Valentine (@traveeey99) is a monster on this line. Just incredible. #ArmyBowl

****, Valentine is dominating during practice.

We havent had a guy who can wreak havoc from up the middle in a long time.

 

[5Ringz]

He'll do great engaging blocks and keePing contain

 

[Gi0logy]

What are the thoughts on him cracking the starting rotation as a freshman/getting regular PT? Is that realistic?

Remember Pete interviewed Mike Tunsil on this here site.

Tunsil said his grades are fine but was short on credits.

As he should since he is still in HS and does not have a HS diploma.

He came to Champagnat short on core credits, smart ***.

Okay but the same thing still applies.

Have you seen our DL play? ... If he's healthy he plays

Yeah I read that, surprising given the Vines we saw all showed him getting owned......
Goes to show one cant put stock into them.

I've seen good reviews on Darling and Linder too. Surely even Fart can't mess up these studs.

 

[gacaneaddict]

If we had DL good enough to get off blocks they are allowed.

Valentine's payday is a 3-4 NT in the NFL.

D, any updates on grades for Val? LSU boards going nuts saying a flip is for sure and pointing to grades. Any news?

His presence here would finally let us run some more 3-4 we have been wanting to but didn't have the personal to do it.

That statement deserves its own thread because it's coming from the most important commit we've had on defense in a long long time.

“I’m solid,” Valentine said. “It’s just the feeling of South Beach. I just love it, every minute of the way. I love Coach Hurlie (Brown), I love Coach Jethro (Franklin), I love Coach Al Golden, Coach (James) Coley the OC. It’s just a great feeling over there at Miami and I know I’m going to stick to it and I know that my decision I made is right for me.”

“LSU they try hard. I have to take that official visit to see what’s up with them before I actually start pushing them into that place where Miami is at but Miami is on a whole nother level.”

I've learned to stop making predictions on grades. We never know the full story.

 

[CaneGang440]

will he start as a true freshman

 

[aintnothangbutacane]

LSU is pushing REALLY$$ hard...and they are trying to get his coaches to get him to flip also. You can just imagine how they manage that.

Have they matched Miami's offer?

 

[Paranos]

he's under tremendous pressure from them. it's a wait and see, just like Cook.

No he is under tremendous pressure from his street agent coach, who is giving them access to valentine. Lets not kid ourselves this guy did an article with ESPN saying he was a street agent and there is nothing wrong with him getting for it.

Go canes

You're obviously focused on the wrong thing Davey.

His grades were always fine but needed to take some make up classes since he was short on core credits. Coach Tunsil said TV is getting an A and a B in those classes and is on pace to graduate/qualify as long as he keeps doing what he's doing.
