Just a reminder. Next year we will have 13 returning offensive linemen, 11 of which are on scholarship. In addition, we have four commitments for this year. At some point we're going to have to think about applying the brakes.

Part of me has always thought you can never have enough lineman. I wonder if they're thinking of moving some to the other side of the ball.

We also need to tap the brakes on ST scholarships since we have 6 tied up with Dunham, Johnson, Kenna, Paul, Macek and Moore.

I know DT/DL is the toughest spot to fill, but we need to be in on every kid out there.

It's not gonna happen, that's just not how it works. DT90 (Boutwell's dad) will be the first one to tell you that. We're undersized up front, but our d-line's problem against Indiana was getting sealed off. Not necessarily getting driven back. Same thing would happen, but worse with a converted o-lineman. Ideally you want those guys who have size and the ability to play d-line. Problem is, those guys usually have 10+ offers.

To be honest, I think this kid is my number 1 want left for this recruiting class. If he would've played his junior year he'd have all kinds of offers, including P5s. If you look at our roster, once Antonio Johnson leaves after this season we really won't have a true Left Tackle left. Our other tackles haven't played much at this point in their careers. Harrison Sorge looks like he might be a true LT, but it's hard to gauge the guys who we've seen so little of.

That's the hardest position to recruit at offensive line. The linemen who have the prototypical left tackle size, and have the bend and footwork to play the position are scooped up first, just like 6'4" 250 lb athletic defensive ends, and 6'3"+ stud qbs. The guys who look the part, play the part, and play cornerstone positions like those mentioned. In order for those guys to fly under the radar and fall to us, you need some sort of circumstance, like Bolisomi had by transferring schools and not playing last year. No one knew about him.

This kid is the prototypical size at 6'6" 290, with little bad weight, has long arms, and has pretty good bend. If we can lock him up he could be our LT of the future, if he works hard and we develop him well. He's extremely raw, but he has plenty of tools for a coach to work with. Like BDT said, he'll have other offers, so we need to get in quick and do our best to lock him up.

Army of Dad, please describe what type of DT or NG the staff should be recruiting.

Then send a email to Coach Mac with the answer.

I think Army of Dad is talking about him Bolisomi lining up on D for Ryan.

I hope they do, they need to. They need to experiment with it this year tbh. If we get into any garbage time whether winning or losing throw a big OL out there at DT and see what happens.

I'd rather see Y'Barbo go in as a fullback during garbage time. THAT'D BE FUN. Like a big green snow plow wearing Nikes heading towards the end zone.

Story on the offer:

http://recruiting.scout.com/story/1478214-bolisomi-adds-another-offer

He has two Big12 visits coming up in TCU and Oklahoma State. TCU really is the one that scares me here. They only have 1 o-line commit, and he's an interior guy. Plus, they have a habit of offering kids after we do. Oklahoma State has 3 offensive tackle commits, but 2 are JUCO guys.

For some reason, I'm not seeing anything in your post. And for some reason, I'm feeing that it's not good.

It looks like he went back & deleted the tweet... Just showed all the schools who sent him mail today ... BYU , Oklahoma St & TCU

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
