The Fake Lonnie Finch · January 31, 2012

...we may be able to redshirt more than most of this class again. That bodes well for the future.

Looks like we'll get four full years out of Lemon, Johnson, and Y'Barbo. Throw in the Feldt brothers along the way, and we should be able to redshirt every OL that comes through for a couple more signing periods.

Our 2013 and 2014 OLs should be among the best we've field in our lifetimes.

On the other side, four full out of McCoy, Akunne, Sotjkovic, and Orr isn't too bad a start either.

I think we've really got something in depth buildings. Got to hit the WRs and DTs really hard, though. And, get two QBs next time around, maybe one a JUCO.

My hope is that we can keep the coaching staff together for a couple more seasons as this thing grows.

I loved Bowen, but he was so interconnected to KU. Mangino really screwed things up for him. He was always bound to go back.

I'd love to see Chico's work for a full season with ONE QB starting every game. I mean, think about it. Since Dodge was cut loose, we're 7-10. Chico's been a big part of that.

But, he's had to go some of the way with injured QBs (and centers). What will his offense really look like if a QB can stay healthy for 12 games running his offense?

Also, if we can have two or three receivers start every game as well. Chico really has had to patch this thing together with moving parts - and, he never complains about it.

The guy is a trooper, a real team-first coach. I'd love for him to get a season with a fully healthy set of players, from Game one all the way into the bowl game.

I like it when smart guys provide positive, well thought out and cerebral insight. Invigorates my soul.

I agree; and I wonder if the backup quarterback strategy is to build a good enough offensive line rotation out of this and last year's classes that we can keep our starting QB (yes, cheering for DT here) healthy and productive.
