Mario on Joe Rose This AM

Lowe is dealing with a confidential personal issue. I would expect him back with the team soon.
Some things are issues that don't need to be shared on a message board or with the media.
Is this the FBI?? Nothing is wrong with transparency but, hopefully he isn’t on the out. Have to worry about kids coming across the country.
 
Navaughn had a few more issues as a freshman than Francis.
If Cantwell is similar to Francis, we will all be very, very happy
Agreed. I was just thinking of the most recent highly ranked true freshman that started. I didn't think Donaldson did bad as a freshman, obviously the weight was an issue.
 
Before portal, Toney with PR duties and malicat woulda been able to build a case, but I think Mensah gonna cook soo much he gonna eat into his ballots and be favorite outta CG

I always thought Donaldson was pretty solid just way overweight. If Mario and the staff we had now were his coaches he prob would have had a better career.
 
So, since the first 12 supposedly already happened , you figure MC fibbing a bit?
Hey let's face it Mario like his players a little hefty....

I don't buy that Lightfoot gained 12 lbs in 3 months and "might" gain another 12. And if he really gained that much weight that quickly, it probably wouldn't be good.

While I acknowledge the legitimate concern under past regimes, I can't imagine JT allowing the S&C team to trade speed and agility for bulk, no way that happens.

I also think Lightfoot isn't the same situation as, say, a Zion Nelson gaining 60 pound in 2 years to play as a true freshman. Lightfoot is going into his third year in college now with a frame that can stack 25 on and not lose a step. And they'll be monitoring his range of motion every pound he gains.

Wilson, Blount and Lightfoot should be able to chaos the same if not more havoc than last year

Especially with Moten and Scott coming back and having another year under their belts
 
Francis and Navaughn Donaldson had growing pains as freshman. It happens, Cantwell will be fine.

Francis was a freak athlete. 3 standard deviations from the normal high school footballer. And yes, he had some missed assignments as a true freshman. But overall he was amazing in 2023.

^I know you agree with this, I'm just setting up my next point...

Cantwell is literally the freakiest of all freak athletes. He is at the top of the world in freakiness. The kid will win the Olympics and break world records. He threw the second longest shot put in high school history as a junior at 76' 11.25". He would crush that record this track season if he weren't already on campus at Miami. He threw the discuss 210' 5". So his feet are just as quick and his lower body as explosive as his upper body.

Cantwell is such a rare specimen that under Mirabal and Mario, I have zero concerns he will become a top linemen as a true freshman. I saw his camp tape, he struggled in pass pro last summer. It was all technique. Word is that's no longer a problem. We're going to have an AA and future All Pro level LT for the next 3 years boys.
