I haven't watched him but Oklahoma was hoping he was going there. If we didn't have Mario/Mirabel then their OL coach, Bedenbaugh, would be the next best in my opinion.
PFF rated him the third highest C in the country last year and the best offensive player on UCF, a team that would have smacked us last year.
5 star freshmen actually start quite a bit now as they usually come in quite developed physically.
Is zion just waiting for a spring graduation to transfer ?
We sure about this after year 1? They continued to play justice even though he was getting abused out there. It took a season ending injury for them to replace him.
Texas started a freshman offensive lineman this year to great success.
Yes, but when an OL is weak and injured and incapable of creating gaps for the RB it is stupid to keep setting the offense up in tight or even bunch formations for short yardage and goal line plays as it allows the D to stack up and fill in all gaps, and the OL is not good enough to get any push.. Yet Gattis kept doing that over and over resulting in failed redzone visits and 3rd down conversions. With a decimated OL its better to spread wide so even when the OL gets overpowered at least there is some room for the RB to try and find a gap.
I thought Cooper was the backup and shined when justice went out. Seymoure only played because Jakai went down late. I could be mistaken though.
But but Zion was projected high nfl pick.
I know what you're saying, but the line is a little better than 7-5. Last year we were filled with G5 level scrubs. That OL would be a huge upgrade over the last 5 years and bring OL from a weakness to a consistent unit that doesn't lose us any games.
I don’t think people realize how bad the OL recruiting was. We actually had 2 centers and 3 guards starting the first game last year. Look how the body types have changed.
