I'm looking forward to seeing USC's Jonah Monheim at Center in 2024. He was a good tackle in '23 and '22.

As someone who has seen what being in a big new geographical conference will do to your team in another sport, I feel for those teams getting those PAC12 teams in their conferences now.
It takes a toll when you're traveling across multiple timezones frequently, resulting in some underperformance sometimes.

Tarheels RB Omarion Hampton's game against Clemson was a rollercoaster lol.

[*Synric*]

Took a while to watch Clemson DT DeMonte Capehart because the guy barely played. Another former IMG Academy prospect getting the typical pre-season bump.


Edit: Alot of ACC teams leaving talk.. I wouldn't mind seeing Pitt and Louisville in the Big 12.

Cincinnati Bearcats DT Dontay Corleone is stepping away from football for now because of health concerns. Prayers for him and hope he gets back soon.

Cincinnati IDL Dontay Corleone will miss football activities for “an undetermined period of time”, after being treated for blood clots in his lungs. https://t.co/gHc599vala

Jim Nagy has started his summer scouting. Everyone seems to be jumping into the RB class first.

You want fun tape?

Put on Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty's (5082v, 217v) pass game cutup.

Checkout off-target wrong shoulder adjustment & hand placement. ?

Then that explosive cutback!

Backs with Jeanty's skill level are ???? ?? ????!

I have Louisville vs Clemson & Pittsburgh 2022 schedule for tonight. I want to see now Cincinnati G Luke Kandra vs Kancey, Ruke, and Davis. Kandra is a Cincinnati local and we all know how much the Bengals ike their local guys.

Any relation to former Bengal Rashad Jeanty?

I'm not sure on this but I would guess no since Ashton Jeanty was born and raised in Italy and just recently came to the USA.

Spoiler... My pre-season mock draft is probabaly going to include Omarion Hampton.

Pardon my jargon, but #NorthCarolina RB Omarion Hampton is a BOSS in pass pro. pic.twitter.com/d5vxRR0nIc

I want to see Benjamin Morrison CB Notre Dame in stripes. That is all.

I’m leaning between Benjamin Morrison and Will Johnson as my CB1 for the 2025 #NFL Draft.

This rep by Morrison?

Good footwork, COD, control with good foot quickness and reaction to arrive at the catch point and force a PBU.

The tape they will show for Benjamin Morrison on draft night next year.

Morrison is a technician. 1-on-1 with Marvin Harrison Jr. Kick-step technique. Gets chest-to-chest to prevent the fade/back shoulder. Eyes back. #NotreDame pic.twitter.com/6DJeeJzyDC

Yeah. Though who knows where we will pick. I hope we pick 32nd though that seems like a real longshot at this point. Top 5 might be a possibility (I am not rooting for it obviously). Graham is on top of the list of BIG DTs (Nosetackles) that I would consider taking in the early rounds. You take these guys if you are hoping one of them will turn into another DJ Reader:

Mason Graham

Deone Walker
Bear Alexander (lightest on this list at 315 lbs)
Kenneth Grant
Tyleik Williams

Crazy thing... Bear Alexander redshirted like 3 games into the season. Seems he's going to transfer to an SEC team next year.

Ah. Didn't know that but makes sense. Well then I'd replace him on my list with a different Bear...cat. Dontay Corleone. If the Godfather can't improve our Dline, who can?

From a need perspective, Bengals definitely need more pass rush from the DL.
Hendrickson and Hubbard are aging and they only really have Murphy grooming behind them.
BJ Hill and Sheldon Rankins as well.
Kris Jenkins is showing flashes at least from a run stopping standpoint and Jackson might end up becoming a solid (rotational) NT, but they need juice inside from pass rush to replace Hill/Rankins.

OL is actually performing ok this year so far, but with all 3 IOL hitting FA by 2026, Bengals may want to invest an early draft pick (or two?) at IOL this next draft to help prepare for departures.

WR may also have to be on the board early if/when Higgins departs if they don't see enough from Burton and Iosivas by the end of this season to give them confidence.
