Washington starting LG Nate Kalepo commits to ole miss

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

If we get this kid and and Bell can play LT, the OL will avg 6-5+ 335

If we get this kid, Bell won't be starting. Rivers will be at LT.

 

[MasterBlaster]

This is a better evaluation.

I would take this guy all day long, his film isn't bad. When comparing him to Bell, he clearly moves better and looks like he belongs on a very good Wash OL.

LT Rivers / Okunola / McCoy
LG Kalepo / Kinsler
C Carpenter / Rodriguez
RG Cooper / Kinsler
RT Mauigoa / McCoy / Bell

No, but it does expressly tell you how many games he started in each season.

Mario is competent at roster construction & a good recruiter. If we need one, he’ll get one. Plenty of veteran WR would jump at the chance to play with Cam & chemistry should be easy to develop. JMO

That depends on how much Cam likes to golf….

 

[JHallCanes]

It’s just one play.

He played poorly against Michigan which was preceded by a rough game against Texas.

I’m not saying he sucks, but some people on here are worried about him pushing out Kinsler and McCoy.

What in trying to say is that they’re in the same ballpark skill-wise and physically.

Kinsler and McCoy more tackles or nah? Mirabal talks enough about having the best 5 on the field so I’m sure these guys are all being cross trained in some way

Either way yeah, I’m still very intrigued at Mauigoa taking Cohens spot but he could also be a first round tackle down the road so having these options is refreshing as ****

 

[KANE]

Hmm. With visits low you'd think wr/cb would be getting them. But having a drop in replacement for Cohen would be huge.

There are ways around the “official visit” rule.

 

[Ispyin]

Personally, I don't like this take. But hard to disagree with Mario/Mirabel on OL.

Yeah, for sure I was thinking about listening to you over them with him on this one, but I changed my mind

Im sure the staff still loves McCoy, Samson, and Kinsler. But they know we need to win big (10 games) now in 2024.

OL is a developmental/mature position. Samson is coming off an injury and still would only be a 2nd year guy. McCoy looks good but prob needs more polish. He’s def 6th OL. And Kinsler didn’t even get snaps this year so I’m sure he’s at least another year away from Starting consistently

Better to bring in a proven starter in Kalepo to fill out the starting 5 for 2024. Then going into 2025 a more mature and developed Samson, McCoy and Kinsler are replacing Rivers & Kalepo

I dunno why our fans ever bring up things about numbers

Roster spots, official visits, gives us something to talk about I guess but ultimately nonsense

 

[franchiseboi]

A little odd to say this about a 6th year kid, but I feel like he could use some reshaping of his body in the weight room. Could unlock a higher level of play

Facts. The numbers will work themselves out! Always.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Id like him to come and push whoever your favorite OL is out of the rotation.

Forgot about that. Sorry 6-5 330 avg

Surprised we’re not sliding rivers to guard.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see either okunola or McCoy hit the portal if we bring this guy in with this day and age

 

[aelmiami]

I’ve been saying for years players , coaches , scouts and GM’s laugh at PFF. It’s pure garbage. The only people who pay attention to it are the nerds that made it and fans. Nobody else. It means nothing and tells nothing. Go watch film.

You can literally find whatever stat that will fit your narrative on that site. It’s a joke.

JK - good to know!

Colorado does have Samson’s brother, would think he’d be a prime transfer candidate if he doesn’t get more burn this year
