Players need to play in this new era. Playing in the G5 and dominating gets you to starting in the P4 faster than "developing".

Also, likely not as lucrative. Backups like Tinilau, unless they have some wild NIL deal, aren't making a ton. Big MF like Tinilau should be playing somewhere in the G5 murking fools.

No, fsu ended up where they are because instead of doing what they were doing before which was taking portal players who were the best player or one of the top 3 best players on their respective teams they decided to take high potential players who contributed nothing to their respective teams.

If you haven’t noticed the best players aren’t in the portal anymore at the same rate they were before. Highschool recruiting and development is king

he needs game reps.

I dont know what level of offers he will get ...but he needs to go to a g5 and START. gO OUT TO A MOUNTAIN WEST TEAM OR SOMETHING....like stated he has the frame you look for.

He always was gonna be 3 years away from anything.
I think we likely lose another in spring off the line so i suggest we bring in another tackle..because none of the tackles they are bringing in are plug n play or 2 deep types.

Another 3 star special from the OL gurus
Click to expand...
40% of our starting OL this year were 3* specials signed in '22. Tinilau/Tripp/Francavilla were misses. Kinsler & Plazz are TBD. That's a 40% hit rate on 3* OL.

The OL we have brought in since Mario got here:

HS: Cooper, McCoy, Mauigoa, Okunlola (x), Tripp (x), Kinsler (TBD), Tinilau (x), Plazz (TBD), Minaya (TBD), Francavilla (x), SJ (TBD), Buchanan (TBD), Wilkerson (TBD), Campbell (TBD)
Portal/JUCO: Denis (x), Sagapolu (x), Cristobal (x), Lee, Cohen, Bell, Carpenter

14 I think you can make a call on. We've hit on 7 of them (50%). A very astute poster ( @Rellyrell ) made a great point in another thread:

The elite teams r hitting at 33%+ EVERY cycle all the way to the portal.​

We're hitting above that rate (or at it if you want to include Kinsler as a miss) with 3* OL. We're well above it when you consider all OL recruiting.

That’ll be the two projects at tackle this cycle in a couple of years

Unless they hit in which case it was excellent... If you miss 5 of these type of projects and hit on one that's sometimes all you need. We need to get a top 5star day 1 starter type OT like Mauigoa every 3 years.

Nico is a miss after 1 year?

I included him because we immediately recruited over him with SJ, and I don't think he has the size to play any other place but C

EDIT: I didn't realize he was 293lb according to 247. Thought he was much smaller
