Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

[RamblinRed]

I think we have a slim chance at a bowl, but only if we can cobble together a serviceable offensive line. And at this point, that's an awfully big if.

This is my biggest concern going into the season. I'm not even convinced we have 5 legitimate ACC level starters, much less acceptable backups.
If the OL isn't significantly better than last year's then it won't matter what talent we have at the QB, RB, WR, TE spots on offense. They won't have time or space to do anything.

DL would be my second biggest concern right now. We got almost no push by our DL in running or passing situations. That has to get better as well or the changes to the secondary won't matter.

Makes perfect sense, how hard is it to understand one of the best players in the country doesn’t wanna play for the worst Power 5 team in america at the time outside of Kansas. Some people care about winning and playing against the best

That wasn't the statement that made no sense. You've just moved the goalposts. The comment was about empty stats by playing on a bad team.

The truth is that this offensive lineman wasn't even recruited by us out of high school even though he's in our back yard, had only one P-5 offer (Vanderbilt sniffed around but passed), and warmed the bench his first season at the likes of Kansas. I hope he helps us out, but to say it's a long shot is an understatement. The fact that he's been accepted here now is a sign of our desperation.

Don't take bits and pieces, to try and bash the coach.

Not trying to bash anyone. I hope this guy can help us out, but just supplying a dose of reality here.
He is a long shot, and we are obviously desperate for help on the OL.

This is a bad sign, even for depth imo. Just being realistic.

Corey Robinson II, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Offensive Tackle

Corey Robinson II is a 6-5, 265-pound Offensive Tackle from Roswell, GA.

Just watch the film. He is relying on his size 90% of the time. Zero usage of his hips for thrust/very low leverage is not going to fly when we go up against Clemson, etc. Upright A LOT with a bad base in most pass pro situations. The technique doesn't look like it's there for run blocking either, especially against guys who are ACC size. The talent he's playing against leaves a lot to be desired as well.

You talking his hs film or Kansas film?

He didn't see the field at Kansas.

 

[Adadu]

He has no Kansas film. Referring to the film I linked bud. It ain't pretty for the most part.

For many, the recruiting process once entering the transfer portal can be slow developing. It was the complete opposite

"Offensive tackle is where he sees me coming in with a chance to contribute," he said. "That's where I see myself too. It was a lot of hard work to get my body to where it is today. A lot of time with the strength and conditioning staff, and a lot of time with the nutrition staff there as well to fill out my frame."

At least he will look tall and big on the side line.

Hope he learns fast enough so he is a help in practice and block for extra points.

There are going to be some guys that get drafted in the 2nd and 3rd round of the NFL draft next weekend that have god awful technique, even some with specifically the problems @Adadu mentioned. But you cannot coach size and O-line coaches are going to take big guys with technique issues because it's their job to fix those issues and coach them up. A guy one year removed from high school with things in his game to clean up is nothing uncommon and an O-line coaches worth his pay should make him a college level football player if not more

 

[MonroeJacket]

Amazing (weird really) how so many grown men who have never played a down of CFB are so quick to point out everything wrong with a young man who WANTS to come play football at Georgia Tech.

I’d have to watch some more but Roswell doesn’t exactly play scrubs.

This is true. I was a tackle myself for a long time and was fortunate enough to play alongside a guy starting at RT in the NFL right now so maybe I'm being too hard on the kid. Just some things I noticed off the rip that would have a lot of guys on the bench for good unless the technique is cleaned up fast.

Might not be 'scrubs' but these kids are significantly slowed down and are clearly smaller than what he would see on a normal ACC Saturday.

Apologies for analyzing the film my guy. Guess we all just shut up and say hooray all the time now? 3 wins good with everyone?

i don’t think he’s going to be expected to be a starter this season. with 3 years of eligibility left he should probably begin to see the field next year or in 2024. by that time he could be completely different body and technique wise. at the very least a depth issue we have is being addressed. definitely a positive move for the program so that’s probably why criticism is being met poorly
