There's a reason why LG has been identified as an issue while Horton has been working at RG during spring. Horton = solution. He remains a possible solution as are the other 8 or 9 guys who may start on the line but he doesn't unequivocally = solution until he is starting & does so at a high level. I just want the best 5 combo to start. If he's in that group then grea!. I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Heck YES! Since OL seems to be our biggest question mark on the team, any depth is helpful. Welcome to the family. Like all of you it seems it would make more sense to bring in a top OT (and I know we tried) so we can move BS back to guard. It will be interesting to see what we do with this line.

thaitopher 807 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 This makes me wonder if that O line recruiting class we had a couple years ago with Tyler Carr and Kaleb Kim is a complete bust. None of those guys have gotten any meaningful playing time yet. Maybe they will shine as seniors. Who knows. Edit: not a complete bust. Just saw that Harrell and Horton were a part of that class and they have a good chance to start this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Ha! @ellitor, in that sense, Jarrett Stidham isn't a solution either. Same for Derrick Brown. Right? Since they haven't started here, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCrazy 1,042 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I think our depth this year is going to exceptional. I wish we would have landed a solid graduate transfer OT. I don't think we're going to have any trouble on the interior of the line. The issue continues to be at Tackle. Let's hope Calvin Ashley lives up to his billing or one of the Prince's steps it up in fall camp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weagl1 1,780 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I really think this is just a depth thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,236 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I don't know how excited to get about this guy. I read he was replaced by a true freshman and then a R'S freshman. I guess we'll find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,466 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 This may mean we whiffed on the OL guy from the Left Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff taking Bell Friday & not waiting 2 weeks when Cochran makes his decision tells me that it likely wasn't a whiff on Cochran. It was either first come-first serve or they wanted Bell more.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 What was this young man rated coming out of HS? My guess he was a 4 Star rated lineman. Maybe a change can be good for this young man and he can thrive in a different system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
