'20 Harvard C Austin Gentle (transfer)

[GoodTimeVol]

At some point, you have to let your guys play. Satterwhite has been prepped to take over, so let him do it. IMO

Nope we need competition at all spots

That’s NOT 1 Heupel/Glenn Oline recruit from high school that has started and played consistently in 4 years. I don’t blame them for 2021 and 2022, and I’m all for adding the best competition and players in portal, but eventually you have to start playing your own guys and developing them.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

There’s an idea that you have to be fairly intelligent to be a center, and especially so in this office.

So we may get the #2 rated center in the country and he may be a Harvard graduate by the time he arrives?

Yes, please!

In the FCS. Big difference.

 

[Go Fight Win]

this would be a nice pickup, even if only for depth. what if satterwhite goes down? Lang? nice to have an all conference graduate kid with high intelligence at the position

Lol tell that to Hooker, Brazzell, you come into every situation in life to compete. Nobody on a winning team comes in expecting start without earning it on the practice field first…

Thanks. I misread as FBS in my mind.

Were either in their final year?

 

[wrangler]

Never hurts to have a Gentleman on the field.

This is so soft nobody is just given the starting position…the point still remains

And a freak in the bed. Wait...wrong song

Kitselman?

Obviously. The actual point remains that a highly rated grad transfer is coming to here to start. One of the main critics against this staff, and presumably why guys like Utu/Sanders have transferred/might transfer is because they have not played their OL recruits. Satterwhite provides a great opportunity to combat that narrative.

 

[LotteryPick]

Kitselman?

Not highly rated but I see what you’re saying

 

[JRVOL11]

i’ll ride with satterwhite, pass

 

[Bollweevil]

Does he have to play center?

 

[Vol423]

Were either in their final year?

No.

 

[madbamahater]

Hope he's not a gentle giant

 

[12and0]

He is a Gentle man and a scholar.

 

[SGMVols]

Seems like a sure way for Satterwhite our projected starting center to transfer for a one year fix. We need to stop chasing the shiny objects and develop what we have if they are showing promise and growth. Surviving on the transfer portal is a recipe for failure in my opinion. The portal is for filling NEEDS that we haven't filled with our recruiting, I do not believe center fits that description.

He can move to guard

 

[white65]

Going from Harvard to the Harvard of the South!

 

[SGMVols]

i’ll ride with satterwhite, pass

Then what if he goes down?

This is probably one of the few transfers who are both good enough to play here and may be willing to be a backup if he doesn’t win the job.

 

[JCVol00]

Hear me out with this one: he plays guard instead of C, we will have to fill literally the entire ol besides heard, karic is meh because of his injury history

I really wish people would stop regurgitating Basilio’s BS about the HS recruits.

I don’t care if the entire OL comes from the portal if the team is winning.

And the team is winning

 

[drvenner]

at some point we need to play the players we recruit from high school on the oline.

To a limited degree yes. Portal makes it much less critical IMO
