Updates on a couple offensive linemen

Jalen Rivers - going through his decision making process now but solid chance he’s back for another. Has an opportunity to get his Masters degree. Scouts think he’s playing out of position as a tackle — will play guard at the next level. 6th-7th round grade right now, could help himself coming back and working on his “stiffness” as was put to me

Matt Lee - Late/PFA grade right now and Miami pushing hard to get him back. Trusts Mario/Mirabal obviously. Getting him back would be absolutely massive

No idea. Would be cool to learn more about him, this journey he is on and all he has had to go through. I am rooting for him though. Just trying to have empathy. One minute you are playing major division 1 football on a national stage, projected high pick and then gone. I have sons. That sucks.

Oh for sure, hate it for him how it’s worked out so far with football. But I feel like I remember seeing he’s a CS major and I want to say someone on here said he’s pretty serious about it, so seems like he has a good head on his shoulders.

Getting both back would be so sick. Bell Rivers Lee Cooper Cici. Hammer it

Who is Lee's replacement as of now?

Already on roster or another portal target?

Yes, he's on the roster now. His name escapes me but he played well in that when Lee got hurt and was out for part of the game.

Does anyone know his name and number?

Lee coming back would be massive. Having pancake make a the jump to starting LT allows Rivers to move inside

Lee, Cooper, Mauigoa, and Rivers are a great foundation. McCoy, Samson, Kinsley, Tripp, Rod, +4-5 2024 kids make that a top 5 OL room.

You forgot the 6-9 giant bell!

Markel Bell isn't coming here to play school, brother.

LT - Bell or Okunlola
LG - Rivers
C - Lee
RG - Cooper
RT - Mauigoa

Monster line.

Did I? I said the 4-5 2024 kids and Bell is 2024, no?

Would be great to get both back they could benefit by coming back and earning a sr bowl or east west shrine invite. Getting those are massive for the NFL draft process. Sometimes players are just really good College players with a low NFL ceiling bama and UGA have those guys too.

Did we ever get anything more definitive on Samson's injury? All I remember is it was during the bye, "lower extremity," and he had surgery on it in like early October. Would love to have some sense of a time frame for a return to full practice (whether that's spring, summer, or otherwise).

Saw a mock draft yesterday that had him going in the 1st round to the Phins. LOL.

I love my Phins, but right up their alley…lol.

I still think if **** fell apart with Burrow and the Bengals, and he fell to the Phins, they still would have been the only team to take Tua in the first round. (No laughing emoji…too embarrassing)

I know I know…I will hear look how much better Tua is doing this year versus Burrow…just wanted to get that out of the way.

I'm pretty sure Cribby said it was a 3 to 4 month injury.

Appreciate the response. Sounds like it was more likely foot/ankle vs. knee. If that's right then hopefully he's good to go for Spring ball.

Cribby brought that up as well said he could play or they might hold him back for precaution during the spring. Either way atleast it wasn't an ACL.

Bryant McKinnie and whatever line he is on would be the best

You aren’t kidding! I was almost thinking Jim Otto but I think our last really good center was like in 1991? Think he got drafted in middle rounds.

You may forgotten about this guy?
