Miamis DTs top 3 DTs are better than last years. That’s all that matters. JHH is an ok player. Clark and Barrow are upgrades. Scott is an upgrade in terms of talent. Our DTs were an issue. I wish our secondary added another corner and safety. That’s our weak spot this year. Front 7 is not. You have Moton, Barrow, Cook, Scott, and Blount can rush inside there also. I feel comfortable this year for a change.
I think the big benefit of Barrow is he’s steady. Sadly enough we haven’t had much of that at DT. LT seemed to be very inconsistent and most of our other guys just weren’t really good enough to make impacts.
LT didn’t wanna be great. He still had nfl ability and I’ll be interested to see how he plays. My guess is he will be a monster for that second contract. But it’s all up to him. We have steady DTs us facts. That Justin Scott kid may be the DT we used to see yearly at Miami.
I’m optimistic by nature but this stuff with Barrow is strange. We need him to be in here and be a steadying force and a leader for a DT group that’s lacked both
Clark is very strong. Barrow will be motivated by the nfl money. Scott is the most talented DT we will have. He’s a freshman though. We have some depth with guys like Moton and I’m excited at the grouping.
Jones was my favorite player in the 2024 class. I think he’ll play
I think he gets more burn than scott this year, hope they both turn out great but jones strength numbers and athleticism on film are crazy
In todays portal Era you can’t stash and redshirt a lot of kids. Jones and Scott will play! Lightfoot is small but will play. Big time talents will play. It was great when you could redshirt kids and get them physically ready. Most will leave. Jones has that wrestling background with quick feet. Mario said he was over 300 pounds when he signed. He will absolutely play.
The entire point is the guy hasn’t been a difference maker the way a lot of our fans have hoped for. If you follow the thread people were literally hinging our run defense success on him coming here or not
Can’t wait for camp when we get to see if some of these guys belong right away
I agree a lot of our run defense might hinge on what we get from Clark & Moten who are the biggest guys with experience under their belts. And Horton is another X factor, we've been hearing good things but gotta see it at some point to know what he's capable of.
Pull the pigeon next time , helps.
LT just didn’t have the push he needed I guess. Love the kid for coming here but the school let him down but he also let himself down for not grinding the way he should have (Allegedly)
