He certainly has the head of an offensive lineman. Dude has a large mug

Depth guy

 

[L A M P]

Apparently was considering UGA and Ohio St. as well

Good enough to hold an offer from OSU, UGA & Miami. That's 3 schools who are recruiting at Top 5 level. Obviously a huge pickup. Much needed. Does he have a DT teammate? Lol

Really great news.

Grad transfer after 3 years of college....impressive

im not trying to trash the kid, but most CFB players can graduate in 3 years. especially if they enroll early.
120 credits to graduate


summer before freshman year 6-12 credits depending on whether they enroll before summer A or B
15 credits per semester x6 for 90 credits
12 credits summer between freshman and sophomore
12 credits summer between sophomore and junior year.

that gets you to 120+ credits after 3 years.

You forgetting the part when you have the full time job as a football player, not to mention other obligations

This. Not many football players do this, which is the impressive thing. There's always a negative **** that comes along.

here is where you are wrong. what I posted is the standard plan for most CFB players.

Standard plan and it actually happening are two different things.

There are not many 3-year graduates (even if they EE) throughout all of CFB.

If you feel different, start naming them.

 

[TurnoverChain]

We need more grad transfers. I'm tired of having no depth

 

[eurocane]

Coaches are bringing him in, I trust their judgment. WELCOME!

that gets you to 120+ credits after 3 years without being an EE.

this is the standard plan for most CFB players. you have some kids who need more help to keep up who only take 12 credits per semester but most kids have done enough to graduate by their 3rd year. that's why berrios was taking 2 classes per semester his senior year because he had already done more than enough to graduate but needed to be taking 6 credits to stay eligible to play.

That must be why so many early entries to the draft have degrees. General population in college today doesn’t graduate in three years, or four for that matter, so let’s not dismiss this as something as easy as running the numbers on credits. I received my Doctorate six years out of high school. No problem in theory, even working 40 hrs a week like I did, but gets a little hard in real world where eating and sleeping want some time. Wish any of mine had done it three years. I could take that extra money to the casino.

you are forgetting one key variable. that last semester. the kids who leave for the draft drop out after the fall semester of their junior year to focus on the draft. so they are usually 10-15 credits short of a degree. I'm not just running numbers of what I think happens with these kids. I am literally going by what UM did with its football players when I was working for the program. the one thing I messed up on is that often players will only take 12 credits during football season.

but now we are way off topic and thats my fault. main point of this thread is that its great we got a OL with 2 years of eligibility left

Jesus Christ, you like arguing just to argue.

Name me 3-year graduates in the country. You've completely derailed this thread where it was a simple compliment of him getting a degree after 3 years.

 

[JgDaCane]

The consensus is that they think he was going to be pretty good. Good get for us.

Thanks for sharing, not often do fans speak highly of a kid who left their program. If any other insight is posted on their board about him please share.

sounds legit, it happens all the time
(no it ******* doesn’t)

 

[CaneFanWNY]

Even if it is just a depth guy. Give me this dude over Hayden Mahoney and that dude AQM bull rushed the soul out of

 

[DB4]

I'm excited at the ceiling for the offense in the 2018 season. On paper, a lot of depth and talent at every position on that side of the ball.

Hayden Mahoney is the key to our NC run next season.

He is going to anchor the DL. The next Ryan Fines.

 

[Morrisey]

Of course most athletes wouldn't trade their experience for anything, but what does this have to do with your argument about D1 athletes only spending 20 hours a week on their sport? You're way off base here Morrisey.

Because someone tried to claim that it's a full-time job (despite only listing what amounts to part-time hours) and has "other obligations" as well.

The strains on these players are vastly overrated by the couch potatoes of the world.

It's 20 hours a week. That's a part


lol @ 20 hrs a week. You believe that?

You must be extremely naive to think its not strenuous, other obligations include life's general bs

Mahoney imo was beter than Gaynor last year
