Has he? 5* OL in his 3rd season splitting reps at LG. If that's "good," then "good" isn't good enough.

Besides, my point was it's easy to find an exception where someone who dominates lesser comp goes to college and continues to dominate. But every year there are also kids who fail when they step up in competition.

That said, in Bowers' case you had a lot more data suggesting he'd be fine with the step up in competition. Yeah, he went to school in Napa, but besides having exceptional height/weight/speed and dominating late, he had a lot going for him. Excellent athletic pedigree with both his mother and father being very good college athletes. Bowers went to camps and showed out at Nike (against real competition). He also played football for multiple seasons, and he had absolutely crazy production in high school.

He has been good this year, but it did take him a slight period to get accustomed to ncaa

Oh believe me, I am right there with you.. Im in the portal forum wit @Calinative/ @grover scratching my head wondering wth is going on with the position. I hope this kid hits big because the other TE recruit need to be with QB Coleman eating everything they see, atleast a couple years off.. If this kid is a miss we are in trouble for a position even in down years we have recruited very well and have great tradition.

The TE coach is starting to get sideyes because position is starting to lag.

True. At some point we need consistency from that position group. Bauman has been great at blocking, but that has also crippled us in our passing attack and could be a reason our offense hasnt thrived like with cam.

Lofton has injuries that slowed him up and he ain't getting any younger.

I gotcha U. I think I see how its coming together.

It needs to be looked at and examine. We have some great prospect on the way and we need to show case that group.

Did you just lump me with @Calinative ? I had no idea I came across as that pedantic.
