Offensive line Class 😳

[SWFLHurricane]

Looking good here. @SWFLHurricane will likely be dragging his balls across the recruiting board. Wear a hard hat.

Hi....Don't mind me...just dragging my balls over to CIS recruiting board.

I‘ve been very cautious on him the entire recruitment. At one point I wasn’t even sure he had a spot , especially when the Kinsler smoke started. Frankie having his school issues maybe opened the door back up but it seems like things are looking a lot better than a month ago. That said I doubt I ever drop a steph on this one lol. Like I said “I‘ve always been cautious with this one”. The staff does seems confident.

I actually forgot you mentioned Frankie and his school issues...... That kinda gives me the slightest bit of hope but man, PK just gives me a different kinda vibe lol

He seemed to have sorted the school issues. He is in Australia and was in a space on twitter yesterday, he good. I think. Maybe we take all 7.

I would love that

I think this is where a few things come together.

Mario being a former lineman on a championship team...

And his time in the SEC, seeing how important the strength of the trenches have to be, to be elite, and compete for playoff spots.

He's going to build Miami into a top tier MIAMI caliber school, and he's going to do it by building through the lineman.

FIFY

This looks like it’s shaping up to be the highest rated O-line in school history (during the recruiting ranking era) I think this staff takes 6 offensive lineman, but I would not rule out the possibility of 7 in this class. These kids they are recruiting are all athletic with college ready bodies NOW. Miami should start dominating upfront very soon. By the 2025 season this line can be scary good.

Francis Mauigoa (6-5 330)
5star #1 OT, could play OT or OG in college
Committed to Miami

Samson Okunlola (6-5 315)
5star #3 OT, will play OT in college
Miami rumored to be in the lead

Olaus Alinen (6-6 315)
4star #15 OT, could play OT of OG in college
Crystal Ball’ed to Miami

Payton Kirkland (6-6 345)
4star #25 OT, could play OT of OG in college
Projected to commit to Miami by On3

Tommy Kinsler (6-6 330)
3star #80 OT, will play OG in college
Crystal Ball’ed to Miami

Frankie Tinilau (6-5 315)
3star #108 OT, could play OT of OG in college
Committed to Miami

Antonio Tripp (6-3 300)
3star #27 IOL, will play Center in college
Committed to Miami
*was dropped from a 4star to a 3star after committing to Miami*

Wild Card
Monroe Freeling (6-7 283)
4star #8 OT, will play OT in college
Miami rumored to be in his top schools

If Alinen commits soon (as expected) I can see a Kirkland and Kinsler race to lock up the last spot.

Some kids will be transferring pretty soon or next year so the spots are there or will be there. Bring them all

 

[supacane]

I would love that

Texas took 7 last year. If we get our top 6 we have a statistically better class on the current ranking. Let's see after the updates.

 

[Cane&Abel]

Looking around and seeing TOP ELITE talent in all the seats in the OL room!! Thank you Mario!

Samson now Crystal Ball'ed to Miami. Legit looking like our OL class could be Francis, Samson, Olaus, Kirkland, Kinsler, Frankie and Tripp with Freeling as a wild card as you mentioned. Absolutely INSANE!!

 

[lfoliva9988]

As of today what are the chances Tinilau doesn’t make this 2023 class for whatever reason be it qualifying…higher valued players by the staff wanting in etc…

his measurables and his athleticism at that size are worth taking a flyer on. JMO but I believe he'll 100% be in the class

Take the Freeling kid as well. Everything begins and ends in the trenches. Mario will be here for at least 10 years and he can always get rid of all of the dead weight he never recruited. Trenches are a priority.

You know what I love about this list? (Well besides all the top rated guys coming here) Look at their measurements. We’re bringing in tackles to play tackle. No 6’2” guys with short arms who look like guards but have to play outside because we don’t have anyone else. The only guy under 6’5” is being recruited as a center. You can coach technique. You can add mass through diet and strength training. You can’t coach height and length.

How an OL bends is important. Are they hip, waist, or knee benders? Might be most important. Well next to dog in em.

 

[jdmorgan76]

Only issue with that argument is that Texas has the same pitch and they’re the main contender right now. They landed the top line class ever last cycle

Only reason their class was as good as it was is because Mario changed jobs...

 

[Goulds Cane]

We could legitimately end up with the greatest offensive line class on paper in college football history

 

[Cribby]

Not sure , they like him as a prospect so they won’t just drop him. Imo they’ll give him time to try to get the issues straightened out.

 

[Cribby]

I actually forgot you mentioned Frankie and his school issues...... That kinda gives me the slightest bit of hope but man, PK just gives me a different kinda vibe lol

Agree. Thats why I’ve been so cautious with PK lol. The staff seems confident but I won’t be laying my nuts on the line for this one lol.

Curry coming out next week ?

 

[Macca]

how do we not sign a Top 3 RB in ‘24. i think that’s close to a lock.

This is a great question. I wonder what that board looks like in regards to other backs that are not named Baxter. You could make the argument a serviceable back would run well behind a great line. A great back is writing his ticket. Maybe Citizen is that guy but I am curious to see how the RB thing shakes out. The fall should be interesting on the RB front.
