We signed Osborne last year, which was light with just one but we are re-stocking now. OT has not suffered through anything like the quality/quantity drought at LB between the classes of 2010 and 2015. Good lord, you'd think arty some point you'd just admit you're wrong and move on.

I think Wright could go inside too if needed. Yup. Wright is a swing OT/OG guy. Even if we miss on Coffee we may still add yet another juco OT to the class.

Will be interesting to see if the other 2 jucos become priority over Robinson if that happens since we may want 1 more true OT in the class.

I’m just not sure we take Robinson too. I think (imo) it was one of the other Wright or Robinson. For balance sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said we'd be ok for 2019 and we are. Two months ago I said that measures would be taken to address 2020 and 2021 and those measures are being taken. Since we seem to be ever so desperately searching for something to criticize, "Lord" should be capitalized. I'll just ignore your typo, everybody needs a little slack cut for them every now and then.

ellitor 33,094 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 OP updated. Coffee may need to sure up his academics to be an early enrollee before AU would take him. No sense in bringing in jucos to compete to start game 1 if they aren't here for Spring ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense in bringing in jucos to compete to start game 1 if they aren't here for Spring ball. I agree 100% with this. Most (but not all) of these JUCO prospects are in JUCO because of high school grade issues. If they haven't straightened that issue out in time to report for Spring practice at their next school, they pose too much of a risk. "JUCO's don't sign to redshirt". The flip side of that is colleges don't want to sign JUCO's that can't show up early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like if we take another OL in the class it will be at OT if Cohen is ok with it. We appear to be done at OG with landing Wright. Names to potentially watch at OT are 3* jucos Brandon Coleman & Tairiq Stewart plus a big, athletic newbie to football in Darius Gaddy. 19 minutes ago, McLoofus said: Do any of the guards committed or targeted project as a strong candidate to play center?

CameronCrazy 1,062 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I hope we hold the final spot for a big-time HS Offensive Tackle - Omari Thomas, Jalen Rivers, Marcus Dumerville, etc. You never know which one of these guys we can make a run at if we have a big season. I would also be happy with Chris Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with all 22 positions on the field, if some super prospect wants to commit at the last minuet we will have room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it, we will have had three left OT’s drafted (Robinson, Coleman, Tega). If you wanted you could also include Golson. I don’t think we have had a starting left OT not drafted with Gus. Maybe I am missing one that didn’t get drafted though. Am I? Mental block at the moment.
