    LT: Pounders, LG: Percy Lewis, C: Miner, RG: Albert Reese/Portal, RT: Leon Bell/Portal

    Marlon Martinez is an LSU transfer who played a good bit for them the last several years. He could factor in at one of the guard spots.

    OL is definitely a strength

    Has Lewis ever played guard? Seems he would move to RT. Bell didn't play this season did he? We don't know if he can play. Reese hasn't played a ton.

    Talk is that he's making the move to guard.

    Bell played in 3 games.

    Reese played at both RG and RT this year and looked better at guard

    The transition from tackle to guard isn?t hard. Percy is more of a guard than tackle. Bell should?ve played over both Lewis/Dolla Bill this past year.

    Really like hitting the oline. Where do we turn our attention to in the portal now?

    Still need a lot of help. Need another guard. Need a legit TE. Need a couple of receivers. Then need absolutely everything on defense.

    Since we will most likely struggle next year anyway, should we throw money at HS guys? My reasoning is it's supposedly cheaper to hold guys than pull em.

    Signing day is Wednesday. It's basically too late. But yeah, if there are any close calls.

    Can't control what the rest of the SEC does. For us, it's looking like it'll be a strength. Oklahoma lost their entire OL. Other teams are rebuilding too. Point is, we don't know.

    If Dinkins and Williams are back then we will be ok on the line, probably need some depth guys. Might need another LB, and definitely need some help in the secondary.

    I think struggle is a matter of perspective. Are we going to win 10? No. But can we win 6-8? I believe we can
