Yeah Mullen really set us up for the Most Improved Award. Thanks Dan!

6’8”, 330#. Damn. Didn’t we get some other gigantic OT as well? I can’t keep up.

And he runs a 4.3 50 in gear.

Besting Clemson is great sign. We are still in on several top 50/100 guys too. Please keep this part of the program rolling. As we perform better, I'd think funding sources feel more encouraged too.

I expect a surprisingly decent season, so hopefully this group largely sticks and we don't slip next year if the wheels come off a bit before Lagway can be really ready. Even 8/9 wins this season will feel like a sign of good things coming and help absorb next year's possible set back. Or, Mertz/Lagway beat expectations and 2024 is more progress, it just seems more daunting than this year's schedule.

Napier clearly isn’t afraid of going head to head with the cream of the crop in crootin. Nicky, Dabo, Bangz, doesn’t matter.

Cousin Eddie was too busy vacationing to give a shyt about recruiting, mainly because he knew he’d lose those battles 99 out of the 100 times

“I really liked that they are truly the everything school" Westphal told Swamp247 before he announced this decision to the public. "They check off so many boxes for me. The players have so many thing available for them. With Clemson they have the Paw Journey, and at Florida they have the Gator Made right? The o-line aspect you can get at Arkansas, well at Florida you have the dual o-line coaches. The academic stand point at Florida too separated them. Of the schools in my top five, they were the best academic school."

For his high school team, Fletcher Westphal also plays DL. I wonder if playing both ways hurts his ranking a little since he isn't devoting himself to one side of the ball. I wonder how much he'll improve once he can fully focus on one position? I was going to post his tape but you can't really learn anything from them because he is so much bigger than his opponent. I did notice that he doesn't get too high coming out of his stance. That'll be important for him. In contrast, the Ory Williams kid (he is 6'9) practically stands straight up coming out of his stance.

Great job by the staff! Does this mean our O-Line coaches are finally hitting their stride on the recruiting side of things? You gotta think with the talent coming in that they'll be able to coach them up into something special.

Most of these giants have relied on their superior size and strength to dominate. Technique will come in time with coaching and experience against SEC foes.

Agreed. Nice to see them getting results from months of dedicated effort.

So here's a guy actually saying straight-out that having 2 OL coaches was a factor in his decision.

I don't remember who it was, but I'll never forget the quote. He is an o-line coach at a big time program. He said, "I don't care what their technique is. I usually change it anyway." For him, it is about what kind of an athlete they are.

It appears they just needed time to get acclimated to college recruiting. If they keep getting better on the trail, we'll be reaping the benefits of a monster o-line for years to come.

I’m just sad I won’t get to see this monstrous OL class block for Mertz after he gets drafted in the 1st round next draft
