I’d take Darian Mensah, I’ve heard he’s very bright.
I mean, guys can make huge leaps in a year in college or they may plateau or regress.I’d take Darian Mensah, I’ve heard he’s very bright.

Half they fun will be keeping any eye on this class going forward. No guarantee any of these guys will take another step but the odds look good so far.
I don't think he got it. Nice work by you, though!!
Never heard of Holstein. Just pulled up his highlights. He looks the part. Big kid, nice touch. However, he was a true freshmen last year. Lost his first 3 starts then won out. Not even sure he is eligible as a true soph. Not sure of the eligibility rules anymore.I have always wanted a Manning, but I will settle for a Sellers. BTW, my accountant's name is Eli Holstein.
He was a redshirt Freshman at Alabama, tough kid. This will be his 3rd year out of HS. One to watch but like Manning more likely 2 seasons down the roadNever heard of Holstein.

Now I really do not want to get into semantics, but Iamaleava left Tennessee because they would not come up with more money and now he is going to end up at UCLA? Not sure, this is the type of guy I want to hitch my wagon to, however, no denying the talent as even though my beloved Buckeyes kicked the Volunteers back to Knoxville, Iamaleava impressed me, but I do believe he will stay a couple of years because UCLA football needs time under Head Coach DeShaun Foster.Nico Iamaleava

And this is where the interview process means so much. He could talk about he made mistakes and grew from it, or not GAS and then be viewed as such.Now I really do not get into semantics, but Iamaleava left Tennessee because they would not come up with more money and now he is going to end up at UCLA?

Inside the monthslong saga that led to Nico Iamaleava's shocking Tennessee transfer
What really went down in Nico Iamaleava's split with Tennessee and move to UCLA? We go inside the drama months in the making.www.espn.com
Agreed, but in that game against Ohio State, he was getting hit time and time again. Seem to take it on the chin and not blame anyone, although I did not see the press conference with him after the game. Granted now he is back home and playing with his brother or soon to be, so that is a plus and I like what Foster is building at UCLA, however, if they win more then 6 games this year, it will be a story.And this is where the interview process means so much.

Personally, I dont see the hype either way and thought he was exposed in the OSU game. A lot of chuck and duck throws and then just a 1 look and run
So accountant is the one position you don't trust a paesan. Good call.I have always wanted a Manning, but I will settle for a Sellers. BTW, my accountant's name is Eli Holstein.
Big as hell with massive cajones and some move to him when needed. Pocket destroyer.Nah. My qualifier is 6’6” and >
Completely off my board for the same reasons as Shedeur: his dad.Nico Iamaleava

Okay, yeah I saw somewhere they said he was a class of 23' recruit, which would make him a true Soph...so that must have been wrong.He was a redshirt Freshman at Alabama, tough kid. This will be his 3rd year out of HS. One to watch but like Manning more likely 2 seasons down the road
Yeah, nor in law either, but that's just me. Seriously though, I have not watched much of Eli Holstein so I will keep an eye on him although I do believe he will be part of the 2027 draft class IMO.So accountant is the one position you don't trust a paesan. Good call.![]()
Narduzzi is on some thin ice in Pitt so its likely Holstein ends up wearing a 3rd team's uniform before his college career is finishedYeah, nor in law either, but that's just me.

Wasn't part of him also leaving him wanting to go to a more NFL-like offense (which is saying a lot in college these days)?Now I really do not want to get into semantics, but Iamaleava left Tennessee because they would not come up with more money and now he is going to end up at UCLA?

I dont a world where UCLA more resembles an NFL like offense than Tennessee. They were just about the lowest scoring offense in D1Wasn't part of him also leaving him wanting to go to a more NFL-like offense (which is saying a lot in college these days)?
