O-line recruiting
- Thread starter sackman
- Start date
Yeah - it's ridiculous. Our offense is going to be lights out.
Some fools just got recruited over.
With the combination of EE, RS, and maybe a GS it will balance out.
Oh, I'm not concerned about it now. I do think about guys like Isaac Miller who have put in a lot of work and done their time and might not see much playing time. Guys who could start at a place like CSU or Wyoming and might get pushed down the depth chart here. That's insane when you stop to consider what our OL situation was like just a couple years ago.
Even coming into this year, the thought was that we hadn't recruited well enough at the position. We had numbers, but quality depth was lacking. My how things have changed in the last three months.

After watching Isaac Miller int he spring game before he went down, he isn't one of the guys that won't get playing time. He is going to be just fine. But generally speaking you're right. There is going to be a lot more competition and depth won't be an issue for years.
I wouldn't jump to many conclusions.
I suspect most of these guys are going to get their opportunity.
I'm not really jumpin to conclusions, merely looking at what is coming in compared to what is here. I agree the guys already here have an advantage because they know the system, their assignments, etc. At some point, raw athletic talent will catch up with experience. I used Miller as an example, but it could just as easily be Lisella or any of the guys who are just starting to come around.
This isn't a bad problem, btw. I'm not complaining if you thought I was. My point is that there are guys in the OL who we thought would be 2-3 year starters and might not play too much based on the level of guys coming in this class.

This is crucial, we are set at de, but need at least two DT's, ellis, daniels, edwards and thompson are my wish list.

Wait, what, Syko wants DT's? When did this start?

Ha! Very important for this team to be stout up front. Especially next year as our secondary is going through early growing pains.
I agree, just joshing you...

You have been saying this since the Jayshon Sykes days.
Syko: "decent class but where are the DTs?"
If you see the impact that Tupou has had on this years defense good evidence he's right.

Well, we've seen this defense when our front is weak, it's not a good look. Someone has to be "that guy" , I enjoy the responsibility.
