@DMoney reaction and the comment underneath is ******* gold lmao

We also have Carver but he's never seen the field. He's listed at 6'6" 220, so who knows if he gained some weight or has show anything in practice?

He got into some games late this year

Love the excuses…lol

HC has lost his #1 WR and #1 TE returning starters to the portal. Something smells in the Gables.

Wassup Columbus Mafia???

Don’t worry the spin is already in. “But we have cornerbacks visiting!” The losses are definitely worse than the additions right now. Need to be adding starters and depth not losing it.

He’s a good player you’d like to see graduate from UM but it is what it is at this point. I trust Mario to have the roster ready to compete.

 

[skeeter]

#1’s at respective positions..don’t think so..if so, show me…happy to eat crow.

I don't need to show you…Log on to any list of portal players.

This is pay for play. Either you have the or you don’t to keep players and team continuity.

Horton and Williams been in the program. Solid, developing. Starters next season. And you lose them. Why?

Recruiting HS players, the STARS, and everyone getting panties in the wads over rankings is irrelevant!! LOL…those days are over. It’s mercenary. And I don’t know if Mario is built for this *****! Doesn’t have the reactionary quick ability to keep top players home or bring in..has to take his time to evaluate.

Takes a mix of both…He fielded a very good team last season. I'll reserve judgement til ya know…Next season

Game has changed rapidly.

Hope I’m wrong about Mario and his Columbus Mafia..so far I’m right.

No you're really not right.

You are going to lose players that's the game today…Probably 2-3 every offseason that you didn't want to…Another couple that you kinda liked…Then about 5-10 that were leaving because they weren't getting PT.

Is portal season over?

 

[franchiseboi]

Gonna say something that is probably controversial. He was closer to being a JAG than a difference maker. I thought he was very stiff and lacked dynamism

 

[Cane&Abel]

He has the type of talent … you DONT overpay for ! He ok but that’s all.

 

[The Sphinx]

I really hate to lose this kid, but I’m not backing up the Brinks truck to keep him either.

Oh well.

Exactly… I want Riley Williams on this team too…The problem is many teams do and they are willing to pay more because they don't have Elijah Lofton. (Or they may have more money than us to begin with)

Simple stuff here.

 

[drewm3i]

We will be lucky to be 5-7 next year at this rate.

lofton is good but hes small.

OK gotcha but he's a beast.

he scored in the spring game.

 

[gogeta4]

Class didnt really seem that exciting to me this year I barely seen any of them unless I caught games in person like the slot kid from AH, someone mentioned some kid from indiana I see he 6'3 215.. Might be awhile before he see the field as a TE and he not replacing Williams as inline blocker..

Im not putting a second into watching indiana highlights unless kid is superstar 5 star type.. Kid might transfer before he even hit the field, no reason to waste a second of my time watching high school highlights anymore. Especially a class full of 3 star types

the kid u dont want to watch is probably the best athlete in this class. lol

I hope we see him step up. Kid is a **** of an athlete might be better suited at DE depending on how the S&C is coming along

Losing players who barely contributed will kill the team , Ill miss Johnson 15 yard ko returns.

 

[gogeta4]

Strongly disagree...

the big play alot of folks rememeber him for......the reason he got the pitch from cam ward is because he was getting up off of the floor from whiffing.

His first year he was whiffing all over the **** place as well.
I promise u u dont focus on the line more than i do during the game....if he was a really good blocker they would of told cam mccormick to kick rocks. He gets blown up a good bit in the run game.

i MEAN **** MAN HIS OWN GRANDFATHER IS TELLING U DUDE DOESNT SEE HIMSELF AS A STRAIGHT UP INLINBE BLOCKING TE THOUGH HE IS 6'5 255+. This was said even back in his hs recruiting. He was a finesse guy and sees himself more as a flex te. He developed his blocking somewhat here.

Seems like everyone is bailing this sinking ship. Many on here said just win and the recruit will come. We won 10 games for the 1st time since 2017 and only the 2nd time in 20+ years, but people are seeing Mario for what he really is

I agree with some of this. Shouldn’t have been this difficult to recruit this year with the season we had and our rivals had. And in the portal we again went slow as **** and allowed the only elite portal QB to go to a fledgling OU program. I guess in theory if we land a Ewers we can say 10 wins will be possible but this is an 8 win team.
