Should we assume we are losing a lot on the OL?

Yeah it’s crazy. 6 guys with significant starting experiences who have eligibility remaining and yet this has been by far the staff’s biggest priority in recruiting.

One of the things I had commented on about air raid coaches is they sometimes seem to focus on offense and not as much defense. Hopefully it turns around, but I hoped to see more emphasis on defensive help in the portal.

It all starts up front.

a good offensive O-line can make a good qb great and average qb good.

I don't understand so many offensive linemen but we did lose a center so this offer makes sense.

We badly need to build quality depth at OL. We aren’t recruiting freshmen OL who are ready to play for the most part (typically most aren’t), so we need some immediate impact guys to help us while our youth develops.

Losing Manase. Hearing chance you lose Carroll and Brown. From graduation and Injury. Not to mention this team was already lacking OL depth on a Division one level.

Waiting on defense transfers since that was our weakness for 4 yrs

I get it, but can you comment on the player this thread is about perhaps?  It's disrespectful to his family and friends to  ignore that he just committed to us and bitch about defense.  thx

I think Morris said one of our biggest weaknesses was OL depth. Manase's cousin (I can't spell his name) and Ethan Miner should address our loss at Center. 

I bet we have more defensive additions after spring ball. Hopefully we have a few surprises on signing day.
