This can’t be a surprise to anyone with an IQ over 75. Right up there with Tripp.

So what is the story there? Tripp is a good size IOL at 6'3 300, i remember Mariobal identified him early He moves from Baltimore to Bradenton and immediately wins a starting spot on their D1 caliber Oline. Was a high 3/4* coming out of IMG, expected to play g/c here. Takes a redshirt last year, got some mop up duty early in the season against the scrub teams with the other bench players, Portals Out.

He's clearly talented & on a good trajectory, is he homesick What gives? Could he be heading to FiU with Pata, or just another kid who doesn't want to work & develop?

Some of you are hilarious bashing Mario & Mirabal's management of the OL. Were you watching about 5 years ago when the OL was historically bad? The line has steadily improved and was consistently reliable last season.

Certainly, like most schools, we have a self-imposed budget/cap for the roster. CC's getting paid, of that you can be assured. The annual mercenary center takes a chunk too I'd imagine. Cooper and someone with Bell's measurables do well too, I'd think. You can't recruit 5 stars who are handsomely paid to sit on the bench for 3 years. That's the conundrum with Samson. The staph can be bashed for many things, but not for signing developmental OL on the cheap while fielding a very good OL.

There are only five starting spots. Typically we bring in 4-5 new OL prospects each year. You either improve and stay in line to start or get leap frogged. I can only guess as to why. 20
Years ago they would’ve been buried on the depth chart as virtual unknowns, earning their degree and moving on. Now they transfer out, become a virtual unknown elsewhere, maybe earn a degree and move on.

IIRC Tripp started his first game for IMG then the next game he was a healthy scratch and don’t believe he started for them again all season. I remember finding it odd because I thought he held up well that first game and was surprised to not see him out there that second game.

He is what he is but if there is a position you take a chance on, ESPECIALLY with scholarship roster limits now at 105, it’s offensive linemen, especially on a team with mirabel as arguably your best position coach and with Mario as your oc It won’t always work.

Neither does 5 star always work- see pancake
