Miami adds Lou Cristobal to roster

Veteran Georgia State interior lineman Lou Cristobal has pledged his commitment to Miami, a move that is significant both on and off the field.

A rotational lineman at Georgia State, Cristobal is expected to provide depth for the Canes at a critical position, a need that became all too apparent during the spring game. With probable starters Javion Cohen and Anez Cooper missing in action with injury, the interior offensive line was noticeably under pressure. Adding a lineman with Cristobal's experience could add necessary stability and resilience to this essential unit.

At 6 feet and weighing in at 274 pounds, Cristobal played over 350 snaps last season for GSU. Born into a family with a proud legacy at Miami, Lou Cristobal is the son of Luis Cristobal, a former offensive lineman for the Canes. Notably, he is also the nephew of Miami's head coach Mario Cristobal. Cristobal is originally class of 2019 out of Columbus HS.

However, this is not just a sentimental choice for the Canes. Cristobal is bringing a solid two years of eligibility to Miami, and the hope is that he will use this time to deliver on the field and help rebuild an offensive line that faced some challenges in the spring game.

While the addition of Cristobal doesn't resolve all the offensive line issues facing the Hurricanes, it is an important step in the right direction.

Thank for continuously wasting your time and energy to provide common sense logic to this dumpster fire of offseason dialogue.

Pete wrote an article about a walk-on (confirmed?) making him seem like a difference maker and people expect the board to ignore it….

With the connects and background, maybe he'll get him into the agent game? Pete ain't known for his judgment of writing skillz.

well they are about the same size.

But foreal doesnt bother me....maybe he can push 1 of the back ups at center...and that is good enough with 2 yr elgibility he allows tripp to redshirt and be our center in waiting.

The real issue im confused about is how Georgia State didnt threaten us with tampering like Tulane did when we tried to land Guidry's ace

Did Mario promise not to recruit Lou when he left Georgia State to take the Miami job?

Never seen him play but is this like a Rudy walk on thing where this guy comes to practice every day just to get the **** beat out of him and come back for more the next day?

They'll ignore it, if they can figure out that it’s an obvious troll job meant to generate clicks, negative comments, and controversy. Or are you not familiar with our Pete.

1.) He accepted the job
2.) Guidrys son hadnt logged 1 snap for Tulane....he also is now going to Lsu.

We continue to make some nutless decisions when it comes to standing our ground.

Is it true this guy counts as three scholarships? If so, I am angry!

Your numbers are mixed up my man. He’s 1/3 of the size of an OL so he counts for 1/3 of a scholarship.

Him and new DT commit (2/3) make up one total.

I once lost an argument to an imaginary person. Was a rough night

I lose arguments to somebody by the name of “They” constantly cause according to my wife this SOB knows everything and she quotes him/her every time we have a discussion.

One of these days I’d like to meet “ They” but “ They” never seem to be available .

Well looks like the second wave finally hit even though it was more a ripple in a puddle as opposed to a wave….

He’s already working against Gore in practice. Looks like Gore won this rep though

If he’s doing it to troll and generate clicks then let the bodies fall where they fall…but then it becomes a Maude problem unfortunately….
