No he has not. Idc what he did vs Temple. He has been a warm body.I’ll give the kid the benefit of the doubt on size. We all clowned Thomas Gore too and he’s actually been solid depth. More than solid actually.
I think you get mad because you’ve swung and missed on dozens of other DT prospects and are now grasping at straws late in the recruiting season.Nah you can't be mad it this offer. Dude was jump cutting and getting off blocks, while eating up space. I like it.
It's an even more solid play if you need a quicker impact. DT is a maturity position. A lot of recruit straight out of HS are either not physically or mentally ready for that position as 17/18 year old. Sometimes it's both. Not saying this is a slam dunk either, but you like your chances a little more with someone that's been getting reps and in a S&C program. We'll see.Thanks for this man
I think the JUCO route is a solid play with how the portal has transformed
Understandable!!I think you get mad because you’ve swung and missed on dozens of other DT prospects and are now grasping at straws late in the recruiting season.
Kid does have decent offers and tape doesn’t look too bad. But it’s a failure in terms of the approach they took to get to this point.
Yea. The frustration of how we got to where we are is the issue all of us should have. Law of averages and NIL budget, plus the narrative we heard around the building of a DL class created a lot of the mood around the fanbase. You would think we would have gotten one of the big fish we threw a line out for.I think you get mad because you’ve swung and missed on dozens of other DT prospects and are now grasping at straws late in the recruiting season.

Plz explain why this is a reach…
Sure why not. At least he can move a little at that size?
Well seeing that 90% of the fanbase thought he should just leave and transfer out like Terry Roberts did after the Spring game I would say he is trending up.No he has not. Idc what he did vs Temple. He has been a warm body.
Far cry from, "more than solid." He has been serviceable vs lower competition.Well seeing that 90% of the fanbase thought he should just leave and transfer out like Terry Roberts did after the Spring game I would say he is trending up.
There are way better JUCO options such as 6'4 333lbs 2024 DT Jerome Simmons from south carolina.
#STRecruiting: #Gamecocks offer big JUCO DT with state background
Jerome Simmons DT Jerome Simmons (6-4 333) played his high school football at Bamberg-Ehrhardt. He was not a heavily recruited player, so after the 2022 season, he signed with Highland JC, KS to im…sportstalksc.com
Go Canes
He’s got T-Rex arms.
He’s going to struggle at the D1 level.
If Oklahoma wanted him I want him liked his tape lord knows we need a guy with this sizeSo he was committed to OU but backed off? Regardless, whatever, take.
Big man is pretty nimble though. This is a no brainer, should have offered him months ago lol.
