He’s appears to be immature and borderline clownish, but we just need him to lock in for 12 months. If Mario & co believes that he can do that and want to bring him on then lets do it. This aint the CU lockerroom, he’d have to buy in and adjust here and if he doesn’t well then it’d be a flop and he’d probably be gone by summer time lol. It’s his money year, lets hope that gives him a swift kick in the *** that is needed.

That OL room is filled with straight killers. That schtick wouldn’t last long at all.

What about Bell? Why would he leave? He's not a top 3-round pick IMO. If he stays and we got Seaton, one could play RT and Cantwell could redshirt.

OL tend to get more looks once draft season starts. There’s the known names, like Mauigoa, but the late risers get more looks once it’s just dedicated film time.

At his size, some team will fall in love with the still raw aspect of him being 1.5 years in D1 ball. I do agree, if he came back and built off this CFP performance he could go T10 next year. If he spent a safe year here working on blocking speed rushers he could be the best T in CFB.

Bell is a two year starter , he’s not moving if he returned and that looks doubtful currently . People inside are expecting him to go.

I would assume coaches know if bell is going especially if they going after Seaton. I dont see Bell being a LT in the NFL though, wouldnt he be RT at the next level? Just not quick enough to handle those speed rushers at the next level

Don’t blame him to strike while the iron is hot.

Mesi said in a recent interview that he’s the hardest to go against because of his long arms.

This brings up a reason to have a 2nd portal window after Spring practices. If I’m a Jr/Sr and a younger guy comes out of the portal/high school and takes my spot, I want to be able to transfer. Right now I don’t know if I am likely to lose that spot. But I’ll know who is higher up on the depth chart coming out of Spring practices.
I know coaches hated it for the exact same reason, but it was more fair for the player to have that 2nd opportunity. Coaches just did not want to have to manage their rosters to that degree. They all want to stockpile reserves. But reserves should not be bound to stay if they can start someplace else.

I like the idea of a single post spring portal and one week of organized summer practice. Give the freshman a chance to get on campus, the guys that are already in-house the time to develop and earn jobs. Give the staff some time to really evaluate what they have.

It puts the portal at a slight disadvantage by not getting spring ball but adds a week in the summer for installs.

How does this help teams in the playoffs ? Seems like they’re at a disadvantage because of this

If he can't play LT in the NFL he can't play RT either.

I understand both sides of the coin. This would be my thinking if I’m him, you can take the risk of turning pro and getting worse OL coaching in the NFL, worse supporting cast, etc. Or come back a year and really fine tune the few inadequate things in his game. If he’s got a day 2 or higher I’d turn pro. Which I think he probably does. It wouldn’t shock me if performs well Monday if he snuck into the first. Dude has the size and strength you just can’t teach.

HS Signing: Early Dec
Playoffs: Dec-Jan
Spring Ball: Mar-Apr
Portal opens: Late Apr

My proposal is really about tilting the field back towards HS recruiting and slowing the volume of player movement. Transfers will be at a disadvantage showing up during the summer versus in-house guys who had a full spring. Incoming freshman and guys on the roster will have the spring to win/lose jobs and coaches will have spring to evaluate the holes.

But we all still want transfers to be playable when the season arrives so I proposed a week of practice time in the summer to give them some install.

I don't think this would disadvantage playoff teams.

Yea I had read some stuff calling him a cancer and selfish, bad teammate, etc.

Idk if sour grapes by Colorado or true.

But excellent point I had thought aboit. Colorado doesnt have culture set in place, whereas we do. Just got to keep him straight for a year. I trust mario to make the correct judgment call. I dont think mario is down with the cancer bad character stuff.
 
If Cici vouches for Seaton plus Mario knows Seaton anyway I’m not worried. Some guys realize a non serious environment isn’t what they need.
