The same people complaining about this addition are the same people who complain that Mario cant get a C unless its in the portal and how that is a huge concern. We hit on our #1 C prospect back to back years after losing Connor Lew and you guys are complaining? Smh. This prevents us from having to waste a portal addition on this position for the 4th year in a row after this year because SJ should be ready to take over in 2026.. And JJ after that.
I say again..Pepe and Cantwell will take up 90% of the OLine NIL budget. We need to spread the money around. We dont have a Oregon/Texas level unlimited budget. Guys like JJ and Ervin are great development pieces that will be ready in 2-3 years to contribute. Thats what you call building depth and keeping our OL a strength for the long term.
