Yeah. this!!
Yeah. this!!
This. Francis was great for a freshman last year but he was our weakest lineman. Rivers was a better LT than Francis was at RT. I’m sure now that he’s got some more experience, he’ll be much better but just going off what we’ve seen from last year, Rivers is a better player right now.If we’re moving anyone to LG it needs to be Francis. Rivers can hold down LT and let Samson, McCoy, Bell, etc battle out for RT
Rivers is the best LT on THIS **** roster. His future in the NFL may be inside.Bro what are you talking about? That isn’t why we think Rivers will eventually get moved inside. First off, Samson potential is significantly higher than Rivers. When he gets to 100%, he’ll start to take Rivers snaps and push him out. Also, scouts believe Rivers best chance at the NFL is at guard. So a shift over to guard down the road isn’t that crazy. You guys are the same people that crucified our coaches cause scouts have said that Williams will be better at LB. Same scenario here
We’ve had TWO DCS say James was a LB..he just ain’t know it yet lol..but for Miami he was **** well a SS..and as u said it’s what he wanted to playExcept Williams wanted to play safety.
Any news on Fletcher?Spring practice is two weeks away, but Miami is hard at work with the 2024 team and the Class of 2025. I posted some news on recruiting here. Some quick hitters on off-season workouts for the weekend:
- The staff doesn't think there are any lemons in the class athletically, based on early returns. Here are several names that they can't wait to see in pads: Cole McConathy, Cam Pruitt, Marquise Lightfoot, Zaquan Patterson, JoJo Trader and Ny Carr. I'm told Trader and Carr are already two of the top athletes at WR. Elija Lofton is also a guy who is turning heads with his football instincts, weight-room exploits and mentality. "He's an animal."
- Elijah Arroyo is already developing chemistry with Cam Ward. NFL prospect if he stays healthy. Ward is what everybody expected so far.
- There are going to be a lot of new faces competing at running back. Chris Johnson, Jr. is going to have a huge opportunity this spring due to injuries. Everybody is excited to see what he can do. "We need to get the ball in his hands." There are also high expectations for Jordan Lyle to compete immediately when he arrives this summer. Chris Wheatley-Humphrey has people believing he will be a good player in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if we add a portal kid here.
- DT transfers CJ Clark and Marley Cook are impressing with their work ethics. They put in extra time and compete with motors.
- There have been some questions on Chase Smith. I'm told he is full go.
- C Nino Francavilla is fitting in physically. I’m told he is one of our stronger players in the weight room and is moving around well. Looking forward to seeing him play football.
Samson and Bells ceiling is significantly higher lol. If those guys have productive springs/summers, Rivers will likely get moved inside lol. I guarantee you Rivers gets reps at guard this springRivers is the best LT on THIS **** roster. His future in the NFL may be inside.
I'm pretty sure ever since Mario has been here he's gotten reps at G and C in the spring. I hope you're right and Samson or Bell end up being better at Lt then Rivers and force him inside. I know you have said potential and ceiling quite a bit in this thread the same can be said about Bobby Washington, prob has the most potential out of any LB on our team but if he is the best or second best LB on the team is another ?.Samson and Bells ceiling is significantly higher lol. If those guys have productive springs/summers, Rivers will likely get moved inside lol. I guarantee you Rivers gets reps at guard this spring
I've always felt my preferred position was **** star, but the world felt I was better served as an accountant. Fortunately, I've been training for both in case the opportunity arises.We’ve had TWO DCS say James was a LB..he just ain’t know it yet lol..but for Miami he was **** well a SS..and as u said it’s what he wanted to play
*ahem*Except Williams wanted to play safety.
Well he exceeded it but still wasn’t enoughJust please keep Cam Ward healthy and hope he does in year 5 the same as he did for the 1450 days prior - 65% passer with 3500 yards and 30 or so TDs - cut the fumbles down and we are cooking with ️
“win and they will come” was always a lieif Miami starts winning big, added with Mario's recruiting abilities, you'll see Bama/UGA esk type recruiting!
