John Turntine III note

Was just told the freshman offensive lineman is up 30 pounds from senior season at North Crowley.

Hovering around 295-298 right now.

Has really come on second half of spring too.

He’s repped at 2nd RT a lot. Hes even taken reps at guard and center (due to injuries).

Reports are very positive out of Austin.

Thanks for the update.  I hope he is our starting LT in 2027.  Any word on why the coaches are playing Newman (who I also like a lot) at 2nd team LT while Turntine is at 2nd team RT?  If for some reason the coaches want to move him inside, I think he would be a terrific C with his skill set and intelligence (although it would not fully utilize his elite agility like playing T would).  

Great Centers are very agile!!

He was always going to play at 305-310.

People were freaked out for zero reason

I like the seemingly new approach.  Instead of getting an already large human, it seems like the staff is looking for large athletes and letting Becton add the size.  The staff seems to be hitting a high percentage on evals.

Freaked out for no reason. Common occurrence in our fan base.

In other words, Gerry just filling us in that he was right haha

I think there was a reason: those people either didn't engage their brains or didn't have the brains to engage.

But what if he loses weight during the summer to look good on the beach?

I think “athlete” is key word.  If they are already huge but athletic awesome, if not build an athlete.  Don’t get big humans that are unathletic.  What good is a wall if you can just run around it or dip under it with not resistance!

Good stuff, Gerry!

 

Stash him away and let him keep developing. We should be far and away from the days of having to go the kelvin banks route with the portal and sarks roster building over the past six years.

Oh you mean before he hit a real strength and conditioning program lol

Might have Siani move to LT next year and have RG and RT between Turntine and Baker.

He is a senior this year i believe.

So you are saying that Turntine is starting at Guard or Center to start the season? Interesting.

So we are just going to line up a bunch of TE on the oline and hope for the best? I know yall say positionless football but this is ridiculous

Correct - Siani is a redshirt junior this year.

If he has a good year, he might go to the NFL next year.
