It would be a huge pick up for Coach Lebb to get Mario Nash Jr from Florida State.

Definitely. He is in the portal rated at 91. 6'4 285. He has to be bigger than that right ??

Shaq McRoy from Arkansas would be a great get imo. He is a giant

Naw, we need starters not projects

Connor Stroh from Texas is in the portal. Would be a good addition maybe. Might be ready to start

We need actual production not just some Guy . Nash has potential but he’s not one I’m gonna over pursue

We need both. We did not have a good HS OL class this year. We need immediate impact guys and we need upside young guys. Improve talent where you can and cut whoever they are better than.

I think this is something that’s over looked in the portal. Not only do you need guys to start immediately. You need 2-3 year guys that can develop and add depth and become starters.

But do those guys stay and develop? That's the issue. If they don't play - which they all want to - they leave and go somewhere else.

Agreed. Everything is so short sited.

I wouldn't break the bank for anyone that is a portal developmental guy, but I think a home town guy like this may be worth it because they are more likely in general to stay at least 1 extra year IMO.

Maybe. If he's cheap and understands he won't play much year 1 but is projected to start in year 2. But portal is usually a 1-year deal. And if you don't legitimately expect him to start in year 2, don't even waste your time.

Imo we need to spend whatever is necessary for 2 starter grade large tackles. We can move guys to guard and make it work but 2 outside anchors are desperately needed.

I don't imagine we'll see many "good" OL classes coming out of high school much anymore. As discussed, we'll probably focus more on skill players - because you can come in and get some PT with speed as a freshman. But there are almost zero OL that can come in and give you anything as a freshman, because of the physical demands and the experience you need up front. So unless it's a special case (Charles Cross was probably the last one) you aren't going to waste too many spots there.

We'll see that and then a super heavy OL/DL portal class annually. I pray.
