People were ready to quit on this kid bc he wasn’t Day 1 ready like Mauigoa. He got injured and from there he just went to work.

He will be a household name next season.

i was one of them saying he was portal bound ... i'm ecstatic that i was wrong ... real development going on in miami these days
 
He was amazing last night and has been great all season as a rotational guy! He can move i like him at guard but i am intrigued with him at tackle if he can hold up!
 
Is Bell leaving? Assume he starts at LT in 2026 if he returns.

But Samson at LT seems a logical move if Bell leaves.

Last year after the Louisville game he was first one on the bus and he seemed very unhappy. I thought for sure he was gone. Glad he stuck it out!
 
This is a good development story in my opinion. When he came here, he honestly did not live up to the hype but now he is coming into his own. Glad to see it.

Yes, I do realize that OL are not always maulers as TF or soph and they usually have to grow into it mainly because they aren't physically ready but I don't see that as the issue with him. His technique has improved dramatically and you have to credit that growth to his work and to teammates and Mirabal for coaching him up.
 
Best game he has played. Was mauling guys. He is getting paid a lot of money so I think they have to give him a shot at tackle especially if bell leaves. Maybe even RT but he looked amazing at guard last night.
 
Optimally for 26'

LT - Bell
LG - Okunlola/Minaya
C - Rodriguez/Portal
RG - McCoy/Buchanan
RT - Cantwell/Kinsler
