JUCO tackle visiting UNT

MGB

[eulessismore]

Snow College would be a good pipeline to develop. They have a solid history. Chico coached there for a long time, I think. Connection?

[UNT Mean Green]

Would love to get as many guys up front on both lines as we can in this class! Build it from the inside out

[CaliMeanGreen]

Canales coached at Snow College for many years. Snow College finishes Top 15 every year. It would be great to start the pipeline.

This OL is legit

[H-towngreen]

I still don't understand trying to get JUCO offensive linemen. I guess he doesn't believe in the OLine we have now?

I wonder about this too. I thought online was one of our strengths.

[CurveItAround]

Looking for depth? Didn't we only play 6 guys pretty much last season? Maybe he is planning on shuffling some guys over to DL.

What the ????

Brett is wrong about four returning starters. There are only three but there are already twelve on scholarship and three verbally committed to the offensive line. Maybe there are only eleven since Grant Shaw wasn't on the weight training list.

I can understand wanting to improve your line, if possible, but if the two Jucos are taken then it seems as if you must say 'no room' to two of your three commitments. If Micah Thompson can be moved back to the defensive line maybe that opens up one more spot. Furthermore, LaChris Anyiam is the only senior-to-be. It's very possible that these two JCs are starters...in fact they should be because you don't give scholarships to Jucos to ride the bench.

My concern is that there are other positions that need shoring up worse than the OL. At some point enough has to be enough.

My guess would be that some guys that had scholarships Last year won't have them next year.

Antonio is not the issue -- the other tackle is...

I feldt like someone might make this point...

Anyiam split time with Feeley there this year. I think he will start next year.

[Harry]

OK I hope Anyiam is a stud ----- that would be a plus ---

My point is that Mac said NFL scouts are already talking about Antonio Johnson....he's a big time talent and size kid. He's a legit D-I offensive tackle

"in fact they should be because you don't give scholarships to Jucos to ride the bench"

Brent Osborn says you're mistaken.

[James329]

The o-line was great this year, and you have to have those guys. But if you don't have playmakers it doesn't matter. To turn around a program you have to have an above par system and/or recruit well. Not sure this staff has either. We will see.

As does DQ Johnson.

I see what you did. I wonder if injury for the younger or skill for the older could leave them off the team next year.
