Go for Enrique Cruz from Syracuse. He’s their starting Lt and he played at willowbrook

Here is my ?. We have recruited several good OL in the last couple of years. I think of Joey Okla as one. Haven’t had a chance on the field. There are others. If we try to secure a transfer what will our redshirt think or will they get a sniff on the field. I can see if we get a former highly rated transfer to play.

Is your premise that Miller doesn't know his personnel?

Dollars to donuts, the reason that young OL haven't seen the field is that they're behind guys. Wisecarver is a good example. Most heralded OL in his class. Nobody cares at the next level. Kid couldn't cut it.

It's a tough business. Coaching staff is ALWAYS looking to upgrade. If you're chaff or marginal, your ride is more valuable freed up.

Exactly, it’s a business and they are trying to win. The interior oline is set but the question is tackle. It would’ve been huge to add someone like Marques cox or Marcellus Johnson. Two instate kids that have gone from Mac programs to starting in the sec. D line should also be a priority on the portal.

whatever happened with the WR , Miller who was hurt in 2022?
Was scrolling this thread and thought the same thing. Seemed like he had some promise coming in until the injury. i believe it was the ACL too. Hope he sticks around and develops.

In-state ATH Blayne Sisson decommits from SIU scholarship for PWO at Illinois. I guess we stay in communication with all of these guys, especially around signing day.


Late reply to this, seen Sisson playing for the 3A Mount Carmel vs Roxana on YouTuber (RiverBender.com's channel). That Mt Carmel offense was Sisson, got some Vince Young in Rose Bowls vibes for him :). The 3A title might be Byron vs Sisson.

Did we have a late bloomer in-state prospect this year? Feels like we didn’t?

Not sure what your definition of late bloomer in-state prospect is — jumped in ratings late in his senior year, relatively low ranking/rating — nor if by this year you mean 2023 recruit playing this year or a 2024 recruit, but Mac Resetich might qualify. Ended up a nationally, unranked 3* who was ranked mid-thirty in state, and getting some play this year. Had that pick against IU and 3 solos versus Iowa.
