Logan Sagapolu Oregon OG Transfers to Miami

[Lance Roffers]

Then why bring him in?

Recruiting relationships?

The truth is; new coaches always want to bring in players from previous stops to establish their culture and how they do things.

You’ll hear repeatedly about how a player coming in is “high character” or “hardest worker” or “sets the tone.”

This has been going on since the Dawn of time. They always get an opportunity that is probably above their talent level because they’re a known entity, and of course they do things “the right way” in the coaches mind because they already know what the coaches want.

Normally, after a while, the better players pass them and the player settles in as a good dude, hard-working player on the depth chart.

It probably doesn’t hurt that Mario wants to establish some pipeline to Polynesian players and those types to want to go to programs with other Polynesians.

I’d move him to DT then suddenly 6’0-6’1 325 isn’t so small and his strength might be a factor

This would be very smart. Any chance this happens?

Great point… didn’t Ray play around that same weight when he was here?

The fact of which dudes Mario brought in from Oregon is one of the most concerning aspects of his tenure. Guys that he should know better than anyone have been JAG’s and borderline unplayable on a roster that was already devoid of talent.

Meanwhile can we move Sagapolu to defense please and see if he can give us anything there?
