Coming Up from Half Guard (Sprawled Leg)
Use this when the opponent sprawls their far leg away and you cannot get a scoop grip. It solves the problem of being stuck on bottom when the opponent's hips are far from you. The mechanism is staying below the buttocks (not tight waist) to neutralize the whizzer, then bumping them forward onto your shoulder and standing up with a thigh pry to kill their whizzer's power.
