Anybody else a little worried about this?

Flowers/Isadora are gift no-brainers, but not sure SoFla puts out enough of those no-brainers for us. Are these other kids we're taking really legit... guys who are going to be as good as this group they will be replacing?

Kirkland, Gall, Kinghton would be a very pull in this class and is realistic at this point
 
We already know how Kehoe do it. Either no brainers or projects. Hopefully Golden is aware and basically picks up the slack in the oline dept.


SMH
 
I can see Flowers bailing in 3 years... just would feel better with another stud OT signee to be grooming. Not as worried about OG.

This is the first year in awhile FSU is getting the edge on the Canes here

Kirkland is a pipe dream but if FSU lands him and Tunsil then I will #2 in my pants for a week straight

Isn't Kerr more than likely gonna be a T ?

Kerr is probably a T. Gall a C.
 
Gadbois, Isadora, Flowers - 2012

Knighton, Kirkland, Gall - 2013

McDermott, Darling, ? - 2014

/not concerned
 
I've been saying this all along but this staff is recruiting Kerr as a TE. I don't even think he has the frame to grow into a T. Look at this picture

Knighton and Gall are amazingly underrated. People that have seen Knighton rave about him.

I've made my own feelings on Gall known but he is in the same boat. The people that have seen him can't say enough good things.

All this on the heels of an amazing 2014 OL class too.

Interesting. There were a lot of positive reviews coming from his OT evaluations at the UGA and UF camps over the summer.
 
He could probably play Tackle if it's absolutely needed, but he will start out as a TE
 
That's a tall boy. No telling how big he gets once he's in a college program with a decent training table.

Do we have a training table yet?

Not too concerned but I would like to see juco OL signed every now and then.

You can never have enough quality linemen. I think we are a little thin right now, so 3 this year i think is a minimum we need. I'd be ok with Kirkland, Gall and Knighton....and Kerr as a tweener. He can start at TE and be a blocker and redzone threat, and if he grows in an OT like Winston, that's just a bonus.

Gonna try to be civil here...I don't come here to read about Nole recruiting, nor do I want to read about the Nole perspective on our recruits....so stay in the **** WEZ if you insist on hanging around a cane message board.

Been saying this for months. We need to focus on OL or it will be a weakness right when we expect to be back in the midst of things.
