Bain, a 2024 All-ACC Honorable Mention selection as a sophomore starter for the Hurricanes, was one of just 42 defensive players named to the list.

Named after former NFL Hall of Fame star Ronnie Lott, the Lott Trophy annually goes to the Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year, a player who has had the biggest impact on...

No it isn’t lol. How can guys be considered anything but trash if they didn’t prove they were elite last year?

100% it is.

That's not been the consensus opinion as it pertains to the DL & particularly the Edge rushers. It's not even the minority opinion.

You can't find 5 people that have said our DE's are trash.

There's a difference in nuance between some people waiting to see how the Edge group will perform vs assuming they're all going to be All-Americans.

Idk what you’ve been reading. From what I’ve read we have no hope of having even a top 25 DLine unit and Mario has been getting significantly outrecruited on DLine. Oh and either our experienced players have proven they are not good enough or regressing or our young guys haven’t proven anything because they aren’t/werent good enough and therefore shouldnt be relied upon.

@Calinative was using hyper sarcasm to make his point. We really need a font for sarcasm. I also thought he was serious after the first comment.

I speak fluent sarcasm, I'm well aware what point he's making.

It's simply incorrect & an overexaggeration of the discussions that have actually been held regarding the DLine.

Here’s a few random threads I guarantee are filled with hate for our DLine. You’re absolutely feigning complete ignorance if you want to pretend that people haven’t been incredibly negative about our DLine and DLine recruiting as a whole.

I like how if you reread your comment how it makes no ******* sense talking bout Bain may be one of best returning lineman in conference but not in america. But yeah sure you’re not hating on Bain at all right? lol give me a break

Was waiting on this.
This all stemmed from me saying Clemson’s DL > ours. That’s it, and it’s my opinion and I’m sure several would agree.

Never did I “****” on Bain. Bain is one guy. Clemson hasn’t recruited as well as us on the DL, but they have PROVEN to CONSISTENTLY develop their guys under Dabo and whoever their DL coach is. Us, not so much. If you think me saying Woods and Parker are better than Bain is ****ting on him, then that’s between you and God brotha’.

They are better than Bain and they are the best in the conference. I said it then and I’ll say it again. If you think that means I’m ****ting on Bain, then again that’s on you.

You are doing all this talking, go ahead and actually link and show my exact posts “****ting” on Bain for everyone to see. Show the proof big cat.

Do you think there is a mile of difference between Parker+Woods and Bain? Yes I absolutely 1000% consider that ****ting on Bain when you say that and act like it’s crazy that people can think Bain is better than either or both of them, which is what you have been doing lol.

It’s funny you ask me to link it when it’s literally Already been linked

You linked a post of me specifically talking about Peter Woods. I never mentiomed Bain in the post you linked. So I’ll ask again, where is proof of me ****ting on Bain?

For the 2nd time in this thread alone, I think they are better than Bain. Is that your evidence of me ****ting on Bain?

Which comments in those threads say that our Edges are trash & there's no hope for the DLine?

I understand that you think that any discussion had that doesn't automatically place every player on the roster in the Hall Of Fame is perceived as "negative", but there's actually a very large middle ground within the spectrum of thinking players are trash vs thinking they're the best in the country.
