanCane]

If you recruit at a high level, it’s a lot less development that has to go in to it

It’s like recruiting Jeremiah Smith and saying you developed him. Same goes for top end OL recruits

Good on ya, DMoney

This recruitment is either the biggest smoke and mirrors game by an actual recruit in sometime. If he was recruiting the QB weeks ago we got played hard.
