How high could Lee’s stk realistically grow from here? Already fighting an uphill battle being a C to go early. Maybe he could sneak into day two territory, but I would get taking your chances and leaving now in case of an injury.
 
If Rivers and Lee return and Okunlola steps up…oh boy.

Unfortunately I don’t see how we don’t lose a couple depth pieces like a McCoy or Kinsler by spring if that is the case. But oh well. This would be excellent for us

Or he has a good NIL deal and he is making more money staying in college than going pro.

Kinsler is a freshmen why would he leave?
 
After Rodriguez's struggles with snapping against BC and having to take multiple timeouts just to get Lee back on the field, I'd imagine Mario doesn't trust him much at this point.


Good lord, it was 2 snaps coming in cold. I'm sure that Rodriguez can improve with practice and reps.
 
Getting Rivers and Lee back would be huge.
Getting Samson, McCoy and Kinsler to stay after that should be objective immediately following.

Those two things happen, our line will be great for the next 3 years easy. And just stack pieces after that.

Are you trying to say no freshman/sophomore leave? I didn’t say they would enter the portal immediately. But what if we get through spring and Bell and McCoy are above him?

plus If Okunlola and Mauigoa are the starting OTs they’ll have that spot secured at least 2 years.

Just saying It’s not difficult to see a couple depth pieces leave. And that’s on top of Denis and Sagapolu who I expect to transfer out

Ok he still is only going to be a freshmen so why leave. He will likely be in the 2 deep
 
Lee, Cooper, Mauigoa, and Rivers are a great foundation. McCoy, Samson, Kinsley, Tripp, Rod, +4-5 2024 kids make that a top 5 OL room.

Jalen Rivers - going through his decision making process now but solid chance he’s back for another. Has an opportunity to get his Masters degree. Scouts think he’s playing out of position as a tackle — will play guard at the next level. 6th-7th round grade right now, could help himself coming back and working on his “stiffness” as was put to me


Matt Lee - Late/PFA grade right now and Miami pushing hard to get him back. Trusts Mario/Mirabal obviously. Getting him back would be absolutely massive
Getting 4 of 5 starting OL back from this year's unit would be huge. With McCoy, Okunlola and Bell rotating in. Very nice group returning if this happens!
 
True. I forgot about that element. Getting paid and guaranteed roster spot would be more enticing than the risk of UDFA and all that comes with that.
It's a different game now than it was even 5 years ago. Those solid starters yet borderline NFL guys have a lot more reason to stick around if you can get them a good NIL deal.
