Miles McVay Keeps Working

[crusader_of_90]

The Big Man from East Side is a Redshirt Freshman, slotted at LT behind another from his class who was the top ranked lineman. Also, another RS/Frosh tackle is getting PT before him. He was next up, but an injury this weekend proved otherwise when the 2nd RT (RS Soph) moved to LT when Proctor got hurt.

In this day and age of the portal, I am guilty of thinking about his next home, but he still has plenty of time to earn his Sunday stripes. In fact, the young man is a cheerleader for the team's recruiting of other linemen.

Not only that, he is getting himself a good education, earning Honor Roll status. I sure hope he stays all five years and gets a grad degree before getting Day 1 drafted. He is a student athlete I can really root for!

Paris Patterson transferred from Arkansas to SMU - he too has not taken a snap this year.

Crazy how I thought both could get into the rotation right away. They are playing with the Bog Boys now!

Physically his transformation has been highly impressive and he's come so far from when I met him as an eigth grader.

Proctor got hurt? That guy committed to Iowa, decommited for Alabama. When Saban left he went in the portal and recommitted to Iowa, then magically went back to Alabama….as far as the ESL linemen, the gamble of committing to big time programs is with so many big time recruits going there, it leaves very little room for error in a program where you can easily plug another 4 or 5 star in. Depending on what there plan is for him I wouldn’t be surprised to see him at Mizzou or maybe Illinois next season. Illini would plug him in right away

That's the thing - the kid seems so hung ho for Bama, I think he sticks it out and is content being a two-year starter during his five years. Change that blubber body to an adonis to play Sundays.

 

[PowerI66]

The good news is, I just heard his names mentioned on national television. The bad news is that it was for an unsportsmanlike when he wasn't in the play 🤣

 

[crusader_of_90]

I saw it - the replay of the end of half. There was scrum, he dashed in to pull dudes back - hopped out and they called it him.

Not saying there was not a crime, but BS call on the perp, Blame the kid from East Side, I guess ... meaning the refs. Not you, this is fair game topic, I think.

I'm not watching and I'm sure they could have accidently gotten the wrong number or picked the wrong guy from the scrum, but are you implying that the refs for the Alabama Georgia game intentionally called an unsportsmanlike on guy who's only meaningful snaps are on PAT with 38 offensive snaps in blowouts, because he's from esl? i'd bet a dollar to a dime they don't know number 58 from an equipment manager.

Hyperbole. Jest. That is all.

And Black Twitter has declared Miles innocent, FWIW.

I can't say I'm hip with the lingo these days, what is black twitter or is it a different app?

I was watching and didn’t think he deserved a penalty. He really didn’t do anything. I had no idea it was Miles but did see it was 58. My wife felt differently. She was screaming what an idiot, saying he should have never even been in the scrum. 😂
I think I’m right! Hahahaha
He didn’t do anything.
Roll Tide!

 

[PowerI66]

I assumed it was something said. And you know what they say, it's always the 17th guy that gets caught

 

[crusader_of_90]

Who knows - but hell of a game!

Lovett was great!

At least it wasn't holding

Ryan Williams was great. 17 years old. Wow
Roll Tide!

[brucealmighy]

Into the portal. Gotta think it will be a battle between Missouri and Illinois

If you want to be the best!!! You got to beat out the best. 😊

 

[crusader_of_90]

A couple of thoughts - he waited for the tourney participants to be announced. New regime prefers smaller, less girth linemen. He likely stays in the SEC at Mizzou.

Pre-NIL I agree. Let's see who shows him the money though

 

[crusader_of_90]

Is this a hint? Big 10 linemen are known for bulk.

He'd be a Bielema dream

He is scheduled to visit Friday

 

[crusader_of_90]

Looks like he has good seats.

 

[crusader_of_90]

Poor bastard behind him.

Dude - you are in row two?

Well .... I couldn't really see.

WHAT????

 

[brucealmighy]

Sounds like he could be one of Belichick’s first purchases at UNC

 

[brucealmighy]

Sounds like he is getting 1.5 million to head to UNC. Miles is an earlier portal winner.

Unfortunately that is where the Illini is in the Big 10. They are a doormat even after a better year. No big time program is worried about Illinois.

Keep thinking that way Corey. Illinois is starting to put players in the NFL that are producing. Several corners and safeties having great seasons with Joseph leading the league in interceptions. Chase Brown is stacking games for the Bengals. Bielema was not going to overpay for an unproven player. McVay only has about 90 snaps and the tape is not great. Definitely a lot of potential but nothing close to a sure thing.

Illinois did sign the only quarterback that has beaten Notre Dame this season. And they did beat Michigan unlike the team from Columbus that spent $20 million on their roster.

“Poor bastard” behind him is a coach. He will look at the back of his head all night if he McVay commits

The QB they signed handed the ball off 50 times in that game. They didn’t really win solely off his QB play

The guys doing well in the league now are largely Lovies guys. Which is shocking considering how much people used to say lovie couldn't recruit. Im very skeptical BB will ever recruit at a level to get Illinois over the hump.

To be fair seemed like NIU was ready to move on from him before he entered the portal.

Lovie looked at recruiting like the combine… it was boom or bust. He was a bad college head coach.

BB got Illinois over the hump this year… 9 wins and beat Michigan, what more could Illinois fans want?

BB best recruiting has been player retention he really hasn’t lost anyone worthwhile thus far to the portal.

High compliment too. Belichick and Lombardi have the focus of bringing linemen in first. So he clearly was high on the list

 

[forlouann]

Hmm. Bringing in lineman and building that first. Interesting concept. Wish others would have followed that blueprint

If you talk to coaches and if they are being honest and have a choice to play Illinois or OSU who do you think they are going to pick. Today on College game day everyone just picked South Carolina to beat Illinois in next week’s bowl game. Yeah I will keep thinking this way until they prove otherwise.
