Because I don’t know how anyone thinks he would go to guard before replacing the turnstile at RT Brown would be Swing tackle way before Dawkins is just kicked inside

Cordy Glenn Had a longer and better career at tackle Than guard a left tackle who is consistent and doesn’t miss games… Dawkins is absolutely in the top 12…. Is way more valuable than what he could be as a guard He would be at Right tackle well before Guard he isn’t quinton Nelson

Dawkins is going to RT before guard They’re not taking a top 12 left tackle and moving him to guard… not happening

I’ve heard it too But I’ve also heard it in the past… but yes I think a sticky man defense… That occasionally drops into the zone would be ideal we have the athletes

Whitesell needs to be fired

Yes it’s tougher to get top 15 kids because they have 1 and done aspirations… top 10 pick aspirations and NBA scouts hate the zone and wants to see sticky man.. which no SU player puts on film and yes great shooting has made the zone tougher to be great …. But I still go back to the great defensive teams in the past… Always trapping in the short corner… Hands-up, Flying around the court.. I just haven’t seen that tenacity recently

Everything they get is from Pundits… And lots get money from agent to prop players up I remember I had friends in the combine who guaranteed me Cesar Ruiz would be the first interior o lineman taken in the draft And people here said he’s going in the fourth round lol and I said I guarantee he’s the first off the board… guaranteed Because the Scouts on the ground spread the info… And I believe them over pundits with a preconception And guess what… First round , first interior lineman taken and I was called crazy… but pundits are paid to say things… Matt Barkley was the “#1 pick at one point” lol I never had him higher than a fifth round and most scouts were harsher

Hes not quintin Nelson or Zach Martin … not at all He’s better used at left tackle than being a top 10 guard who doesn’t impact the game A top 12 left tackle is invaluable… Especially under 30 hes playing RT before Guard lol

Heart and internal motivation are different Jordan Phillips shows tons of heart on the field .. he doesn’t have internal motivation to be great but he could be great … he doesn’t want to but he plays with tons of passion and heart on the field … plays through injuries … big energy …. but he doesn’t have the internal motivation to be dominate all the time..

Lots of people knew like kuechley would be great lol and you are stretching it now… you could NEVER know who a person is until you spend time with them … there are A LOT of fake people there are fake coaches … you do not know a guy from game film… you see on field passion … which TONS of guys have had and lost You do not know their internal motivations … what makes them angry , happy , sad… tons of players have extreme passion TO GET PAID drafting has ALWAYS BEEN a crapshoot which is why no team drafts consistent all pros or hall of famers regularly If it was that easy teams would draft all pros and hall of famers yearly … it’s hard… especially because you have to wait in a draft

You are comparing in on field motor to somebody’s internal work ethic and want Plenty of players have displayed a high motor only to get paid and never play like that again A persons character means just as much is their talent And you will never be able to find somebody’s character on film.. You could never find somebody’s character and want on film It’s why they do interviews… And you can still lie your way through interviews… It is really hard to find somebody internal goal They are all not built like JJ Watt

The Bengals have had 4 scouts in their organization for 30 years.. just bumped to 8 And have been mocked relentlessly for how little they put into their scouting department Yet they can still draft good players Having vast resources in scouting… Means you can see more games at one time… And Go to smaller one AA or even division 2 schools I have friends at the scouting combine… There’s a general consensus on the top 60 or so players in the draft… talent wise Now what makes it a crapshoot is you can’t measure someone’s heart and want … or how little they want it marcel dareus Could have been a first ballot Hall of Famer… They don’t make 330 pounders like that… But he decided the grind wasnt worth it Compare that that to meatball… Who physically is undersized for the NFL… Late round draft pick… Busted his ass to become a stud because of want Scout still liked meatball enough to draft them him in the fifth round… an honor … But his size and explosive skills Didn’t warrant the top 30 pick the day of the draft In hindsight he was worth a top 20 pick… Scouts will never be able to measure someone’s heart

That’s not true The NFL is all about Fit… Where and who you are drafted by… What scheme and role you play 85% of the league is role players … and role players becomes pro bowlers and stars by being in the right place very few … the elite 10-15% of the league are studs who can play in any system or scheme EVERY player in the NFL oozes talent … they were all studs in HS and college very few can do it anywhere the draft is a crapshoot in that way There’s dozens and dozens and dozens of players that will have long careers from this draft… Top 30 prospects shouldn’t be eligible… because they are supposed to be good But that’s why Scheme and landing spot is everything

I don’t think red is getting rid of the zone buddy… I know it’s been a rough few years… maybe a mix of zone with some man But you know, As well as I know… When you get the five right pieces the zone is dominant We always had long PGs… 6’6 , 6’7 SG… 7’7 wingspan centers … and 6’8 , 6’9 forwards We were always the longest team in the country for years We haven’t been the last five years… The Probation and losing scholarships really hurt the program With getting kids that we were used to We went from perennial top 70 kids… Too Top 200 kids I wouldn’t mind sticky man to man… But if red recruits To what we’re used too I’d see his variant of the zone

Wood was a very good center not even close to average every time he went out the line suffered … he was a top 10 center his entire career and had some bad leg breaks and he could really move

Red has been a very good recruiter and the SU family definitely is a + for recruiting He always in the mix for top basketball players and has a connection at Paul VI , a phenomenal HS pipeline

In Red we trust Don’t underestimate Red

End of an era College basketball will never be the same No Coach K… No Boeheim… No Jay Wright.. No Bobby Knight sad

Buffalo doesn’t get hosed because our economy lol Why even watch sports if that’s what you think ?? We’re basically WWE jobbers then This isn’t a conspiracy to hold buffalo back

Ok then 👍👍

@ArdmoreRyno and yes I do believe that OKst will become the top dog of the new Big 12 they have the system and the coach It might even help their recruiting

Mostly and majority are pretty close synonyms lol If somebody said my team was mostly made up of three star and two star recruits I would expect close to 50% each it’s about 10% 4* … 85% 3%… 5% 2* I’m just saying you’re not a two star program You got more 4 stars the last five years than 2 stars

My buddy and his girl did it this summer they said they tried taking the old route as much as they could

Arch manning isn’t starting this season the mullet kid (Quinn ewers) is a really good pro prospect

😂🤣😂
