LB Kamal Bonner commits to Miami

[ALLoverCANE]

Who’s spot is he taking?

He's the 5th or 6th best LB on the roster

I couldn’t help but screenshot this as it so perfectly encapsulates CiS:

Hate to be a Debbie downer here but his missed tackle rate was a whopping 25%. He was ranked in the bottom 20% of all LB’s last year.

Fits right in

That’s alarming, but sounds like was forced onto the field due to injuries and played better late in the season. If nothing else, depth piece while develops and plays special teams.

Amazing to me that none of BW/Alderman/C.Smith transferred out.

Whose spot is he taking?

Nobody’ spot

Honestly and I have no inside information about players or roster strategy, but this is the kind of quality depth piece that quietly makes your roster better without disturbing your current one.

We heard from D that keeping our current roster was a major concern. As it is everywhere. How do you add to your roster in this day and age without forcing discontent or transfer from a current player? Tricky situation. I have no crystal ball on this player. I'm not gonna proclaim him to do anything. The only thing that I think it does is create competition. Which is what you want with roster management. Bringing in players to force other good players out is not the goal.

This isn't Marshall or Montana St he's coming from. The DT we brought in from NC State didn't do anything. But I like the pickup from a P4 school that can potentially play a role this year but will definitely force competition

Does every transfer have to be an all-American? You need solid guys with legitimate experience with the additional years he can develop even more.

my Mario whiffed again was sarcastic because everyone was freaking out yesterday. Mario holds off on announcing commits based on strategy

“Fans in the building” is not a complement right now. I must be cranky. This does nothing for me. The 3 years of eligibility just means another one of our young linebackers is not good enough to play here and will likely leave while we do not upgrade the position. Our roster management and portal usage is something else.

All our recruited LB must be trash for real or we cant develop..


Runssss

There’s talent in the LB room.

Popo
Pruitt
Washington
Wiley
Hayes

Adding this guy for competition and to push everyone can’t hurt things. Just need someone to step up. I didn’t include Wes or Chase. Both of them have plateaued and JAGs

We have to be the favorites to add Toure too right?

He would immediately upgrade the room and solve the LB problem assuming he’s healthy

The majority of our defensive staff just got canned so that’s a safe bet

Actually did his job, wasn't bad at all.

Based on what? Just that Hetherman coached him 2 years ago?

Fair enough, but you gotta admit, to the unknowing eye, it’s pretty funny to see those two takes literally side by side

 

[CliftonCane]

Bonner is decisive and takes great angles to point of contact. Intriguing pick up

 

[DemCanes10]

So our new DC signed off on a LB he coaches that CIS ***** on.

I remember Minnesota LBs playing pretty **** good last year for the top 5 defense and not one of you can name them.

Let the man cook!

 

[Hurracanes]

Actually did his job, wasn't bad at all.

He literally had .5 sacks, 7 solo tackles, 2 TFL, 19 total tackles. All of which were worse than his 23’ season, at NC State. What was his job?

Maybe our definition of “bad” is different.

For this HC to actually make it to the playoffs? Apparently so. Look what we just did with the #1 overall pick and the best offense in CFB

We may need HOF’ers at every spot.
