D$ and Peter,

Great podcast. Thanks. You’ve increased my optimism on this recruiting class for the Canes.

One note on our two new OL commits. Yes, the staff seems willing to take chances on huge, athletic OL recruits who are just 3 stars at the moment. Agree that they are hoping to find more diamonds like Anaz Cooper.

My thought is that the Portal has changed the perspective of our coaches. If these guys become stars like Cooper, great. Well done. If they don’t? You no longer have to carry them on your roster for 4-5 years. The Portal gives the coaches an option to “export” recruits who don’t make the grade. So, the risk of taking a developmental OL recruit has been diminished substantially.

Tough business. But the coaches can now cut their losses if they miss on the evaluation of high school recruits. Developmental players are now much less risky than they have been under older recruiting rules.
 
Big man with good feet. Loving the types of OL we're crootin

Really! In June, let's see where we are in December.
im not comparing class to ours im just speaking facts to their class currently. This the most ive ever seen them cook early.

Rutgers just beat us up a few months ago doing what Mario wants to do= so i aint looking down on them like the big east days lol

Well, that's about right! Even though that was sarcasm. One year left in high school, will be sitting behind pancake, McCoy @ plazz, so your sarcasm is actually right!!
Definitely wouldn't expect anything before their 3rd or 4th year's in the program lol
 
i treat these last 2 as European nba draft prospects...drafts and stash for 2-3 years.

If they hit so be it.

You casnt teach that wingspan and sizes if they can cook up the technique (mario, bain, mirabal)and thye have some toughness one of em will hit

@DMoney
Agree, eventually a couple of them will hit. I mean our entire OL is nothing but 6'5+ 300LBs+ with NFL bodies. You can't teach natural power and size
 
Sampson, Kinsler, McCoy and Bell aren’t going anywhere for at least 2 years probably 3. We are OT rich. Perfect time to take a flyer on high upside projects.
this is why you probably wouldnt drop huge nils for a tackle that is gonna sit and possibl transfer out if he doesnt beat out any of those guys.

Next class you may go higher in nil budget.

We kind of need a certified center an interior prospects but i wont break the bank their either.

I would spend on Buchanon and the samoan from Goreman though

Good point. Man NIL trickles into all aspects now.
 
These are the 3 star OL types you shoot your shot on. Lock em up and let’s move on to bigger fish.
Exactly. The kinds of players that fly under the radar in recruiting and end up day 1-2 draft picks coming out of places like Rutgers, Memphis, etc. Happens all the time.

Hopefully Rodriguez or nino has been doing something to get ready Rodriguez was here when Danny Miaz was coach let that sink in? Correct me if I'm wrong!!!

Did your screen name come from the position you like to get in for Mario?
