This is what I have been talking about on here...the bottom like...1/4 to 1/3 of the roster is totally unusable. I'd be willing to give Dykstra (he's only a RS Fr) more time, but Searles doesn't exactly develop anyone, because he, himself, stinks. Unfortunately, Dykstra is destined to be Bar Milo as far as I can see.
Then people like to neg and flat out disagree when you suggest we need grad transfers and JUCO players. These are the types of players you need - in theory, if you identify and evaluate correctly - to supplement that bottom 1/4 of the roster. It helps correct mistakes and gives you someone that can at least eat snaps for you.
OL is one of the worst units from a depth perspective.
Out of 15 scholarship offensive linemen, we had three unusable players - not even worthy of special teams snaps in Milo, Brown Jr., and Dykstra. Then you've got three of those linemen that were specifically chosen for redshirts - Cleveland Reed, Corey Gaynor, and John Campbell - because they have legitimate potential, but need a developmental year.
So, right away, you've got 15 scholarship players reduced to 9 currently usable players. KaiLeon Herbert was injured. Another redshirt. Down to 8. You've got your five starters (lets say Boulware is a starter) and your reserve players were Jones, Mahoney, and Hillery.
And then you wonder why we need JUCO and Grad Transfer players. We can't even sport a legit two deep at this point and you are relying on a big jump next year from those redshirt players (Reed, Gaynor, and Campbell) because we are losing two long time starters on the OL (Gauthier and St. Louis).
Times is tough on that OL and we got some trash on there that will play significant snaps. Times is tough.
If we are being real, Miami should make it the highest priority, not only for a Grad Transfer, but a JUCO as well, to mix in with a few freshman, especially since we have swung and missed on all of the top OL talent this year and are rummaging the mid-tier P5 3* aisle.
