This is an interesting take and one we all were probably thinking. I'm just surprised that Kylan Johnson is willing to come to be depth - no complaints as LB depth is needed.

Some players want to move down a level to play, because they think they can make the NFL or because they want to finally start (typically after riding the bench for 4 years).  Others know they’ll never play professionally so they look to put themselves in a position to succeed after college.  A player from the state Texas with a graduate degree from UT is far more valuable than most other options available to them.

I would think the more logical inference would be that 1) there is a narrow canal, 2) there is a herniated disk, and 3) until the herniated disk is taken care of, we won't know whether or not it was the cause of the narrow canal.  In other words, it currently looks like stenosis, but that may just be because of the herniated disk.
It's also possible that they're feeding us bullshit, it's actually incurable stenosis, and we're just waiting out the string until he's told for sure he's 100% done.
Translation, he's transferring to swamp tigah, becoming an all-american 1st rounder linebacker. Of course, Google translate has been known to be wonky..

Is this right, he’s able to reclassify?

Expand  

I don't think he's reclassifying but he is eligible this fall. Also, he's Jacoby Jones's teammate. Here's a writeup from Suchomel. Sounds like we might hvae lucked our way into another LB.

That's great news on the Juco LB, lets get him on campus!  I love this staff's relentless pursuit of talent.  I know this is an old topic, but the MB regime would never have been mining for immediate talent like this.  I don't want to rehash old bs, I just appreciate Herman and co. for working every angle to make this roster the best it can be.

Assuming we take this guy and Gbenda arrives next month, we have talent and numbers at the LB spot, it's just all inexperienced.

Anyone watch this guy’s hudl? He seems like a Mac all the way. I doubt he’ll be able to play Rover.

He hits hard and seems to read plays fairly well, but he looks pretty dang slow. There’s a number of plays where he’s pursuing laterally and doesn’t seem to be moving very fast.

Yeah true.  With Shark and Roach on the field (next to and in front of) and with our bad ass experience secondary, hopefully it makes up for inexperienced LB play.

We can make him and Adeoye race for the spot.

Add in Slo’Neal and it’ll look like this.

If Adeoye doesn't start/play much this year he's hitting the transfer portal IMO.

Expand  

Probably. He and Williams seem like similar players. A lot the playing time this year will likely come down to which one of those two plus Johnson can grasp the Orlando’s system the quickest.

If Adeoye can't crack THIS depth chart, then this would probably be the best thing for all parties.  Hoping that isn't the case, however.

Expand  

If you set your expectations at zero for Adeoye, you cannot possibly be disappointed. This has been my approach. I developed and honed this approach by using it with most posters on the Shaggy and Surly and it has worked out really well.

The staff got handed a shit sandwich by the previous regime in terms of LB depth, then compounded the issue by making Adeoye the only true ILB take and not pushing for DaShaun White early enough, or taking another JUCO between Gary and Caleb Johnson. They did much, much better in 2019 (even factoring in the tragic situation with Floyd), but there's a giant experience gap. Given all this, throwing numbers at the problem is the best course of action at this point.

Wow. Jalon Jones sounds like a peach. Seems like a situation where the NCAA might grant a waiver too - especially if the Steele family lawyers up.

The article did say he wasn’t killing it in practice. Not saying he wouldn’t be a valuable transfer or anything though.

"The guy who is leaving because we forced him to room with Rapey McRapist isn't a big loss anyway and you know what maybe this shouldn't be a very big story let's just keep it nice and quiet."
