2023 Frankie Tinilau - OL from Australia - Committed!

[Billy D Williams]

Note to RB's. If Miami offers commit immediately if allowed. Young and Fletcher come in

He did well as far as testing. At the UA camp he only got 4 or so one on one reps as there were a ton of lineman who came in for the event.

Do you remember what his results were? Particularly curious about the short shuttle.

I'll get that info. He had a 26 inch vert which impressed. 40 and shuttle times I don't recall but I can get those.

Yea I think 4 is the low bar number

Big, athletic kid that needs a lot of work on his technique. The positives are he moves his feet well, is nasty and has athleticism.

The negatives are hand placement, punch, and he doesn't know how to use his exceptional length. He's a waist bender. No explosion from his hips and doesn't bend his knees and leans over his toes too much. Twitchy, speed rushers would give him issues off the edge.

He would need at least two years to develop proper technique. High ceiling and low floor prospect. Could be a steal or a complete bust.

if we start pulling poly dudes it's over

That’s my thoughts. They was pulling studs at Oregon. We need to do the same.

Well we have two of the best OL coaches in the nation that can coach him up. I think he’s a take.

I agree with you that we have two good OL coaches but they are also good recruiters and may have more finished products ahead of him on the recruiting board.

Frankie was on the Sebastian Lane show tonight. Currently visiting SC. Says he might commit soon, potentially when he gets back from Australia.

Edit: Very clear that he has a special relationship w/Mario. Mario & Cristobal were/are checking up on him during the USC visit. He says, LA is too cold for him. LOL.

What’s going on with this kid any updates? Looks like spots are filling up. You stated he loves UM does he have a commitable offer? We are staking kids at Guard and Center we need OT?
Any update?

 

[Gru]

Gaby said he's close to putting in a CB. Although @1murhurricane would have the real scoop

[BigCaneAl]

don’t see any UM coaches tagged

Actual post from Gaby:

I don't need to keep emphasizing how important the trenches are to Miami and Mario Cristobal specifically. One tackle type I think they're high on and one I'm getting some buzz on Sunday is Australian offensive lineman Frankie Tinilau. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder visited Miami on the first day of March and earned an offer from those guys. He's really feeling Miami and I know that he and Miarabal have had conversations pretty recently. Ed Pata also coached at Miami Immaculata La Salle, where Tinilau will play when he makes his way back to the States for his senior year, before making the move to Miami and has ties at the school. I'm not sure on an exact timeline but could see Tinilau as a member of this class. I'd ideally like to talk to him personally before putting in anything formal.
