Smoking Hot Take

Vince didn’t take over games like this kid is going to.

Vince was very good...but not "All-World"....
All-World was....
Jerome
Sapp
Maryland
Tez.....

Yeah I don't think Vince is the right comparison. Awesome player, but he was a 0/1 tech. Bain is a 5 tech who plays 3 some.

That wasn't his MO though

Same thought here. Sa'lavea must suck balls at recruiting and not in a good way. How could we not get even ONE of the top dogs? Hopefully we can flip Stone.

Like if you’re an ELITE dude, would you not be licking your chops to line up next to him. He’ll take every double team and allow you to eat! Just doesn’t make sense.

The only thing I am elite at is defecating, so I wouldn't know.

But yes, I agree with you. If I was a top dawg, I would want to come to The U because I could play immediately... and that's what Bain shows the recruit more than anything. If you're good enough, Mario will play you regardless of age/class.

Willis was a wrecking ball here.

Correct. Just responding since I don’t think Vince was a good comparison. Elite 1 tech but not “impactful” like Bain can be. Bain is a 3 down DL and is showing he can do it all.
