We've had a ton of cerebral safeties over the last decade that can't run or cover. Can we get a brother back there that runs a 4.4 and cover up mistakes please? If he's cerebral too, all the better.

Here's to hoping the track time concerns aren't valid here.

And he's been fast as **** on the camp circuit. Loy said he dominated athletically at a camp earlier this spring.

I think the track concerns are a little old and off base. Obviously, I'm KansasCane and have never seen the kid. Just going by the hype in the industry.

Duasso also said he leads RAW in picks since joining them.
 
Hope he's right on these five in terms of could pop soon. I want all five. Hanks, Buchanan, Fitzgerald, and Amari are some of my overall favorite targets. Pringle and Schott were before they said "I'M IN!"

Duasso's comments/feedback were very good in the podcast w/D$ and if Loy was impressed by his athleticism, I feel a bit better.

Christ on a seatless Bike!

If we let Louis walk out of here….
 
correct me if I'm wrong with Ffrench

First it was Bama, then it was OSU now it's Texas. It seems like it's always someone but us.

Is this kid seriously considering us?

Kid sounds like he should be from SoFla. I think he is a troll and no I don’t think he will end up here.

Decommited from Bama when Saban left but there was always buzz he was going to decommit and go with the semenholes.

He's a huge semenhole fan tho just like his high school QB Tramell Jones.

Theres been rumors that something happened with OSU that turned him off. I believe OSU is turning up their attention to Dakorien Moore. Wonder if OSU just rather go all in for Moore and dropped their NIL offer which maybe ****ed him off but im just assuming.
 
I saw Gilbert posted pics of him in Miami gear at a game vs GA Tech. Maybe we got a family member in his ear

I understand that CMC is a savage on the trail…And that UM has serious momentum building starting last season.

But this all seems just a tad optimistic. Geo, for instance, somehow knows that every kid was caught up in the moment, and "really wants to be a at UM"

You don't think white guys can run a 4.4?
