He was good with the ability to be very good. He graded out at a 77 per PFF

There hasn’t been any elite talent in the portal at OL. The two Michigan guys were very good. This is the first elite OL in the portal. Texas is definitely a premier spot but so are multiple other places. Oregon is elite. Ohio State is elite etc etc

Are we sure Baker would be good at guard? I’m not convinced. If I’m Baker and we land Seaton I would look at the portal. That’s another consideration. I would still do it but that is just a scenario to consider.

Sounds like Michigan

Agreed

I think Flood has always been a good developer. Some of his recruiting issues were masked at Alabama with Saban. I wouldn’t mind a staff member whose focus is helping Flood and is an elite recruiter.

I understand what you’re saying. It was a down year for the OL last year after being one of the best lines in the nation the year before and a finalist for the Joe Moore award. The line got better as the year progressed. I think the biggest thing coloring everyone’s perception of Flood is several high profile misses in recruiting. My point in my previous post was that if you want a high level starter in the portal they just aren’t there currently. That’s not to say someone new can’t enter. Honestly what I really need is Texas to do some high level tampering and get someone new to jump in 🤣

I would rather have Laloulu from their OL

Who would be your suggestions? There are no surefire starters in the portal. The kid from Yale isn’t. The kid from Ole Miss was the worst of their 5 offensive lineman. The kid from Ohio State is interesting. You are overestimating what is available in the portal I think.

@Gerry Hamilton Does Texas have any OL candidates that they are still watching to enter the portal that they have their eyes on? There are only 2-3 I think they would have interest in currently in the portal now.

This is an underrated take

I thought he was headed to LSU

Couldn’t agree more. Ian Boyd was what kept me there until two weeks ago. Love his ability to explain football.

Seeing Lane spurn LSU after he just went there would be theatre

Did I miss something? Is Royal thinking of reclassifying?
