Mark Matthews Decommits from TAMU

[ageezy]

Samson is your starting guard next year unless Cantwell can’t figure it out then he will be back at LT. No chance he leaves early he likely wouldn’t even go in the first 4 rounds

yeah ... i'm over the samson at tackle experiment too

He is a guard in the NFL. Miami just failed with their OL situation so he has to play LT. Miami needs to find a LT and let Samson slide to guard for his final year. We will see how it plays out

Afraid of the Cantwell smoke is what was said….

Anyway, when he committed to TAMU, I said we’d be fine at OT with or without him. I’d guess JC’s deal will either be renegotiated or he will . I hope he stays, but we’ll see. I don’t
love relying on TRFR OL, but here we are (again). If this kid hits at LT, and Samson is back, which he has no choice IMO - you move him to LG.

Plenty of time to discuss this, but this development should be zero surprise to anyone here. I just hope he’s worth it.

I’m afraid you’re right, I think cantwell is gone. Miami probably offering more money with cantwell probably going to portal.

2027 O-Line:

LT - Samson or transfer
LG - Buchanan
C - SJ
RG - Congdon
RT - Big Zesty

No. Samson is staying at LT.

There will be a battle for the entire right side of the OL between Cantwell, Matthews, Buchanan, and Hawks with SJ moving to Center.

We’ll be more than fine.

Matthews and Cantwell (if he doesn’t transfer) at tackles next season? We need to hit the portal for two starting calibre guards

Or get the kid committed to Notre Dame if it ain't too late. What little tape I seen on him he be straight doggin' folks.

2027 O-Line:

LT - Transfer ($$$)
LG - Buchanan
C - SJ
RG - Congdon
RT - Big Zesty

I don’t think Pancake should go pro. He has an extra year, right?

Why would they replace Samson?

We will see. Samson hasn’t shown he deserves to have that spot locked in next year

 

[mistakes were made]

Who says Matthews ends up at OT right away? Samson still has another year.

I thought Samson was out of eligibility? If he isn’t then he can kick inside.

I forgot about the 5 for 5

Yes.

Samson seems like a smart guy. Show him his film and be honest with him. He isn’t a tackle at the next level.

Why? If he returns he’s probably the best LT prospect in the 2028 draft.

Some of guys really need a better understanding of what’s going on snap for snap.

That could be a discussion point with Cantwell. The LT spot is yours if you can win it. If he is dead set on leaving then turn his NIL to a portal LT.

If Cantwell leaves - its because Mario and Mirabol saw there is nothing there other than traits!

So we want a guy who has never played a college snap and a guy who can’t get on the field on an average line starting next year. Sounds like a plan.

 

[CanesNation26]

If we land this guy, I don’t think we need to hit the portal for an oline player, assuming pancake is back.

Tackles: Pacanke, MM / Cantwell

Guards: Congdon / Buchanan

Center: SJ / Rhys

This line should be much improved, as it’ll have more snaps and experience under its belt.

 

[JustAFanHTX]

Get McKinney on him….. pause

No need. It’s been over a while now.

Is there any actual information or a credible insider saying this would be a possibility? Or is this more of what we were doing with Pancake his freshman and sophomore years?
