Manny never stops workin!

Amen. How the team plays on Saturdays, comes from the top. A lazy bum at the top will produce an “L” on Saturday’s.

In this article from the Miami Herald, bottom picture, look at how he’s got the attention of the team! I don’t see any of them cleaning the fungus out of their toe nails, while the coach speaks.

Miami beats out Alabama, Florida to land commitment from blue-chip in-state tackle

Jalen Rivers, one of the top-ranked tackles in Florida for the Class of 2020, orally committed to the Miami Hurricanes, picking UM over the Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs.

I like the add for our depth purposes, but we really need to have a better flux of talent coming in for future our OL.

Here were are rushing stats against ACC opponents last year:

NC - 34 att for 229 yards (6.74 avg) 2 TDs
FSU - 46 att for 102 yards (2.22 avg) 0 TD
UVA - 29 att for 149 yards (5.14 avg) 1 TD
BC - 36 att for 155 yards (4.31 avg) 1 TD
Duke - 44 att for 300 yards (6.82 avg) 2 TDs
GT - 30 att for 134 yards (4.47 avg) 3 TDs
VT - 32 att for 168 yards (5.25 avg) 2 TDs
Pitt - 32 att for 293 yards (9.16 avg) 2 TDs

Against better competition:
LSU - 34 att for 83 yards (2.44 avg) 1 TD

We definitely could use some road graders up front bc unfortunately I remember all too well how we struggled to run when it was 3rd and short numerous times.

Pretty sure each of the main rbs averaged over 4 yards a carry (4.3 and 4.8) respectively vs LSU but point taken

Great pickup for the ’19 recruiting class and hopefully will play up as such that he secures the RG spot. If that becomes the case as others have pointed out, we should be able to ram the ball down the throats of our ACC Coastal opponents as such that we break their will to play defense and it should provide us with excellent opportunities to throw over the top after pounding the rock consistently. Liking the pickup big time...

How much do you think this has to do with the other kid we just brought in? Kennedy right?

People seemed pretty underwhelmed with him.
