Again, 3*OL are always a take. I’ve said this for years, regardless the coach. The one position that’s about size, development and staying healthy. Little more. Every great OL has several such players. So I’m good with this kid.

Further, 3*s in surrounding counties where we have to keep our footprint, are also almost always a take. Situations like having Lingard type players transfer back can’t continue. We lost talent like him because we first lost kids like this new commit.

My special thanks to neteng for his steady flow of info and much-needed enthusiasm. No news is bad news and neteng keeps us from having no news.

This might be a good take. For all we know, this guy might shoot up the rankings after camping.

What I will say it's hilarious watching the people on Twitter who bashed people who said we missed on the Maryland transfer DT based on the DT's recruiting ranking now telling us how great this guy is as a take despite that fact this guy's recruiting rank being lower than that of the DT.

At least we wont be putting undersized OL out there like the past.. These guys are all running around 330. OL can be developed though it may take a few years.

I think Kinsler will be the lowest ranked OL we take. He is a project type but has the size and good tape. He was also high on the scUM board.

Has size and isn't afraid to mix it up. Needs lots of help on technique and footwork. Potential and size is there, but wouldn't be surprised to see him redshirt and work through the system for 3 years before seeing meaningful playing time. We may be bringing him in simply for depth, but he does fit the physical profile our staff looks for.

For those who are underwhelmed, while I understand, Kinsler is rated higher on the staff’s board than Payton Kirkland who is a consensus 4 star. Miami has him rated higher than Kirkland as well. So, it isn’t just us who thinks highly of Kinsler. We are in the thick of it for other highly rated OLs. This should be an excellent oline class. The staff needs to close though.
