Juwan Mitchell, Texas LB - possible next portal take?

[AtlAtty]

People continue to sleep on Flagg. Dude has lost weight and changed his body. He’s only been here one year

I think Flagg can/will be productive, but I’d like to see depth and that means having productive upper classmen at all positions and the ability to use freshmen and sophomores in specific situations. So not a knock on Flagg as much as a knock on our recruiting which requires Flagg to get so much time even when he wasn’t really ready last year physically.

Manny definitely curving the kid, the I like you.........but not that much kind of treatment.

Manny likely watched the same film we did lol. Which was very mediocre.

I'm just anxious to learn whose the of our eye at linebacker within the portal

Because he’s not a south Florida kid that’s why people sleep on him. I’m expecting good things from Flagg this season.

Any portal kid they take will have to be worth it. At any position. No need to blow a spot on a average starter or somebody that might not even start.

Think about what you’re saying. And then post.

Clearly you didnt fully read this thread before you made this emotional response. Keep reading junior and you will find what youre looking for. This wont be the guy, and for good reason.

 

[Odysseus]

Definitely need a blue chip at the position a NFL one a done MLB

Is who Manny is waiting for at LB worthwhile of the description you provided ?

 

[WestGA'Cane]

I said it was an educated guess, from what I’ve been told and the names mentioned.
He wouldn’t make sense. They have somebody who’d jump in but they want to see what their first option does and see who else enters the portal before they make a decision. I’ve been saying the same thing for a a month or two. I could see a few guys in the portal , a lb ( highly likely ) , de ( possible ) and a guard ( possible).

So as far as the OL, do they not trust Rivers in pass protection?

 

[WestGA'Cane]

Go big or go home. I like it.

Rivers and Clarke have good and bad moments , pretty much the entire interior lol. Consistency is the issue.

 

[WestGA'Cane]

This the only thing that bothers me a tad. “Miami could be sticking with what they have” hopefully that’s just a soft let down lol I like the guys we got but they need more time to develop. In my opinion we a LB and a DE away from competing in the top 10

Well Manny can't tell Mitchell their waiting on better prospects.

 

[CaneThang2020]

You might if you're competing with others for the limited available resources. If you can guarantee me the sirloin will be there waiting for me in two weeks fine. If not the ground beef might have to do.

Yep...lol....mess around thinking ur big time and lose out on the sirloin AND ground beef.....now ur stuck with the vienna sausage and crackers ur sick of eating

 

[DemCanesByke]

I better not see jennings or ragone on the field i know that. That linebacker play is unwatchable.

 

[M3N]

Would of loved to be a fly on the wall during defensive recruiting over the past 5 years...

Might be the worst LBs I’ve ever seen at UM.

Golden landed better Lbs and arguments can be made for DBs. Manny doesn’t know what he’s looking clearly

Would they take a center if someone really good was I'm there? Or is Gaynor just going to get it by default?

While I completely agree with you I think If Steed never gets hurt he’d be a 3 year starter.

For me, it has nothing to do with him not being from south florida. It has to do with the fact that i have barely seen any plays where the dude
makes a tackle within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. Show me his highlights from last year please. prove me wrong. He got a ton of playing time, and would go long periods of time of not being in on any plays. All the linebackers last year sucked. He did too. Spring game looked the same to me. I think he was in on one play. Someone posted on here the other day something like, " Flagg often is not noticed and that means he is doing a good job". Not in my boat. In my experience as a canes fan since 1982 when we have a good MLB you hear about, you see them, they are making plays all game. i trust Cribby's and others point of view on football. I could be wrong and he could be extremely good at setting the defense, making calls, but what i am seeing during the play is him getting washed or unable to use his speed to get to the ball carrier. I hope he turns it around. He is a cane, and i will root for all of our guys. I just think, and it seems like our coaches do as well, that he is not the answer. at MLB.



on a positive note- how bout Keontra?

 

[Kansas Cane]

Seems like there’s a Stevenson like talent out there at MLB that the staff is working on.

Absolutely no info to support that but you just get the feeling.

Manny’s king of the off-season for a reason.

 

[canesdude]

One of the kids has three years of eligibility left.

Would this be Justin Flowe from the Ducks?
