I fell out of my seat in the theater the first time I saw it. It was so fkn funny. There were rumors years ago they were going to make a sequel where the whole premise was the first one was actually them filming a movie the whole time and now this is happening for real this time which would be hysterical

Seems like the other 2 names being mentioned the last week are Garner and Hartley. If we bring those 2 in…

I have trouble seeing Hartley leaving, but that UGA release that didn’t mention him getting a raise makes me think maybe something is up there. We’ll see.

The amount of not only coaching know how and recruiting but leadership. You would be well served to have any of these men as mentors.

I loved his recruitment, actually. He picked Miami when many others didn't and trolled UF. What's not to love?

I just think, objectively from a roster perspective, he plateaued here and that, in 2022, JHH will make a leap and would have gotten more reps. Same for Taylor, and the portal guy(s). I might be wrong, but I don't think that's an outlandish opinion. Does anyone really think Nesta was going to be much better in 2022 than in 2021? Maybe a little, but I think he's pretty maxed.

As far as "expectations" go, everyone had very high ones for him. He was a high 4-star kid who was the 54th best recruit in American with a .9730 rating. That projects to an P5 First Team All-Conference player pushing for All-American status and a mid-second round pick in the NFL Draft. Not every athlete matches their hype, but do we think he's anywhere near his projection? He obviously got a crap grade from the NFL or he'd be training for the draft right now.

You know me man, I really believe in market principles, Occam's Razor and all, and the fact that he landed at ASU says a lot to me. Herm Edwards is 25-18 at ASU and on the hot seat. They were 8-5 last year after a .500 abbreviated covid season. They were busted by the NCAA, had to push out coaches/ had more resign under duress, and just signed the 103rd best recruiting class in the country (they had a worse class than FIU, GSU, WMU, UNLV, New Mexico, and Ball St.) and the very worst class in the Pac-12. That program is a mess.

Was that really his best option? If it was, the market is speaking.

I'm very glad he picked UM, I wish he had stayed, but it is what it is. We lost a 2022 depth piece IMO. Not sure why people seem to think that's an aggressive or "sour grapes" opinion. No hate. Our roster is getting better, that's all. He will always be a Cane in my eyes, and I hope he feels that way about himself and the program as well.

I seen this same type of post when Quarterman and Pinkney left. MFERS were saying they couldnt wait for Bradley Jennings to hit the field because he was "faster".
Again..I like JHH from his recruitment to his potential. But i dont know what you have watched to say he is better at dt...in fact he is a liability against the run because he cant anchor for sh*t and gets washed out in the run game fairly easy. Now he can rush the passer likely better than Nesta due to athleticism.

When it comes to Taylor. Its almost the same thing...except Leonard has a really nice swim move ( he almost uses it too much). When he is on he is a problem with his quick hands and swim move. But again like young guys their motor runs hot n cold and he has to learn how to take on blocks.
Both guys are guys that need to be paired with a big 1 tech or something...and we only have 1 in Jordan Miller. You play them together and u likely get gashed in the run game and your lbs are getting killed like its Manny all over again.


* In what world would Nesta be expected to end up a 2nd round pick though. He had the nice 4 star rating coming out..but when you just be realistic and look at his dimensions that alone should have tempered expectations. He is like 6'0 1/2- 290 or whatever...those guys arent being drafted supremely high unless they are a freakshow like Aaron Donald...and Nesta never had that body type.
*I think he likely got osld on being coached by a formen nfl coach with connections and playing in a soft conference in the pac 12 hence the Arizona State transfer. Im going to watch this szn closely to see how he performs out west.

I say this even saying i have a bias for him somewhat since knowing him as a sophomore in high school.
Im hoping he can play his way in to a mid rounder and finally add some sacks to his game....because he has shown a really good motor last szn..and wrecks some interior guys with his strength...just arms are short and when he locks on doesnt engage off as well as you hope.

I dont think our DT roster has gotten better though with losing him. The guys you guys are waiting on or hyping played a good amount last year and didnt flash whatsoever other than Leonard Taylor.
