Trout shouldered kid.

That’s not a good look for an athlete at a high level.

i like his feet but he lunges a lot. seems narrow with short arms. but you take an athletic 6'8" 300 pounder all day.

These concerns combined with the fact that everyone admits he's got very limited pass blocking experience means there is risk here and he's not likely to be a Francis and start from day 1. But you have to recruit him just like you recruited Samson knowing he wouldn't be a day one starter.

While I do like Iheanacho better, I want both. I believe he already has the power and strength Samson didn't come in with. His arms are short for someone 6'7", they are already a inch in the good for the combine at 33.5". 34" arms on T's or longer is preferred, but not a must. Mirabal will have some work to do with him on his stance and pass protection. He has the ability to be very good.

He's a giant. The question on guys like this is bend and health. Can he handle the attacking defenders in pass pro, especially shorter quick twitch guys? And will his knees, calves, ankles and feet hold all that weight, handle all that force over time? If he's got good bones and joints, watch out, could be something super special.

The later part isn’t an issue. He’s got the bloodline of two Olympian parents so not worried there.

CIS tweet says third week of March, but March 1 begins on a Saturday. Does that count as a full week? Technically it does, but IDK if D$ or whoever is running the CIS account started counting from the first full week.

I agree his issues aren’t Physical but Technical. Which Good OL coaches can develop. When the issues are physical the development process takes longer if at all. If he’s coachable and has a good work ethic he can be very productive in college!

Agree with this. But let's not write him off if he takes until Year 2 or 3 to be a factor. Fans are bailing on Pancake even as he's putting in the work to develop (and he has some physical work to do, not just technical).
