I have faith in Mario and Mirabal. Now with Seaton going to LSU what are we thinking it looks like?
People don't understand we didn't NEED seaton. He simply was the cherry on top. Would've been nice. Now his funds he was asking just go elsewhere. It shows he didn't leave deion over development like his people were trying to say. He didn't stay and he didn't follow loadholt and he didn't go to BY FAR the best developer of talent at the position. He chased lane to LSU. It's clearly a money grab. As good as he is we don't need MORE of that mindset being catered to here. We made one exception to that so far this offseason. No more.LT Mccoy/Meriweather
LG Okunlola/Wilkerson
C Rodriguez/SJ (help)
RG Buchanan/Minaya
RT Cantwell/Meriweather
Would be my first guess.
Let’s see what happens in Spring.
Lot of unknown there. That RG spot is terrifying. I think the goal should be to find at least one more starter caliber guy in the portal.LT Mccoy/Meriweather

It’s young not terrifying at one point we had 3 star anez cooper starting and getting destroyed in pass coverage and he got better every yearLot of unknown there. That RG spot is terrifying. I think the goal should be to find at least one more starter caliber guy in the portal.
My hope is we get Anez Cooper Sophomore year output from either Buchanan or Minaya.Lot of unknown there. That RG spot is terrifying. I think the goal should be to find at least one more starter caliber guy in the portal.
Which OL was better? '24 or '25?
My biggest concern with Seaton was he appeared to undercut what Mario's all about. Say whatever you want about Mario, but the team's tough and plays together. You can bring in a star who might not be perfect for that, but at OL? Meh. I just hope some of the question marks resolve themselves over spring ball. If Buchanan or Minaya ball out and Rodriguez stays healthy, with Mensah's feet, I feel ok.People don't understand we didn't NEED seaton. He simply was the cherry on top. Would've been nice.

2024 was a better OLWhich OL was better? '24 or '25?
Cooper started the end of his freshman year. His sophomore year he was pretty good, but he was surrounded by veterans other than cici, and we weren’t trying to compete for a national title either. Given that no one listed at RG has played really at all, they would not be surrounded by veterans, and we are now trying to compete for a national title, it’s not a situation I feel particularly good about.It’s young not terrifying at one point we had 3 star anez cooper starting and getting destroyed in pass coverage and he got better every year
Other than having serious concerns at 4/5 of the spots things seem great lolMy hope is we get Anez Cooper Sophomore year output from either Buchanan or Minaya.
My biggest concerns in order:
1. Mccoy has never played LT for any extended period
2. Rodriguez has never stayed healthy, and no one is behind him
3. Unknown at RG
4. Cantwell in pass block
5. Okunlola getting bored murdering people at LG
Yeah, helluva talent, but diva act is counter to the culture we’re developing.My biggest concern with Seaton was he appeared to undercut what Mario's all about.

Exactly.IMO ‘24 because Carpenter > Brockermeyer and Rivers was better than McCoy at guard.
‘23 was better than both though. That was one of the best OL’s in school history.
