His grade of 86 was a prospect coming out of high school but he was the number 2 transfer offensive tackle last season. While he may have not lived up to his high rating just yet I would take him and let Geep try to develop his talent to get the best version of himself on the football field. Geep knows how to develop from all accounts.
I understand but EP has played a lot better since the beginning part of the season and while Chaplin does need work Geep could make him a better player I believe."The offensive line as a whole struggled with sacks, though, and Chaplin was tagged with allowing 17 quarterback pressures on the season. He was also flagged 12 times for false starts and holds, with the next-closest Auburn offensive lineman at four for the season."
Sounds identical to the LT we already have..
This is a great example of what I posted about earlier. He is one of the best available and has issues. I just don't think there are many great line transfers that are available. The few that are available have everyone all over them so at best we might land one or two.
Possibly..?? But if we're buying LT, let's buy the best.. not a project.. JMO
EP transfered once, Chaplin is on his third team in 3 yrs!
Yeah and we might get the qb from UNLV who is transferring to his third team as well. This might be the new norm in college football.
We have a LT. Pritch was a great addition.
I think if we’re paying we should not have to develop anyone. Coaches can tink a bit to fit their scheme, but if a guy gets paid he should 1. Have sound technique 2. Come fit and ready to play from day one 3. Be emotionally mature.
Pritchard and Rocco both had good, fundamental technique, used universally. But they both had to change it to use Donnie's "NFL" technique. smdh.
