I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but I think it’s naive to think the 85 roster spots don’t matter. Every single year, at the end of the recruiting cycle, we are all @ing
@TheOriginalCane to get clarification on how many roster spots we have left.
If this is a waisted scholly for Mario’s Nephew, than that is one less spot that can be used at that time. I don’t want to be in a spot where we don’t have enough room to bring in a prospect that we like because we gave a nepo-scholly.
Also, I’m not buying the “he can come in and compete for our back up C spot.” Because we just brought in two OL transfers that followed our coaches from Oregon, and all reports out of spring say our backups look like walkons.
