As someone stated, you could be an NFL caliber player and getting pushed by someone who is better.Pretty sure booker was starting to take some
of his reps. We don't have enough talent for him to worry about that here.
YeaDid he play in the game in Atlanta against us ?
Starting to see lots of good possibilities for a changeSo if Zion comes back he and Samson/Francis at T, Rivers and Cohen at G, hopefully a portal C to replace Clark.
Then Clark, Cooper, McCoy, Samson/Francis off the bench.
Rivers could play T too if Cooper is the other starting G. Could very well be Nelson (If he comes back) and Rivers at T, Cooper and Cohen at G, then hopefully a portal guy at C. Samson and Francis first two off the bench.I think Cooper is a starter at G through and through. Rivers is starting somewhere as is Cohen. It appears Cohen wants to play T. Still those 3 are auto starters. We have been told we are going two more OL including one Center. I’d imagine at least of those guys are a starter as well. Think Samson and Mauigoa play but don’t start.
I’d say watch out for Kinsler. Kid is a behemoth.Rivers could play T too if Cooper is the other starting G. Could very well be Nelson (If he comes back) and Rivers at T, Cooper and Cohen at G, then hopefully a portal guy at C. Samson and Francis first two off the bench.
Right? I laugh at the people that sh*t on our fanbase for never showing up and blah blah blah.Amazing it took one bad year for Bama for a bunch of dudes to hit the portal and for the locker room to be a mess. Yet Miami fans would give their left nut to win 10 games and play in a really good bowl game.
In my eyes it was an 11 win season lol. Remember that Ark State game got cancelled due to the hurricane.Right? I laugh at the people that sh*t on our fanbase for never showing up and blah blah blah.
We've had ONE 10 win season over the last 20 years. ONE!
And that 2017 season was LIT. Atmosphere was insane. Media talk was through the roof. We're already one of the bigger storylines with a 5 win season in the books.
Imagine what another 10 win season would do for this program under Mario. The hate would be insane. And I have no doubt Hard Rock would be bumping.

Inferior? All in the eye of the beholder. Young man seems very intelligent and well spoken and surely has his reasons for transferring. None of which any of us are privy to.reasonable but you dont leave a starting job in a superior place for a starting job in an inferior place.
LSU started two true freshmen on their OL this year and made it to the SEC ChampionshipThere are some positions where starting as a freshman at the p5 level is extremely difficult and it seems like no one here pays any attention.
Just cause Samson and Mauigoa are 5 stars doesn’t mean that they’re Just gonna come in and take a spot.
Having an 18 year old come in and start taking starter snaps against grown 22 and 23 year olds is the reason you end up with an injured roster.
It’s a different animal in the trenches.
I think you can count on one hand how many dudes started at L tackle since a freshman and didn’t get a significant injury and end up a day one pick.
It’s a luxury and and advantage to both the player and the team to have dudes like that work into their bodies and into their position.
Zion went from zero to hero and still couldn’t recover from a serious injury.
Imagine Zion if he didn’t have to jump into the fire. He would be looking at serious coin. Instead we had nothing on that side and he had to take a freshman year of abuse on and off the field. You guys crucified him in here.
People can say what they want about Miami being a fairweather fan environment.... but when the teams are winning, Miami fans show the Fu*k OUT for their teams. Atmosphere's are always dope in Miami when the squads are winning.Right? I laugh at the people that sh*t on our fanbase for never showing up and blah blah blah.

I think both 5 stars will get better as the season goes but to start immediately might be dangerous. If i remember correctly Jayden Daniel's was running for his life against FSU this year and FSU Dline wasn't anything amazing. Combine that with TVD being less then mobile not sure how the 2 five stars would hold up against A&M.LSU started two true freshmen on their OL this year and made it to the SEC Championship
Texas had multiple freshmen.
what's your point again?
anyone concerned that a starting OL at Bama is transferring?
That's just the way college football is now. It happens to all programsanyone concerned that a starting OL at Bama is transferring?
He’s more then solid imo kid was second team all sec this year and I watched his game tape he’s gonna help us out and turn us into a legit offensive lineHe was starting to lose snaps in a 3 man rotation at G. to one of the Freshman Booker. the other G in that rotation is graduating so its not like he was losing his spot next year anyway. Some have said he wants to kick outside, others mentioned GF graduated Bama and could just be looking somewhere to go for a year before he tries to go pro. I'm just glad to have him.
He's a plug in play with what we have to work with at Oline but he's probably not going to be an All American guy as far as expectations.
