OL Ethan Onianwa (Official Thread)

[billmac91]

He played 1 snap on Saturday. He's barely played more than Ian Moore this year.

I think OSU has knocked the portal out of the park by and large. Combined with their High School recruiting and development, I don't think there's a current fanbase in the country that wouldn't change their situation with us.

It looks like Ethan was a "miss" although he's only a junior and maybe a year of development in the program will make a difference for his senior year? Maybe he ends up transferring again? I don't really know.....that said, PJ Daniels has been a stud and outright won the job. Good for him. Ethan came in with very high expectations, including some draftniks calling him a "potential 1st round pick". We needed help at OT so it made sense in the moment. I don't know....I guess the "quite a swing and miss" seemed a bit harsh to me.

No argument here, but the question is how does one equate the competition at Rice, versus that of tOSU? Always the question when one brings in a star from a lesser league. Certainly agree that tOSU has 'hit' more than 'missed', though Daniels came from a bigtime program (from Minnesota), versus Rice. It also looks like others (Beau) hasn't shown enough to crack the line-up. Not certain I could stand-up to the constant pressure of doing well, (a la Tegra), on a daily basis. Knowing there's at least two-three others champing at the bit to bypass me. And, just as a PS, watch Sayin, who's lighting it up, and wonder how Day could say that Keinholz was neck-in-neck with Sayin in the QB derby. Baffling for sure, but wife said it's 'coach speak', to keep him from transferring etc.
