[JOE'CANE]

The DT position is the only spot that needs some more juice.

Outside of that, our recruitment on the OL and Edge has been A1.

Hopefully that is addressed in the portal immediately and via recruitment moving forward.

Cornerback!!!

Cornerback!!!

Not sure if he has the wheels for CB. Maybe he can play power forward for the basketball team

 

[SayWhat]

Guy is a tackle all the way. LT or RT will be determined by how well he uses his hands and how he moves. He's too big to be a guard or center. It's a step up in competition, so I expect a bit of a learning curve. That likely is the final piece on left or right.

 

[CanesFan20]

Rivers would go to center

Has he ever played center?

 

[Dan E. Dangerously]

 

[AtlAtty]

This kid playing inside or out?

Anywhere he wants.

 

[AtlAtty]

Bell is coming for that LT spot. I have a hard time seeing a 6’9 kid playing inside and like Bain, with Mauigoa, if it aint broke don’t fix it. Leave him where he is. Let him and Pancake duke it out, competition and depth is what this program needs waaaay more of. I trust them to put the best 5 on the field either way.

He can’t play inside. The only question will be what will be the best tackle rotation or lineup with Francis, Samson and Bell. That is a lot of compedition at a very high level. Throw in McCoy or Rivers and its ridiculous.

 

[AtlAtty]

So we aren’t going to mention that Smith is wearing purple pants?

 

[CT Cane 44]

Excellent get! Kids a monster. Thrilled about this kid.

 

[Tad Footeball]

This kid right now is substantially bigger than anyone on my Steelers' o-line.

This kid right now is substantially bigger than anyone on my Steelers' o-line.

Broderick Jones is pretty prototypical in size

Markel Bell, the highly-touted four-star offensive tackle from Holmes Community College, has announced his commitment to the Hurricanes. Bell's decision came on the heels of his official visit to Coral Gables last weekend, which seemingly sealed the deal for the gifted lineman.

At 6-8.5 and a commanding 340 pounds, Bell dominates the line of scrimmage with a rare combination of size and agility. His physical attributes and on-field prowess have earned him the distinction of being the number one ranked junior college offensive tackle in the nation, as well as the number five overall junior college player—a testament to his skill set and potential at the next level.

Miami's triumph in securing Bell's commitment is all the more significant given the fierce competition they faced. Bell, a native of Cleveland, Mississippi, was heavily recruited by notable programs, most notably Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

Holy **** I just found this out my phone was charging. Mario on some **** we about to bully dudes bruh.

O Line U

lets goooo

That brings natty’s eventually. Every top tier program when they begin this is how it starts

Miami has to be a QB dream!!! Potential 2024

LT - S. Okunola 6’6 330
LG - Jalen Rivers 6’5 325
C - Zion Nelson 6’5 320
RG - Francis Mauigoa 6’6 340
RT - Markel Bell 6’8 340

Rush Nelson never going to play to many beasts in front of him. I doubt he ever plays again injury or not. The type of big homies we bringing in on the OL fsu better have 20 Blounts on DL.
