We had a solid running joke for a while: “I think this will be the year Andrew Mike really makes an impact as a player.”Butters wasn't far behind with this guy.
I finally got the courage to watch the O&B game a few days ago and our players had the upperbody of 85 QB's running around the field.He doesn’t help now but if taking a complete project, I suppose it’s better to get him in your own strength and weight program than HS. And he THEORETICALLY gets better coaching in college too for that development.

May as well be. Good length and size but no experience. New to football. You know - the way that we like to get all of our OL prospects.

All our coaches post Meyer have been like third world country dictatorships. They come in, do some nice things and talk about positive reforms, which are welcomed by the masses, only to eventually revert back to the core issues of the last guy, before digging in a treacherous power struggle that ends in a violent coup as they flee Gainesville in the middle of the night with massive bags of cash invoking some of the most toxic derision from the people that had once viewed them fondly. It’s quite the spectacle.
Chump picked up this winner. A basketball player turned football guy. I think he stayed a year.
Butters wasn't far behind with this guy.
He was hurt, badly. If you remember in the summer he was supposedly out for the year. They basically begged him to give it a try because the next option was a walkon.My favorite Butters pickup was Mason Halter.
He was a grad transfer from Fordham that had been all league multiple times in whatever conference Fordham plays in.
He was our starting right tackle and he was absolutely awful.
i mean he already had his degree so...we later learned that he went full Deion and never even attended any classes the entire fall semester.
I forgot about that guy. His lasting legacy will be his impressive bench press display at pro day: NINE reps. From a LINEMAN. Punters probably throw up that much weight.My favorite Butters pickup was Mason Halter.
He was a grad transfer from Fordham that had been all league multiple times in whatever conference Fordham plays in.
He was our starting right tackle and he was absolutely awful. He couldn’t run block and he made up for it by not being able to pass block either.
To show what a well rounded person he was, we later learned that he went full Deion and never even attended any classes the entire fall semester.
Butters was a portal master before there was a portal.
i mean he already had his degree so...
Halter shoulder was so bad and we kept putting him in, and it ruined what microscopic chance he had going to the league as well.
3 reps man...it was 3 reps...Didn’t he only do the 225 rep like 4 times at the combine before asking for a smoothie and nap?
I gave your mother waaaaaay more than 3 reps.3 reps man...it was 3 reps...
Just as a threshold requirement, we could begin by not hiring someone who already failed at a P5 school and was fired or pushed out (Sale/Hevesy/ I dont even remember the OL coaches from Butters or Chimp but Im sure they were asswarts too).... even if this violates Fooley Money Saving Rule #391: hire coaches some other school just fired bc the previous school pays some or all of the salaryThe state of our offensive line recruiting has been putrid for nearly 15 years now. The 2 best Olinemen we've had in that time span were both recruited to play guard(Trenton Brown and Jawann Taylor) and both went on to be All Pro and or Super Bowl starters at Tackle in the NFL....tells you something...
