This is a great article. I've been having a lot of success with the camping/high-leg passing that Gordon has been using--especially the high-leg where you post on far shin and far shoulder and end up in their North-South. Leg drags have also been a great option for opponents who are stingy with the elbow-knee space. From their I can go to honeyhole, tight-waist pass, or back take.
And 100% - I think Gordon’s camping and high-leg passing has to be one of the biggest changes to the passing meta right now.
It’s signals a big tactical shift as well, encouraging practitioners to apply pressure in positions where traditionally it would make sense to go straight for the pin.
I’m definitely also down the leg drag rabbit hole at the moment, and also specifically in the context of how it can be used against a tight knee elbow connection. Levi Jones Leary has a whole system from there on Submeta and it is so clean.

Really glad you enjoyed!
