Let's see how spring goes...

Why would he leave? He isn’t going to get the money he got out of hs in the portal. Keep developing and keep getting paid. Try to crack the lineup somewhere this year. 2026 both tackle spots are for sure open

He simply could be trying to win a job in the spring and if he doesn’t leave for a place that promises him a starting roll. Wouldn’t be crazy at all

Kid is putting in the work and taking his craft seriously. Kids like that put in this kind of work with his natural gifts rarely fail.

Its nice to see a young buck with grit that kept his head down and worked when he could easily transfer to play. (I get his NIL is probably a lot to stay at UM)

Truly the best possible outcome we could have. If he take Bell's job, he'll have earned it. If he doesn't take the starting role from Bell, he's going to push him to the limit, as will Kinsler. Those two step in as RS Juniors to start for a year, probably two in Bruno's case, and we have depth and continuity for years to come.

Yeah definitely not concerned but you know that already

Like that Cantwell kid is an example. I could be way wrong but dude is gonna get PAID but looks like a couple years away from being good. It’s a tough position to balance the NIL stuff but I personally think we’ve done a good job with NIL and OL

I agree 100% on your Cantwell commentary. His shoulders, traps and chest all need copious amounts of “supplements.” And by supplements I mean Tren.

I’m sure I forgot a pause somewhere in there.

This is the definition of worried about the wrong things. Just knock it off man. He hasn't even played. Just let the kid keep working

Exactly. All these people want to do is b**** about how kids just transfer out instead of facing any adversity earning their spots getting better any of the rest of that well this is a five star kid that said that s*** don't mean nothing He's taking a cut in his NIL every year and he is still here working when I know for a fact at least six places that he's had harassing the dude for him to transfer out. Be glad this kid is focused on the right things and just wants to put in the work to get better. I'd take a squad full of people that just want to get better and actually put in the work to do it

If he can pick up that RT position, maybe that moves Francis to guard

What is this boards fascination with taking players who are really good at their respective positions and then just move them somewhere else just to have someone else with no experience play?

Same with Jalen Rivers back then. It's absurd.
