Verbal to CU '25 TNFR IOL Zy Crisler

[The Alabaster Yak]

Equivalent from a talent and experience perspective against the same level of competition. But I would say that I'm more bullish on an OL coming from a Top 25 Illinois team that puts a premium on OL play for the success of its offensive system vs a transfer from what were pretty bad teams pre-Cignetti.

Yeah, a three year OL starter under Beilema and a fringe top 25 Illinois team is far different than a 2 year starter under Tom Allen and really bad Indiana teams.

The wild card here is also our next OL coach. If Prime brings in an experienced and professional OL coach, that will make a ton of difference

Do I remember correctly Benson barking at Washington he was here to take his job?

 

[J.R. Ewing]

Didn’t Benson have some pretty significant injury issues too? Or am I misremembering.

Yes, he looked and acted the part. Washington was the better player.

Welcome to the Black and Gold, I think there is an OL coach hired that has just not been announced cause these guys seem pretty happy coming here now.
I like PL, but his motivation via endless cussing seemed less and less instructional as others have said.

Washington and Wells would have contributed this year IMO and it was unfortunate they left.

No. That was David Conner who he was barking at

I don’t put much stock in ‘verbals’ for transfers, nothing’s done until it’s signed.

Would you say that it don't mean nothin'?

Maybe Crisler just wanted to announce it himself? Pete Thamel is of course a reliable source. It looks like Crisler has the same agent as Oatis and the agent was commenting Buff emojis in response to the news on twitter.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

It seems like those scores are rarely stable from year to year for OL, but that's just a hunch from what I've seen.

Of course you'd rather see good scores, but they seem borderline useless for OL.

PFF didn't like most of the guys brought in last year and look how that turned out, especially guys like Benson

2/5 of the line now looks very very strong on paper. I think the Guard/Center/RT position will get figured out through competition. If we have another season of underperforming run game. It has to be on the OC and the scheme at that point and not the actual lineman. Also, no more scapegoating Sanders and his audibles.
