The Bank (9/13)

[DMoney]

d$, I saw SJ play last week vs #1 Mater Dei. Thoughts:

*he’s a co-captain on a large and experienced OLine. He played RG next to a top RT who is committed to Tennessee.

*he’s stout with no excess weight.

*listed at 6’3”, 295, he looks a bit shorter than that.

*plays low with great leverage. Aggressive and very sound in his technique. Totally in control with a professional demeanor on every play. A leader.

*only concern is his height. Perhaps a center?

*biggest surprise? Mater Dei dominated the game in all phases. More physical with better skill players. The Gorman team lacks the explosive WRs from recent years, eg Zachariah Branch at USC and Rome Odunze now of the Bears

Thank you!

As a center prospect (which is where he fits best), what kind of upside does he have? His testing numbers are off the charts in terms of speed and quickness.

Added a short note on TJ Alford.

This is the one, elite physical ability as a 2nd level guy. Glad we are back in the mix here.

 

[grover]

So much momentum. Miami Football is steamrolling opponents on the field, in recruiting and in the classroom. The only thing that could slow this train down is a misstep at 2025 QB. Gotta be back channeling now that people can see what Miami can do with a legit QB behind that Great Wall of Mirabal.

Clearly it’s the OL that is about to get shuffled.

 

[Jassid82]

Outside of the OL recruits and maybe Newton..we don’t have much dead weight. Unless I’m missing someone. I took at look at the class and was having a hard time finding anyone we would push out.

Didn’t the scholly limit go way up?

 

[IbzRlz]

Do they like Carroll more than Solomon Thomas? I know there was chatter they would continue to push for Thomas earlier this year but seems quiet there.

That could be by design. Mario is like a ninja...stealth mode

 

[Odysseus]

This o-line class about to be insane

This o-line class about to be insane

I hope so. It definitely needs to improve from what we currently have.

I’m just co-signing whats being said by people that there will be guys who might fall off in this class. It’s not many to choose from. This is a **** good class

Yea too many products but Buchanan & SJ are the real deal. Add this monster that's visiting this weekend and we'll be in business

I said year one he starts that’s how good he is imo

@D$, who are you expecting to get dropped?

He looks closer to 6 Ft then 6 Ft 3

 

[Jaxson Villain]

Are we still recruiting Cameron Sparks?

Also, Winston Watkins is uncommitted….

 

[skeeter]

Isn't it up til 105 schoolies next year? I'm sure it's a possibility, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if no one got dropped? Maybe Wilkerson or Campbell?

 

[Ibis4]

Joshua Moore flip watch

This may be an unpopular take but I watched him live this year and I left unimpressed versus an inferior team. Great frame/size (pause), but I didn’t see explosion, quickness, or anything other than his frame that stood out. To his defense, he doesn’t have a talented QB throwing him the ball. In Miami fashion, i arrived near the end of the 1st quarter, so I preference this by saying that I didn’t see him catch a single pass. They tried forcing a few jump balls to him, but all were incomplete. I didn’t see UM caliber. Small sample size, but I left unimpressed.

Cane in the end. Always swiping from OSU late

 

[Odysseus]

I got him starting at center next year too, his film is wild

D$ in his last 2 Banks has been preparing us that there will be multiple shakeups to the class & that some players are rising/falling based on Senior film evaluations.

Translation: There will be drops/decommits
