This was a statement. It's been a couple years since Mario and Mirabal won a true recruiting battle. People were starting to whisper. Today was a reminder.

I've been following recruiting for 25 years, and it's hard to believe Miami went into Nixa, Missouri to land a five-star OT. It wasn't an emotional decision, either. Cantwell did his homework.

Oh yeah, the team with Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, the two best tackles in professional football who were moved to the interior and not Mekhi Becton, who was slow, overweight and couldn't get out of his stance quick enough to be a tackle.

If we have a three star tackle being moved to guard because something in his game is off, I'd consider it an accurate comparison. This board wanted to move All-ACC tackle and 5th round pick Jalen Rivers, All-ACC tackle and projected first round pick Francis Mauigoa and now the 3rd overall player in the country and NUMBER ONE TACKLE PROSPECT to guard.

Having great to elite tackles in college football is a luxury very very few teams have, we have the luxury that we have fairly consistent production in that area over the past couple of seasons and the one response on here from that is that we should've moved all of them to guard.

What the ****.
