Collins Acheampong???

I'm seeing a few posts suggesting maybe he wants to be at DE and Miami wants him at DT. That can't be it.

I've seen this kid on multiple occasions. I'm no coach or scout, but I can't imagine any Miami coach/scout ever envisioned him at DT. He's fairly well-built but he's way too long and lean and doesn't have the physique to play inside. There have been some freak DTs that are 6'6" or 6'8" but those guys tend to have a very thick, sturdy frame. I think he's a little bigger than GR15 was here but consider having a guy built like GR15 now and asking to move him inside.

I think it's got to be something else than a dispute about what his position is.

wow! that's a name from the deep past.

the poster child for why the star system and recruiting based on magazine rankings is total bullish*t

he's part of the FSINO Cane All Stars "Five Star in Name Only"

(Demetri Stewart is the team captain)

Then the evals of Michigan sucks and for Moss the evals of ND, Bama, Oregon suck too. Here’s something that you twats have to understand or else you continue to look foolish….ready?

Clowning on Mario for his “evals” isn’t as big of a dunk as you all think. All MAJOR programs offer these guys, recruit them, invite them to campus, and waste precious resources on them.

Instead of evals, maybe it’s the development? Or in a lot of cases, it’s FREAKING HARD TO PREDICT THE FUTURE AND TO PROJECT 17 year olds.

What is a valid Mario criticism or complaint?

I agree with what you said and add that it’s really tough to measure/vet heart and work ethic on a 17 year old kid. 6’8” and 270 will always get you a lot of looks.

You literally must make the same complaint against 15 other HC who offered these two scrubs. ND, Bama, Oregon, and Michigan all bad evals too? Mario wasn’t the only HC who offered these players.

Valid against Mario:

Defense (every aspect of it including decision on coaches), special teams play, in-game decisions, usage of portal (for the most part; there are a very few exceptions), undisciplined team (which is surprising considering his personal attitude)….all of these criticisms add up to equal a coach who shouldn’t be around long.

Recruiting and HS evaluations shouldn’t make the list, imo cause I think he’s right on par with most of FBS HC’s.

But none of them are in the Luke Nichol thread saying anything about THAT eval. Fckng crickets. That kid is a top 25 talent that was rated a 3 star and we were on him a long time ago.

Seems like a good eval. We’ll see how he does in college. Lagway was far higher rated and has potential but isn’t a guaranteed star so neither is Nickel.

The crazy part is he looks better than Lagway. A bunch of Lagways hype is on athleticism. Nichol looks like a 2nd or 3rd year college starter with some of the things he does.

I don’t think they were bad evals. Everyone knew moss had to gain weight.. he just couldn’t do it unfortunately. Collins had a major injury after committing. Never really recovered his athleticism. But the jury is still out on dude. He has plenty of time. Can’t teach a mafukka to be 6’8 but what made him intriguing was his agility at that size. Needs to gain weight and move inside.
