WFE12 9,191 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I would say we don’t want to throw him into a bad situation too early but when is it gonna get better? Senior laden o-line leaves a lot to be desired and next year there will be more freshman. Plus depending how the rest of this year goes (not looking the best) there might be some changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year will finally be new offensive personnel pretty much all over, but definitely at OL. We'll probably trot Geriner and the new OL out there together to build chemistry. Tank will be gone. It's gonna be a new era whether BH is still here or not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys on the bench, walk-ons, HS recruits, Juco recruits, portal recruits..... maybe people called down from the stands. I don't know, but what I do know is that we're losing like 4 starters, so unless we plan on forfeiting the season due to having no OL, there will be new people playing on the OL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the imaginary recruits go, when will this recruiting surge start? As you well know, that was my original question. You said a new O-line will be out there next year. When will we start getting those O-line people in? Or do you seriously think we are going to go with walkons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will we start getting those O-line people in? Or do you seriously think we are going to go with walkons? New OL can include younger guys currently on roster. They will just be "new" because they haven't started before. I think there's a solid chance that Tate Johnson (C), EJ Harris (G), and Colby Smith (RT) all start next year respectively. Stutts, Jones, and Wright could all come back to compete with Harris for the guard spots. Too early to know. Theoretically, the only position where I'm pretty certain our starter is not on roster right now is LT. Smith is the only guy with the potential to do it, but I don't think he's got the feet or bend right now. For new guys, we need 4 HS, a 5th if the right guy is available. 2 Juco OT's to backup at each OT spot. 2 portals (LT and swing), but possibly up to 4 depending on roster circumstances. Do Stutts and Jones return, does Tate play well enough to lock down center, does one of Jernigan or Irvin return to back him up at center, etc. I'm definitely pessimistic on new OL recruits coming in, so I'm with you there. HS is highly important, but that's a long-term play. Instant impacts will have to come from Juco and portal, and those two markets won't really kick off big time until December. We are in talks with a few Juco's, but they can't visit until December when their seasons are over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too early to know. Something isn't right with Jones. In his early years at AU he under performed and now he seems to be slipping back. I'll be really surprised if he doesn't enter the portal before Christmas break. He's capable of a lot more than what he's been doing lately. I have a friend who subscribes to some sort of site where NFL scouts grade college guy's performance. Jones graded out as "poor" in the SJSU game. I think the only player rated below Jones was Ashford at QB but I'm not sure exactly what they are basing their grades on. Some guys I thought had a good game only graded "average" or "below average". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys I thought had a good game only graded "average" or "below average". He's a weird case. 2020 he seemed to show promise in the run game but a poor pass set. Last year he apparently really cleaned up his pass set and continued to do well. This year he has looked bad when he gets in. He's played worse than Council, which with all respect to Council, is tough to do. Maybe he's still working through that injury he had at the beginning of camp, because I'm with you, his drop off seems puzzling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
