Indeed; I only said to keep him because realistically, he's not going to be cut after 1 year (even though we all know he should). Even though we've seen little to nothing, I would take Dolegala over him for the simple fact that Dolegala's upside is vastly superior.

His draft profiles:

All mention that he's got excellent smarts for the game and I've read more than once (though probably only twice lol) that he's like another coach on the sidelines.

I would expect that if he is cut, he immediately becomes a graduate assistant at Boise or NC State or whatever, then begins coaching
