From Barry Jackson article last week:

UM added centers in the transfer portal each of the past three seasons, with Matt Lee in 2023, Zach Carpenter in 2024 and James Brockermeyer this season. But offensive line coach Alex Mirabal said that won’t be the case next season. “We’re staying inside,” Mirabal said Saturday. The internal options include Nino Francavilla and SJ Alofaituli. Ryan Rodriguez conceivably could try to get another season of eligibility. Is the freshman Alofaituli ready next year to be a heavy-snap player? “He’s ready now,” Mirabal said.

Not sure if Nino leaving changes things but would think we need to add a Center now to at least be a backup.

Not sure why you spend all this time developing Kinsler then boot him out as he is possible next up at RG/RT or 6th man?

Maybe he’s isn’t panning out

Maybe he’s developing and they think he’s worth 200k and he wants 500k because his agent says that he can get it

Everyone needs to stop looking at these things as very black and white.

It doesn't matter why he's leaving. Maybe it's because he sucks, like you said. Maybe it's because we didn't think he was worth the investment. Maybe he wants a guaranteed starting spot.

Doesn't matter. Bottom line is that our 2-deep next year is going to be young and inexperienced with tons of unproven depth.

Our OL was a foundation of our CFP run. Not sure we can lean on the OL next year.

Kinsler is first one I care about. If Seaton doesn’t come, likely would have factored into the OG/RT competition and been quality depth either way. I can’t say I’m surprised though, he will land at a good spot.

Kids aren’t being paid or sticking around to be “quality depth.” Those days are over. There is no incentive to wait and develop on either side
