Rumor is Austin Golsen may be leaving the tabernacle. He was expected to start at RT this year. Gonna be a big blow to their crusade this year.

Has he grown tired of the beautiful women?
Tunsil and Treadwell are the key to their season. Their defense should be pretty good.
It's confirmed... He's out, possibly transferring and sitting out at Auburn. Odd for a guy to give up a starting job, just to sit out and miss time. I thought Auburn was doing okay on the OL front.Quote:

This is a frigging huge puzzle piece missing for them. He may not have all of Tunsil's accolades -- but as of today, they've got NO ONE else to play tackle...Quote:

As of now, they only have few proven linemen on their entire team- and the two best are coming off of pretty significant injuries.
Jeremy Liggins to OL?? HAHAHAH
Maybe his girlfriend broke up with him, didn't she also get a scholly to Ole Miss?
It can be terrible with Tunsil still playing left tackle if they can't get anyone else to be decent on the other end...
As of today, it's looking like they will be counting on a JUNE-enrollee JUCO for the right tackle spot -- and have literally nothing for depth at the spot beyond him...
Well, everyone thought they were razor thin in 2012, they managed to get through it and made it to a bowl.
Yeah, but just making it to a bowl this year will be a big disappointment for them.
I wonder if Freeze's offense caught a lot of people off guard at first though.Quote:

Yep... They are melting... And rightly so...
That's the one position that they absolutely could not afford to lose anybody...
wow.. Kid is committed to FSU for over a year. One visit to Oxford and signs with Bears. Year later he is gone. Could have been on a National Championship team with probably 4 years left to play.
Almost as bad as a decision as another Golson that didn't take the 7 figures to play baseball for the red sox..
You think both Golson's may want a Do-Over.....??????
Closer to home says SB Nation? Not sure how he's going to accomplish that, Alabama and Auburn aren't going to get him. Florida State probably won't either. So exactly how is he going to accomplish this? The 'home' excuse sounds like damage control on the rebel front to me.
Auburn will probably take him...he'll just have to go JUCO for a year...
It's not hard for 4* OTs to find a home...
Interesting. I'm sure the tsun nation will say his replacement is so much better-maybe even an All American. They will keep the spin going.
Not on this one...Quote:

Not only does this clearly hurt them for this year and the next couple of years, but it also puts another hole in that 2013 class. They also lost Christian Morgan and Kailo Moore and Lavon Hooks look like they aren't nearly as good as advertised. So now, outside of the top 4 (who are all legitimate talents), their top players from that class are Mark Dodson, Devante Kincaide, and....Derrick Jones? Jordan Wilkins? Ryan Buchanan? Davion Johnson?
Those top 4 are great talents and good enough that their recruiting class should still be considered very good overall, but I don't understand why people are saying, 'Ole Miss has tons of talent and is ready to break out'. They basically have typical Ole Miss talent except for those 4 guys. I guess some just see that their class was top 5 in 2013 and assume it was loaded all the way through. In reality, they got 4 #1 guys and it was somewhat top-heavy then; now it's definitely very top-heavy.
maybe Coach Davis at Co-Lin can get on this kid..
What happened to Hooks.????Quote:

This is the second former FSU commit to leave olemiss soon after they get to campus. Golson was the number three tackle prospect in the country and played quite a bit last year as a true freshman, so playing time is definitely not an issue in this case. I'm starting to wonder if oxford and olemiss are actually the wonderful places that I have been led to believe they are. Something is up in o-town.
Thin OL will be their ready made excuse if they underachieve.
Why the heck would anyone leave the most prestigious football program in NCAA history***???
Top heavy things tend to fall over rather easily.Quote:

That class looks very top-heavy now- although they may have a few more good prospects who redshirted that we don't know about.Quote:

I guess Robert D better learn some offensive line skills now.
