Could he be a replacement for KScott or is he a JThomas replacement? Either way, sign him up, although I am a fan of Dylan Day.



FWIW, folks seem to think Bama leads on this one.

Bama rolling into next year with Cam and Ryan Williams is such peak Bama

GT felt they overpaid romello height at 250k when he asked for 500k and TT came thru and said come get $1.5 Mil.. SHEEEEESH

Height said he made $250,000 last year at Georgia Tech. His agent was seeking a raise to $500,000 ahead of Height's senior season, a number he felt was fair market value, but was rebuffed. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound outside linebacker had a good year for the Yellow Jackets after transferring from USC, totalling a team-high 29 pressures off the edge, but finished with only 2.5 sacks. Height insists he wasn't looking to leave.

"They were like, 'Nah, we overpaid him already,'" Height said. "So, my agent was like, 'All right, we're going to go get overpaid somewhere else.'"

Height was a big priority for Blanchard. He had watched tape of 50 other defensive ends and outside linebackers, and felt strongly that Height had all the traits he was looking for as the top pass rusher available in the December portal period. Blanchard wasn't concerned about the lack of sack production. The way he sees it, sacks are 1% of the equation, and Height does the other 99% of his job at a high level, consistently forcing QBs to move off their spot.

"People were trying to say it was other guys, but Romello was the best one," Blanchard said. "Y'all don't know what y'all are looking at."

His value in Texas Tech's estimation: $1.5 million.

"Super jaw-dropping," Height said.

Tough for Bain to get sacks when our cbs play 10 yds off the wrs and the QBs get the ball out in 2 seconds.

I mean this paints their GM as kinda an idiot to me...
A school was paying a player $250k, he was seeking $500k, you offer $1.5M..

I mean it works if you just truly have the biggest bank by far. But that's not going to work long term if your payroll isn't blowing everyone else out..

Yeah, that’s not a GM, that’s a bank teller.

I think its the fact that they were TTU in lubbock texas, which is a hard pull.. Now they have proof of concept so maybe they pull back to only triple the market rate after they show playoff success and nfl pipeline..

Or it doesnt matter and they just ay a premium wit bllionaire cody campbell who is fully invested with **** you money..

Thank you. I must’ve misread an article with him where they talked about his NFL prospects. They made it seem like he had an option to declare for the NFL, but if he’s a true sophomore, he does not.

Would drive the long way around to avoid the possibility of running into Chip and Joana Gaines or seeing their distressed furniture or shiplap somewhere.
