He has the potential to be just at right tackle

Glad that Baker didn't do any tricky hat maneuvers

He is possibly a Banks-level talent, but the o-line room that he will be walking into next year will be so much stronger than what Banks entered in 2022 that Baker may not be a day one starter his freshman year.

it’s obvious, but this is how you become Bama / Georgia.

 

it’s so wonderful to have coaching that believes

[billfromlaketravis 11517]

So does Baker push Big Cam next year at RT? 

[Elmer_Fudd 22282]

 

[Bevo 13579]

Baker is going to push at left tackle. He is the best tackle prospect in the country.

That will be a hell of a spring, summer, and fall battle.

[Elmer_Fudd 22282]

Is Carter still scheduled to OV this weekend?  I know it's been mentioned what Freese has told Auburn commits, but that offense has looked like a steaming pile of monkey crap so far.

As of Gerry on the IT Live just a bit ago, yes.

No, he isn't going to push anything at left tackle. He'll compete at right tackle, along with Williams, Goosby, and maybe Agbo.

IMO Goosby will be groomed this year and next to take over at LT when Banks goes pro. Dude is legit.


 

[campcrunk 2503]

Here's his Junior HUDL for anyone interested. I'm not a "WATCH TEH TAPPPEE!!" guy but, god damn, this dude moves like someone half his size:

From my VERY amateur perspective, I don't think he's quite as talented as Banks, but there's absolutely ZERO shame in that and he still looks like an absolute monster. As someone else pointed out, continuing to get guys like this is how you become Bama/UGA. I am beyond stoked to get his commit

Lol. Look out, Kelvin Banks. You're on notice

I think cam gets RT and baker gets cam’s swing tackle spot next year. Then they both start the year after- unless cam feels the need to go pro asap.

He was recruited as a RT. Those guys go in the first round too. If he wound up at LT, things have gone wrong with the roster management at some point.

No way he's pushing Banks.

[Rholl 218]

Its crazy to think a dominant mf’er like Banks will be back again next yr!!!!

[Stunns38 3536]

Lol, people are forgetting that Banks is a once in a decade O-Tackle.

Got to play three years before you’re draft eligible, so he’ll be back next year. 

[Coach pop a bitch 5471]

Would love to be at the practices that have Colin lined up against Baker.  Sark getting beef on campus praise the lord

Nah.  RT will be Cam Williams next year. We aren’t in desperate enough straights to need him to come in and start like we did Banks.

Bobby and Gerry said Baker is an EE

Williams, Goosby, Agbo, and now Baker with an outside shot at Weston Davis and DeAndre Carter. Not to mention Campbell, Umeozulu, Cruz, Kibble, Chatman, Kirkland, Stroh, Cojoe, Hutson, and Robinson - and they're all being coached and developed by Flood. Talk about a First World Problem. This OL is going to be absolutely filthy for years. We could have Vondrell McGree, Antwon Cobb, Tristian Houston, Kyle Porter, Danny Young, or Toneil Carter runnning behind them and probably still average more than 5 ypc. Hell, post-injury Kevin Shorter could probably get 4 or even 4.5. Instead, we've got or are getting Brooks, Baxter, Gibson, Clark, and even guys like Blue and Red (who I would desparately like to see get more carries, btw)

Someone hit the nail on the head: this is how Bama and Georgia were built.

edited to point out that I'd like to see more Savion Red

Who would be the next up after Banks?

They’d probably flip Jones to LT and put in Williams at RT.

Better than the future first round pick and likely All American on our roster? You can do better than this. Or maybe this is your ceiling. 

[Gut Wagon 8083]

Wouldn't shock me to see Goosby take LT after Banks. Tons of potential. 

[Sir Ulrich 5187]

Banks will be the first Round 1 lineman in 20 years and hopefully the last line man to start from game 1 for another 20.
