Ready to see him take reps against Mesidor, Kelly, and Harvey.

He is washing all of these kids though in a drill not set up for him to succeed. Very good sign.

I was gonna say the same thing. We see a lot of really good OL get worked in these types of drills

Kid is clearly crazy talented but good to see it translating against legit comp

The strength vs a bullrush is nice, but not surprising, but that lateral quickness and balance at his size is just beautiful to watch.

Agreed…. Some of the Best feet and balance I’ve seen in a OL I’ve seen in a while. Especially as a HS OLman.

The wrestling culture in Miami was, at one point, partly comprised of old, immigrant Cuban dudes who were former competitive wrestlers. At one point when I was in HS, a few schools, including Pace and my HS, had strong programs that would do really well at states. Wrestling dudes are sick *****, btw, and I mean that with a lot of respect, as I never formally wrestled. Just messing around and taking informal tips from the wrestling coaches helped me in my varsity sports (football and basketball). Absolutely love their mindsets. The "lock yourself in a car trunk while covered in a garbage bag" mentality is helpful in all facets of life. Hard pass on the "ringworm" culture, though. All due respect.

In the 60’s and into the 70’s, McArthur was legendary in wrestling. Coach John Lazotte won 10-11 straight state titles. He was a science teacher. He started recruiting me in 8th grade as I was whipping any opponent in PE.

When I started 9th grade, I **** sure wasn’t taking a science class but he had my schedule changed so I’d be in his class and he could remind me daily to come wrestle for him. I just wasn’t interested but he persisted and kept changing my schedule right through my senior year.

When I start seeing where J dills and Premier got their samples from it just adds to the genius imo.
Another surprising dj that gets his samples from deep in the music archives is DJ Muggs from Cypress Hill.
Those 3 Dudes act like their listening to music in a different frequency than everyone else.

Pete Rock, Alchemist, Kanye, Lord Finesse, etc...sample kings.

Just stonewalled him and then flipped to the side like a rag doll. Samson is going to be starting somewhere on the OL by mid-season, if not before then. Can’t wait to see the OL with he and Francis - both are extremely physical, big, and powerful OL that if we can continue bringing in future OL classes with them, will cement the foundation of our rise back to prominence in college football.

Samson getting in the program and getting to 6’5 315 by the season with some added strength means to me he will be playing a ton.

Francis and Samson have a legit chance to be unreal players here. I still wish Lew would have stayed because that’s. LT C RT combo that could win a ton of games

We get Lee and we will be fine for now. He’s got 2 years. That will be a nice stop gap until we can find a center in 2024 class. But I agree, for Lew to not have wanted to join an OL class of Samson, Mauigua, and Kinsler he probably was doing it for his pops and he really didn’t want to be here like that.

Always thought Havok crushed the sampling on The Infamous. The atmosphere to match the lyrical content was spot on.

I think that joints like that epitomize what hip hop can be.
Amazing that the radio has watered down the art.

Wiltfong: Putting a bow on the All-American Bowl

UCLA QB Dante Moore stole the show, Miami's foundation is coming together, Oklahoma's defense is on the rise, Ohio State recruits to its standard, Alabama and Georgia have elite players coming. All that and more.
247sports.com 247sports.com
The 6-foot-5, 305-pound Okunlola is one of the jewels of a Miami class that ranks No. 4 nationally, the highest-rated Hurricanes class in 247Sports history dating back to 2010. He was one of the most consistent, if not thee most consistent, performer at his position during the week of practice. Okunlola was a steady force at the point of attack, quick-twitched with good feet, a strong run blocker who seems to always have good leverage, Okunlola looked like a day one starter for Cristobal and company and a very important foundational piece for the trajectory of the program.

“Our class can really propel what Miami is going to mean in the coming years,” Okunlola said. “What we do for the next one to two, two to three years, will paint what Miami is in the coming years.”

@Rellyrell ....It's even crazier if they'd go back to EPMD circa 86-92 and see how much stuff was stolen from them.

As an Ice T fan (AND a Jay-Z fan), this one always bothers me:





Figure THIS out:

Add some new lyrics and a Billy Squier drum sample:
