Who you got? Parker Braun or Shaq Mason?

[redmule]

Half way thru their junior seasons, who's best? I thought Mason was probably the best Tech OL I had seen at the end of 2014 when he was a senior. At the middle of 2013, he was damn good. Right now though, I would give the Junior season edge to Braun. Can he get to the level Mason did his senior season?

 

[SteamWhistle]

This time next year I think Braun will be just as good or better.

Can we have both? Braun on the left Mason on the right? Give me Dwyer on a give behind that push.

I think Braun will be playing on Sundays I just hope he stays one more year.

I don’t know who I’d take but Braun has a level of nastiness that I wish every OL on our team had.

Shaq by a good bit comparing 2014 to Braun this year.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Right now Shaq Mason

You mean the best guard in the NFL vs. Braun

Shaq by a country mile

No, I'm talking about midway thru their junior seasons. Braun may be the more athletic.

They both love pancaking D-Linemen! Just glad they both went to GT!

*maybe in a year or 2 you might add Conner Hanson to the question!

It appears that way bc Braun is about 20-30lbs lighter. I’m willing to bet Shaq could do the same at 300lbs +

That’s not to disparage Braun bc i believe he will be drafted as well, but the things Shaq did vs. NFL 1st-3rders was unbelievable

I don't think we appreciated Shaq as much when he was here. But his subsequent success in the league, coupled with our relative nosedive after his departure, made many of us focus on the OL and how critical they are. Thus, we have scrutinized the O line much closure, waiting for the next Shaq. Braun might possibly be a factor at the next level like SM is, but I would take 5 of him every single year and go to war. And win a bunch of games. I also think PB may get more notoriety because he is a great interview subject.SM was a very low key type of personality.

That’s the recruiting issue we currently have. From Cord Howard, Uzzi, Shaq, to now Braun there hasn’t been a time when both guard spots were above avg. we thought we had that with Bryan & Braun, but Will has been a moves all over the line. Good to be versatile but that at times overwhelming

Trey was pretty damn good opposite Shaq when he wasn't committing badly timed false starts.

OH FFS! Played on one of the top OL in GT history. Orange Bowl Champ. Beat UGA...Beat FSU...grad with MBA and BSME...a huge reason Parker is even at GT but yeah he jumped off sides...

False starts or not, I'd take all the Brauns GT can get. <-- Hint, hint...

Coach you’ve got no reason to answer this crap. Some people either never got off the bench or can’t get the stink of carrying around laundry bags full of jockstraps washed off themselves. You’ve raised some great young men that have excelled athletically and academically at one of the world’s top institutions at both & that almost always requires a superior level of parent. I’m sure that’s the case here.

Anybody know how many false starts I committed over my career? I’d be interested to see how it stacks up against the mean.
