Ok exactly how many O lineman do we need currently?? 

I've not spoken directly to staff, but if you look at what he did while at UIW and how he built it.  They had 15/16 or so OL on scholarship.  Reason being, need a starter/back up at each position *sure if one of those 6-10 is better than other option at said position they could move them but you'd like them to train and become an expert at that one position* then you have the 3rd OL at each position as your developmental guy.  Allowing you to build sustainability.

I like what Keeler did at Sam Houston last season. To get ready for the move and to build depth he redshirted several players, including some upperclassmen (who wanted to play when they moved up). Then in every game he played different redshirt groups so they could get actual game experience in 4 games. I think this would be a great option to help build depth and to keep the players motivated, but still maintain the 4 years.

Pretty good offer list. Second Team All-American guard at the DII level. We seem to be pretty stacked at guard. Georgia Tech transfer Vaipulu, Gabe Blair, and Febechi Nwaiwu already on the spring roster. Plus Miner the Arkansas State starter transferring in at Center. Will be interesting to see how the competition plays out.

Flipped his commitment to Duke. So long, young man!

Duke has only brought in three players via the transfer portal that have stuck on the roster thus far, but they convinced an FCS All-American Offensive Lineman to flip his commitment from University of North Texas today."

I bet we tried to blueshirt or greyshirt and he jumped on a better offer. Or he just didn't want to sign waiting on better offers. Which ever, whatever...

How was he not already signed??

He was committed and scholarship #48 was reserved for him (per JD's list).  So, per his list, there are two scholarships left to give.

I do not believe transfers "sign." They are official once they are enrolled.

Correct Transfers do not sign NLI's so they need to get on campus to be official.
