Nick Brooks - Florida

[DanielOnorato]

Nick Brooks should never play guard in my opinion. He is too tall to deal with the lateral speed of interior defenders coming up out of his stance.

Brooks should solely be developed at tackle.

Any thoughts on Brooks at guard?

33 for UF was whipping anybody in front of him

He doesn't have measurements to play LT.   All of these misses at LT in recuiting is showing... Plus all the miss evals on big humans...

Coaches need to check their egos and admit their 3 star evals were terrible, and they need to scrap everything but the freshman/ sophomores.   Need to start from scratch at 4 positions if Goosby returns. 5 stars are 5 stars for a reason ala Kelvin Banks. They need to spend what they need to spend on the lines and not take anything like winning for granted.

Fasusi would probably start today.  But it was okay to let him go north of the Red River because he didn't wanna compete for the starting spot and you're getting Turntine in the '26 class.  Would've won the job this spring.

That and look for already developed SEC bodies searching for a new home on the OL. I don’t trust us to homegrow our OL at the moment.

He's at LT for OU right? He would not have won that job here.

He would start at RT.  John Mills looks nice at Washington too

Why don't you think he has the measurements to play tackle at 6'8 360 lbs? I see him as a Cam Williams low end or Bryant McKinney high end. On the interior I think it's tough for him against shorter guys on the interior who can get off quicker when his hands in the ground. I view Daniel Cruz, Jackson Christian, Hutson, Campbell , Robertson and Nate Kibble as their best bets as prototype guards. Goosby, Baker, Brooks as their best tackles but I could be wrong.

OU offered more NIL I believe.

Imagine the situation at guard being so bad that Flood has to plug a true freshman OT in a left guard to try and plug the hole. What guards did he think he was grooming to take over these past three years?

Crazy how many offensive line experts and future tellers are in this thread.

Crazy you continue to have this attitude when the product on the field is atrocious. Like dude come on, use your eyes and be objective. Or should we continue to “trust the coaches” that are 100% responsible for this mess?

He started a ginger at OG, and you just don’t come back from that kind of eval.

The worst eval is having Hutson be beat out by Campbell after a year of starting as a freshmen and thinking that guy is starting center material after he’s been on campus for 4 years.
