Dude you just yapping at this point. Did you not see the comment I replied to? He said they are going to have to hit the portal for a RT next year basically because things aren’t looking good for olu and matthews

And he’s right if the two true freshman you mention who have not played a collegiate snap or were not even big time prospects can’t play tackle next year

we have a left tackle in cantwell. No one has any clue what else we have at tackle in future. So yes the portal is very likely next year for a RT. That is obvious

It ain’t because some hs o-lineman I tell you that. The only reason would be if the guys on campus aren’t ready

I guess Gaby was onto something with his mock.

As D$ mentioned this week on the podcast, if the guy is after day 1 starter money but most likely won't start until year 2 or 3 then the money is better allocated elsewhere which makes sense.

If Mario can't bring Matthews or Olu, then secure the interior of the line and flip Jacobs.

Mario and Mirabel will definitely scour the country to bring in some OT prospect with traits who will be cheap and can be developed into a starter by year 3.

Hitting on Cantwell and Cogdnon last year alleviates the need to go all on in on an expensive asset at OT especially if that OT won't be a day 1 starter.

NGL sounds like cope and damage control...missing on Matthews & Olu to bring in prospects with "traits" is something.

I agree with the strategy but I’m not counting Cogdnon as a hit just yet. Kid has been here 1 spring. I don’t care what the camp report said, it’s the same camp report that told us the staff believed Kinsler was a first rounder.

He also had Corsair in the class and 48 hrs later he's about to pick Oregon.

We chose to wait on Mark Matthews. Not saying it’s the preferred approach and certainly not confident it’ll work out, as TAMU is doing the same. Olu was waiting on two schools, us and TAMU, who are waiting on a different player. He’s taking his talent to a school that is ready for him.

you my friend no ball.

This seems exactly how its playing out.

Oh yall are waiting ona guy yall have slotted above me ..well ill go with who aint waiting.nd. Nd is ona roll in recruiting too smh
 
Imagine seeing what ND OT’s put on tape vs Bain/Mesidor and wanting to follow in those footsteps lol not saying it’s all about that but just funny. Those guys looked like **** vs our first rounders

not at all
you stack every year
you cant afford to miss
this leads to gaps in your roster
its major miss if we whiff on both olo and MM

This is one of those things where any position you take, you won't be wrong.

I mean on the one hand, Clemson had a dominant run with a bunch of 3 Star OL's. And it makes perfect sense to allocate the money elsewhere rather than toward someone who may have to be developed a year or 2.

On the other hand, yeah, it is absolutely cope and damage control. You don't put time and resources into a recruit, and just shrug it off when they don't come. You get the top players on your board at every position every year.

Mario and co. playing with fire, but hey, we hired him in part to win these types of recruiting battles.

On another note, ND has turned it up a notch in recruiting since last year.

Got to take into account that dominant run being led by D. Watson and Lawrence. 2 of the great college QBs this era.

I understand the take but it's the exception not the rule...we know this all too well ex. SFLA 3 star is a 5 star everywhere else nonsense we used to spew.
 
That kind of high dollar initial investment needs to start year 1. For us, Mathews probably can, Olu... not so much. Doesn't mean he wont be good, its just that decisions need to be made on how to manage the roster and the salaries. To tie up a million+ on a developmental backup is hard to swallow no matter how good you think he eventually might be.
