JaDarien Boykin

If he is salty about another transfer it's ridiculous. Manny has a ton of rotation on the DL to keep guys fresh. There will be plenty of reps for everyone. There will also be speed packages with additional pass rushers, and depending on the opponent (esp a pass heavy one) he would get even more opportunities for sacks (that will be his ticket to the NFL as he is too small for a 3 down DE). The new DC had the top sack totals in football at La Tech. Boykin would like have double digit sacks at Miami. Hope he gets over it and realizes Miami would be best for his career.

You don't push away a kid because a grad transfer (Nnoruka or Hill) with 1 year to play 1 took his spot.

This is because of Bogle or (more likely) Phillips and, if it's the case, I'm perfectly good with that.

 

[fresssh]

So basically theres no reliable source to confirm this? Still under assumption we land him

 

[ShadowSpring]

This kid isn't all that. A lot of these kids are scraps at this point. There are better options next year. Go after grad transfers.

Nnoruka was his spot.

The two play completely different positions. Nnoruka's a DT, while Boykin likely would've been a LB here.

The rumor is he got pushed out because of his size. If you check his Twitter, he tweeted recently about how size isn’t everything in football, or something along those lines. If you connect the dots, it looks like he’s gone.

Im sure they knew his size before they started recruiting him and him him on official this last weekend.

Hey, dumb fvck the point was his spot didn't go to Nnoruka because they don't even play the same ******* position.

I agree, but we’re starting to run out of scholarships. Maybe we were going to take him initially, but once Hill and Phillips confirmed their interest they might have taken his spot.

Ya, he defintely didn’t lose his spot to him. To me, it seems like Hill or Phillips said they’re coming behind the scenes, so maybe one of them did?

 

[Invalid Username]

Sucks, I really wanted this kid as our Trent Harris. IF we can snag Hill & Phillips then this doesn’t matter much. If we don’t land anyone then there’s a problem.

 

[caordi3d]

Okay once again he tried to commit last night. They told him his spot was taken.

 

[fresssh]

I guess we’ll see how it plays out. But based off needs and how he fits Mannys “fast and violent” to a tee, I have a hard time beliving we dropped him. Time will tell.

Where has this been confirmed?

Hill or Phillips hasn’t even been down here.

Probably was. But it wasn't the UCLA DT that took his spot.

Someone on this thread spoke to him personally if he chooses to post it on here he will. Seen the screen shots myself

Probably means Phillips took his spot. I doubt this has anything to do with Bogle or Hill. Hill is a one year rental and Bogle is a flake. Phillips is a DE with multiple years of eligibility left. Simpson also met him last night.
