Love to hear it. It’s also helping us that OSU clearly has other priorities at the moment

I don’t know much about this from the Miami side but just the vibe I get I think I’d risk a little money and bet on us here just knowing how Mario has been able to close
 
I am sure the big money guys putting up the NIL for Beck are not looking to win 9 games. They know we have a couple of major holes to fill.

I am willing to bet that they were not happy with how the season ended which put a damper on contributing for HS recruiting. Time heals all wounds and they want to win next year.

Mesidor can’t hold up there brother. That was an idiotic move by the staff. When he moved back to de he flashed more than the rest of the year combined. I griped about it from the moment I heard he was playing inside. Imo If anyone should move it’s Bain. Bain is thicker ( pause ) and stronger.

Yea I get it. I also would prefer Bain to make the switch but didn't feel like creating an uproar on the board.

So if we get Damon, does Mesidor just accept DE3 role? That's the thing I'm worried about.

Like we talked about separately, if the sophomore edges make a jump, there aren't enough snaps at DE for everyone. Whereas DT is kind of thin.

I don't know, is this the place to drop the B$g? Yeah it isn't my money, but I assume there's some sort of budget. SDE is experienced and deep, but it's WDE where someone needs to emerge. And that someone likely needs to put on weight if expected to manage starter reps. So do you give those guys another year? Can you count on the best of Lightfoot, Pickett, Rudolph, McConathy, Lowe, even Bryant? It 's a long list of candidates, but the twitchy ones are all light in the a**. And do you drop a big bag for the portal guy with worlds of potential, but production that doesn't quite match up?

Bain should have been a DT the moment he bulked up

I dunno. He was very effective as a DE and Reggie White, for instance, was basically a very athletic DT, who had the twitch to play end AND bring his physical prowess to that position, so he stayed there.

I think as long as we have enough quality at DT, and I feel like we do (knowing Bain and Mesidor can kick inside in case of injuries) I think you roll with Bain until it's obvious that someone else will get more pressure on the QB from that position. I do think that wherever you put Bain, he is just a straight up playmaker and needs to be one of the starters, wherever he is placed.

Pretty Sure Mesidor would be the Starting SDE of Bain moves to DT.
 
I think the question is not should we just randomly switch one of their positions. The question is how do we improve the unit AS A WHOLE.

DE: Damon Wilson/Bryant/Lightfoot/Booker/Lowe
DT: Blay/Horton
DT: Moten/Scott/Artavius
DE: Bain/Mesidor/Blount/McConathy/Scro


DE is stacked if we add Damon Wilson. DT is kind of thin.

Reggie White was 6’5, a lot more length the Bain…Pause. Bain is more stout. Unless that injury really affected his explosiveness last year he didn’t look quick enough on the edge, he did look strong enough though. Think the Canes and him need to choose a direction either 260-270lbs SDE or 280-290lbs DT.

We're in the game here. Big-ticket recruitment and we have other needs but we love the player.

Other needs but on most peoples list of needs was a big time pass rusher. Unless JS is shaking loose(unlikely), the WR options after spring will be solid options but nothing spectacular.
