OL Takaylen Muex

[westcoastcanes]

Hope the kid balls out and exceeds expectations but the worst part about this is every time we get a commitment from a low ranked OL, we will have to hear “Anez Cooper vibes”.

Did you know that _____________ was a three star? Now he is getting checks on sunday.

100% confidence in our OL scouting

I will be onboard when Trip, Kinsler or Tinalau get into the rotation.

 

[Trav]

I'll always be fine with a physically massive OL take who's a bit under the radar. We've been burnt for years with guys who are like 6'5" 260 lb projects. I'm also apt to trust the Mario/Mirabal duo who've been cranking out dominant OLines for a number of years now. I can't really count the desperation portal takes against them. They are a product of former staff's failures.

Yea we must be saving money with this budget pick up

In reality that is how normally it will play out with all schools fishing money. A big fish, some medium fish and dome bargain fish. Money is finite

I guess today is CIS’ time of the month

Which is weird, b/c by the time Cooper committed to us, he was a composite 3* & was also listed at 6’6 350. Just not sure why there’s a comparison in this case b/c it’s apples & oranges. Hopefully he supersedes his current N/A status. He looks to have the prerequisite size to play C (pause).

We said the same thing about Lamar Williams. OL evals are hit or miss and a bunch of low rated kids end up very good to great but like Lamar this is an uninspiring take.

We just trade two bargain chips

Guess they don’t feel confident with
Solomon Thomas
SJ Alofaituli
Max Buchanan
Laden Stayhorn

Makes sense, we famously only play one lineman at a time.

 

[JSmoot]

2nd highlight is above his current star rating, IMO.

Last Duncan U Fletcher commit was Jeremiah Payton. This one should fare better.

Welcome to the []_[]

 

[The U is back to work]

I'm personally still a fan of the classic recipe: Joaquin Gonzalez chose Miami over Harvard.

It's been a few years since we signed a new "Next Sean Taylor" too now that I think of it.

So did center Nino Francavilla. Remember he flipped from Harvard to Miami last July.

Doubt he’s here this time next year

6'4 340.... Absolutely worth taking a flyer on.... Give the young man a solid year or two in S&C and good things will happen...

JP ain’t take it serious TK will he’s different

 

[LatinCane]

Welcome to The U! Takaylen care of business...every day!!! Have a great Senior year, work hard and stay healthy!!!

 

[HurricanesR1]

I don't mind jumping on this guy early. Now if he has a mediocre senior year and doesn't show the right development, he'll get dropped. But if he starts burying dudes and everyone starts offering, we already established a relationship early, plus have the NIL to compete.

 

[mj33]

When they take a commit this early, it’s because they like the in-person evaluation. Miami is still in the mix for a lot of OL.

But panicking is a lot more fun - apparently.

We said the same about Williams and boom he's dropped said the same about Nino, Juan, and Tripp also
