Already got Mauigoa, Tripp & Tinilua that’s 3, close with Okunlola, Freeling & Alinen. Mario & staff got me feeling like we don’t take L’s on the recruiting trail anymore so let’s ride.
Forgot Kinsler throw him in there too F it, build the trenches up.

That would be the best OL class we’ve signed ever. The trenches will be even more important since it looks like we’re in-line to play big boy football in the SEC or B1G
 
Is 7 possible if everyone wants in? Or like you alluded to, would Frankie be on the chopping block? We're definitely not saying no to Freeling or Sampson if they want in. I think someone else said Frankie was involved with recruiting Francis to Miami.

Zero chance we only take 4 OL. Not a snowball's chance in ****.

I think 6 is most likely the number (and honestly probably the minimum), with how it's looking as of today. If we strike out on a couple key kids, then maybe the number is 5, but it won't be 4.

Committed (3):
Mauigoa
Tripp
Tinilau

Very possible (would be SHOCKED if only 1 of these kids commits here. More likely it will be several):

Okunlola
Freeling
Alinen
Kirkland
Kinsler
Lew?
Laloulu?
Cline?

And you know 1-2 more kids will emerge in the fall as possibilities.
 
I think Frankie stays. I know bama has a churn system where they sign only 4-5 star OL but there's definitely a place for a developmental kid. IMO, if your OL class is 6-7, you absolutely take a flyer on Frankie. The guy has too many physical attributes not to take a look. And the coaches will have a real good idea after 1 years whether he's any good.

I think you have to include Kinsler.

With the 25 man counter being removed this year I can see A LOT of transfers on our OLine. There's very few Miami calibre players in that room.

I had recently read that Kinsler might actually have a future as a DT. I wonder if the staff will simply bring in as much talent as possible and sort it out once boots are on the ground.

I‘m not so sure on Frankie , 50-50.
