Low 3 star recruit out of ohio with offers from:

Probably not the next Jerome Brown

On it's own, I like adding what will probably be solid, experienced depth. That said, taking this guy means we have 1 less scholarship available for the 2018 class.

It's comical how off base you always are about everything

 

[Ammok]

Quality depth for DT with plenty game experience. Plus our guys will push him to be even better if he wants play time.
Ok, who do we fire for this and can I throw a hissy fit anyway?

 

[greenbag305]

Lol

 

[Ammok]

Probably not the next Jerome Brown

He doesn't have to be.
Only need to be solid and dependable, than a superstar like JB. Let Willis, our stud DE's and our 1 more year experienced and improved back 7 make more plays. It's a team sport. With better QB play our D will be even better this year. Yes, QB play.

If he's good enough for Don Brown, he's good enough for me

 

[smack99]

Certainly can fill in for Moten for a year.

 

[ThomasM]

Very nice. Played in 10 games and started 4 last year. 4.5 TFL's, 1 sack and 29 TOT.

Kul will up that production by coaching. Nice stop gap player.

Looks like eligible to play one year, is that correct?

Is he a senior?

Looks like it: Illinois Athletics

Yep. Never hurts to have a grown man on the line.

No, this is a Coach Kool special. Big difference.

Good lord you guys have an incredible gift for turning anything positive into a negative.

I love it. Maybe he'll rip a ref's head off and make the rest of them think twice about calling/not calling flags against us.

 

[BeastMode]

Good pickup that provides depth and experience to a very green position for Miami.

 

[Gi0logy]

I still don't get what all the Kool haters were talking about. The guy is one of the best DL coaches in the country and they still found a way to trash him. Recruiting cycle ain't over y'all.

But this is a great addition with decent production at a garbage team. Tito, Nesta, and Rousseau + Briggs and Chatfield (maybe Chatman too) would be a great haul on the DL.

 

[OmahaCane]

Reminds me of Michael Sam....

 

[Canes1968]

He isn't. It has no impact on our cycle numbers-wise.

Yes, he does count against the 25. All first-time grants of financial aid count as initial counters, except when giving a scholarship to a walk-on who has been on campus for at least 2 years.

True, but we have 28 available initial counters for 2018, so there's room

Only to the extent that we don't want to fill those spots with recruits. That's my point. We have 28 available spots. That number can't be increased, so by taking this guy and Boulware, we now can only sign 26 in this class.

So, it’s not like we have a bunch of targets left anyway

Don't disagree, and that's why I like this overall, but there is a scenario where we might want that spot. That's all I'm saying.

 

[Canes1968]

He absolutely impacts numbers. He counts against the 25 scholarships limit per year.

You sure?

He isn't. It has no impact on our cycle numbers-wise.

Yes, he does count against the 25. All first-time grants of financial aid count as initial counters, except when giving a scholarship to a walk-on who has been on campus for at least 2 years.

Nope. And if that were the case, then why haven't you accounted for guys that we're losing to transfers like Owens and Fines?

Losing guys like Owens and Fines only helps us to the extent that it gives us room under the 85 scholarship limit. Losing those guys has no impact on the 25 scholarship limit.
