The Bank (6/8)

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Gabster on Elija Lofton.

“I know we hoped that the Top247 tight end out of Bishop Gorman would shut it down this weekend, but I’m of the understanding that he’s going to follow through with his Texas visit next weekend. There’s less than 10 hours left in his Miami visit with an evening flight back home tonight. As I mentioned on Thursday, Lofton on a different timeline than the rest.”

Not great, Bob.

Not great, Bob.

Riley Williams must be scaring off the good tes

 

[Ghandi]

Not great, Bob.

To be honest here, I couldn’t care less.

I know he’s a big target for the staff, but what the **** is Miami really going to do with a 6’2, 220lb TE?

Thoughts exactly and have stated them before. Great HS player, but limited on this level, likely 6’1 and probably maxed out. JMO

 

[sedlst11]

I think if we’re taking 2 TE it’s a mistake passing on Heinrich

I’d take one and allocate the scholarship elsewhere

Yall tripping he can be a in line blocking TE that can get occasional catches, he's all ready strong as **** too

 

[sedlst11]

I agree with that. Grab Amir Jackson and call it a day.

That’s great.

Let him go do that at the G5 level.

You don’t win with statistical outliers anymore.

 

[supacane]

Its a battle with UF for Amir Jackson, if we can win that one. I would just take KJ Duff as the other TE, just for numbers sake. This guy seem to like Texas and Odom likely going to Bama.

Not disagreeing with his skill set but inline blocking TEs should be relatively easy to find in the Portal.

Couldn't agree more. We don't need another Larry Hodges or Brantley (although I loved Brantley he was all Cane and don't think he got enough opportunities). We're recruiting some freaks across the board and this one never made any sense to me from the beginning.

Can’t just concede Odom to Bama, kid is a monster.

 

[WestGA'Cane]

6'2 220 imo projects to a H-back type. Could split out as a WR too, especially if possessing + speed. If he doesn't grow, depending on arm length it's hard to envision an in-line TE, but still could give OC options to diversify looks.

Ghandi in here on page 8 like...

Just figured we need someone to do the dirty work at TE while we have guys like Skinner & Riley flexed out wide. We don't have Brantley anymore

Well you do have a point there

 

[JHallCanes]

Oh man Mobile been wild but since Katrina it's gotten worse. Drug dealing has made it where people killing folks grandparents, its crazy all over Alabama

Yeah Birmingham and Mobile routinely make “top 5 most dangerous cities” lists

I feel like those types are easy to get for blocking. We just got one that's been in college 10 years almost. It's the athletes that we need to keep stock piled, which is why it would hurt if we lost Odom.

I knew a big time player, now coach, that grew up in the hood there way b4 Katrina. His stories of his childhood literally have made many grown men cry. Agree, it might be worse now, but where he's from, it's been rough for a while.
