You sure you wanna make this your first post?Why don't we just slide Zion Nelson inside to C?
So we get a center like this in portal then we have
OT comp: Mauigoa, Bell, Okunkola, Kinsler
OG comp: Cooper, Mauigoa, McCoy, Rodriguez
Mauigoa is starting somewhere most likely tackle unless Okunkola legit steps it up and Bell is looking great. In that scenario it would be:
Okunkola - Mauigoa - Portal - Cooper - Bell
But I think most likely Okunkola portals out in spring and we are looking at:
Bell - McCoy/Rodriguez - Portal - Cooper - Mauigoa
With Rodriguez then SJ then Nino likely being backup center
I have to ask a serious question. If Mario and Alex are so good at developing offensive lineman why haven’t they developed a starting center? This will be three years in a row where we’ve had to go the portal for a center. Are we not recruiting the right guys?
I take it more that they value experience at the position… SJs development should he a layup for Mirabel and MarioThey only recruit OTs. That's not a joke. They move HS OTs to OG. Center is the flaw in the logic, so they've been going after transfers.
I hear you but you’re also making my point. We haven’t developed a center yet to start here? Something is wrong when the O-line is what you hang your hat on. We can’t wait on SJ to develop. Mario is going on year 4.I take it more that they value experience at the position… SJs development should he a layup for Mirabel and Mario

Bingo! You’re spot on.If we land this kid he bridges to SJ who should be ready to go with one year of S&C. What I will admit is they have missed prior to SJ at landing a Center… the kid whose dad was a fan and went to Auburn and Tripp who just left…
Center is a position I feel you can hide with quality guard play… they’ve done an excellent job at the more important positions which is tackle and guard.
Seriously I believe it could be top 5 o-line in nation real talk. Even the first guys off the bench would be great I'm Samson & Kinsler & Rodriguez. Who would chose Oklahoma o-line is trying to get themselves killed. It's a reason Jackson arnold left that ****Without knowing every other OL in the country, it sure looks to be the best **** OL in the country, ... if you follow my logic.
Seriously, what was Mateer thinking, and what QB wouldn't want to play behind our 2 deep OL?

Not big enough for guardWill SJ start at guard? He’s nasty af and can probably play as a freshman
Now that just may be the funniest thing you have ever posted!Mario is such a meathead he has mercenary Centers
They recruited Connor Lew and he flipped so he can learn to fly planes. They also recruited a dude that chose Saban a few days after they offered. Lew would’ve solved a lot of issues n the oline.They only recruit OTs. That's not a joke. They move HS OTs to OG. Center is the flaw in the logic, so they've been going after transfers.
I also would add that obviously typically OLine take more time to develop and before they are ready to play. Typically only the elite recruits are expected to contribute within 2 years. And almost always the truly elite lineman are almost always at OT. Most top centers are rarely more than low 4 star rated. And OT is more valuable by almost all measures (center more than guard tho imo). So if you got a stud you’d want to start him at OF over Og. Plus in the interior you’re going up against DT not Edges as much. It’s just an entirely different level task asking young guys to push around 330lb DT vs 250lb Edges. And the kicker is center is the most cerebral position on the Oline as well.They only recruit OTs. That's not a joke. They move HS OTs to OG. Center is the flaw in the logic, so they've been going after transfers.
You can take it however you want. The reality is that they recruit tackles.
