And let the dead weight head out the door. Then deliver us a LT for next season and an adequate kicker and punter maybe. I'll take a good safety too.

We need speed bad, not sure what our OL will look like next fall but if we don't get a few JUCO's and portal guys it may be liking.
Our defense is exceptionally slow. Especially at LB and S. No pass rushers is a speed thing too really.Quote:

No. We signed Cross out of high school. But yeah, we got our RT from the portal.Quote:

More speed at LB and Safety would definitely be nice.Quote:

Big difference in SEC competition compared to JUCO. one of the NJCAA National Leaders in Sacks is Rish Alford a 5 10 190 lb DL at East Central. It is very hard for a JC OL to contribute much less start his first year.
Nick Jones is 6-3 300 , hopefully he is ready to contribute next year at about 315
We need more speed at rb too.
I don't, not at LT. I think we need a portal guy. Lewis will be a solid OL though with a year. We'll see. This system really works OL over. It's hard to pass block every play. It's different.Quote:

Leach had some good Ot at WSU that were under the radar 6-5 guys that played basketball, long arms, good footwork, natural pass blockers. Redshirted, bulked up in the weight room. Much different than a smash mouth run blocking O line.Quote:

He is 305 and a very good pass blocker.
Retooling the o line , hopefully Albert Reese and Nick Jones are ready. Yes we need to hit the portal. Lashley is so bad there is no way we can’t improve there IMO.
So who plays OL next year for us?
We lose three starters, and we know what Rogers can do if he is given time.
But the offense doesn?t work of the OL is below average. I don?t like the options on the roster.
I see 4 wrs and 1 qb among the list of commitments in next yrs class. 2 ot.Quote:
