The Bank (4/16)

[grover]

So much animosity for the 85th spot on a bad roster.

I don’t want him here either, but the amount of kilobytes wasted is truly awe inspiring.

This is a 7-5 to 8-4 roster at best. Who cares?

Because it flies in the face of Mario's messaging of building a team of champions. It's nepotism -- i.e., the antonym of meritocracy.

He probably wants to bring him in to give a better look for the first reamers on scout team.

How's Leonard Taylor et al. Supposed to get better if he's up against Rodriguez all the time and the guy can make the right line calls either. At least he'll assumingly do the latter. I think that's the main purpose of depth anyway.

 

[GladeCane]

It’s nepotism. If his last name wasn’t Cristobal, the staff wouldn’t even open up a video with his name on it

Did you watch video on Lou? If you did, you would not have made the comment you did. He's actually pretty good.

@252cane if by chance they land Trader, I’d agree to crowning Beard as to recruiting with Chance in the class. I don’t see it but hopefully I’m wrong. We’ll see.

Lol I didn’t go that far and say crown him but I believe he will bring in a good class and I do think we get trader

You need a more gif-friendly avatar.

I’ll let Mirabal know, thanks

So he‘s immune to mistakes or never makes bad evals? I guess all the chatter about the Oregon transfer guys not doing well enough to keep us out of the portal is just that, chatter.

 

[252cane]

Didn't we just sign the #1 rated OL class?

No I believe that was bama

 

[RVACane]

It’s pretty close. I think we did better in the top 20 but they pulled a couple more from 20-35

 

[Bender]

Stupid is as stupid does sir.

Such a statement after what I've read from you and others about a player who hasn't even committed here, let alone gotten an offer, just because he is Cristobals nephew, is the biggest piece of irony I will have this year.

Edit: Just saw the name change. Good grief, I should have known...

 

[Bender]

This kid being the only OL Mario has brought in since he has been here clearly shows he is not bringing quality OL talent.

He said they wanted bigger OL and all he has gotten is one 6' guy.

 

[FromDeeeeep]

The difference is those teams are actually good with playoff caliber depth, but as long as y’all are cool continuing to add bad players to an already bad roster, I will be too.

A lot of programs do it. I only mentioned those 2 because how often they were discussed in the news.

If I had the time and was bored to death I probably could easily find multiple examples at smaller programs.

[L A M P]

D$ giving you boys gold and 90% of the posts are about Cristobol’s nephew. Wtf

Including yours.. and the other 100 post just like this. One side hates it. One side said it’s no big deal. Both sides are talking about it. How is one more guilty than the other? D$ has pushed this thing. Blame him. Lol

 

[Themadcane]

When the offer to replace Manny went out and it said Mario we will give you 80 million. If Mario came back and said ok you got a deal but I need to use 1 roster spot for 4 years for my nephew- who shouldn’t really have one but I am all about family. If that news came out nobody who wanted Mario (me included) would’ve cared at all. I would have said take 2 and give one to your neighbors special needs daughter too. Probably won’t play here. But I don’t care either way. I can’t name 65 players on the team. This just gives me one more I know.

They got 4 of the top 20 with #1, 8, 14, and 16th ranked tackles

Not according to the 247 list. Maybe the composite with On3 and ESPN??? I ignore that because On3 is crap.

This is what 247 has.

I use composite

 

[E1k]

We are trending for an elite South Florida WR and a top OOS TE.

But Nepotism man. And let’s be real, we’d all give our nephew a spot if we were Mario.

My nephew would be starting lol

 

[RVACane]

I use composite

Even in the composite, we’re better in the top 20, but they beat us with what they add after that - as I said

You talking by position right? In the composite they have 4 in the top 20 and we have 2 even tho those 2 are 5 stars
