Oline '16

[msstate7]

Returning pieces...

Senior
Clayborn
Jenkins
Desper
Calhoun

Could factor in...

Rankin
Williams
Story?

Do you think there's someone that step in at the center position for Clayborn? I think Clayborn is better at guard.

I'd like to see...

Senior/rankin
Clayborn
C?
Calhoun
Jenkins/rankin

Anyone know if there's help on the way?

[Taog Redloh]

I'd like to see us bring in 5 OLs per year, and build 2 full strings of depth, or some similar type of innovation. OL seems to always make us or break us, so I think this would help with the drop-offs. We need more numbers.

[Political Hack]

Id go get the best 3 juco OL I could and tell them to compete. Maybe a juco RB too, but I think we'll be better there next year.

Don't you worry about the OL. I've got this shit.

We need to be hitting JUCOs EVERY year at EVERY position. At least 6-7 per year.

We have the best CC system in the U.S., we are stupid not to use our own built-in advantage.

[Coach007]

We have another juco OT we are working on.

[Coach007]

Next year isn't the major concern! 2017 is the major concern that we have.

[bluelightstar]

Based on Mullen's track record, I sure hope we can beat out Troy and Tulane for him**

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Next year isn't the major concern! 2017 is the major concern that we have.

For those of you who haven't looked, go look at the roster. We will have several Sr's next year, and practically nothing behind them as far as upper classmen that will be on roster in '17. It looks pitiful.

If my memory serves, we've only been bringing in like 3 OL per year for the last few years. So yeah, I agree with you. Sh*t has to change.

Exactly! And that will be a year that we have it all in place.... Except the OL. It could turn into this season!

Starting O-line next year should be:

LT: Rankin, light bulb has come on the last 4 weeks
LG: Calhoun
C: Clayborn
RG: Desper
RT: Jenkins

Trying to get a Juco guard.

I'll be depressed if Desper hasn't been beaten out.

We will be breaking in two new tackles, im not ready to think too hard about next year's OL.

Am I remembering it wrong or wasn't Clayborn better at guard? Any chance Williams is ready next year? Is Thomas gonna be an oline project or a te?

Jenkins has experience. Senior does too

[HancockCountyDog]

Yeah, and as long as we don't play a team with a pulse defensively, we will be fine.

[msstate7]

I can understand you being down on senior, but Jenkins is a freshman, dude. He's gonna be fine

[HoopsDawg]

Thomas is going to play the Hutcherson role as an attached TE.

Williams probably won't be ready next year.

Clayborn was signed to be a Center and he is probably better there than guard. He looked ok as a true freshman at G. He struggled at G last year for a number of reasons.

We should have signed the Juco G that is committed to Minnesota, but offered too late. He could have pushed Desper.

[deltadawg99]

What about Kent Flowers? Are we expecting him back?

I wish we could get Flowers back, if he got his head screwed back on straight, and at least one other juco OL.

[HancockCountyDog]

I can understand you being down on senior, but Jenkins is a freshman, dude. He's gonna be fine

He will be fine, normally by the time he is a RS junior or RS senior. Next year he will just be a RS sophomore who couldn't beat out Rufus Warren this year.

It's the problem of being a developmental program on the OL, guys like Jenkins take time to be ready to contribute at a high level. It's not his fault , he isn't ready.
