Pancakes...?

You want the best 5 on the line regardless of position, and imo Francis’s best position in the NFL is probably guard.

Maybe he’s guard in the NFL but in college Francis best position is at RT.

He’s getting paid too much to leave. Won’t make near that on the open market if I had to guess.

took the words right out of my mouth

 

[The U is back to work]

Heard he was leaving. Budget killer… didn’t love his body language on the bench either

I figured he would have been gone a week ago likely to Colorado with his brother

would be a blessing that frees ul big time cap
space

 

[Meast21]

Either needs to earn a starting role (and his NIL) or portal out and free up that $$ for someone else. Waste of funds otherwise. Not trying to be a prick (i know injury is not his fault) but its a business now.

Yet another example of why it (oftentimes) doesn't pay to pony up large NIL deals for 17/18 year old high school kids. I'm curious to see what the data looks like after we have a 5 year sample size.

 

[MrWineAndDine]

Would love for him to beat out Bell at LT. Just doesn’t do it for me

What?

I think this is what they call a write-off.

I think when it comes to OL and NT/DT, you got a chance to sign a 5 star out of high school, you do it. Especially if they have the size and athletic traits that don’t come available too often.

Agree on the large NIL deals for most every other position.

 

[RealRussellPumps]

Wouldn't shock me to see him go back home to BC and play for B.O.B.

 

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

More players will portal out after the bowl game.

 

[grover]

Question for @Rellyrell , does he count as a hit or miss if he transfers out and plays well at another P4 school? Because he'd stay at Miami in the pre-portal era.

 

[Odysseus]

Unreal fans wishing players would leave to clear up cap space. 2024 college ball is just different it's the NFL at this point

 

[caneholic88]

that 23 class looking real meager, giving storm 18 a run for its money on disappointments

If you want them on the first half of their college career, I agree. I don't see too many freshmen and sophomore linemen making big impacts, hence my comments. Although I completely agree with what you're saying. I guess you beter be right if you're gonna pay a kid that kind of money.

Yes; b/c he didn’t see the field here & left.

Smart investment if he develops. A legit third year tackle are hard to find and we probably can’t afford.

Sure. Big if.

 

[CF3]

Got to see him up close at Syracuse. Looked the least physically developed of the linemen… like he doesn’t lift
