Spring practice will always be spring practice, its pointless to start bitching this damn early. And yeah, Moon probably sucks. So what. So do 40-50% of OL that have signed with any school, ever. It's a difficult position to evaluate and always will be. Let it play out with what we have on hand in August before losing your shit, folks.
Not really. He brought in Suggs who I agree will be pretty good. But then he has a grade risk in Cooper and a project in Richardson from the high school ranks and that's it. Then from the JUCO ranks he has two guys that we'll probably have to redshirt from what I have heard after missing out on our top JUCO RT target that we needed so we wouldn't have to start an underclassman there. And yes, I know there is a good chance that Cooper makes it and I think if he does he will be good but that's not how you want to live in recruiting- hoping you find a bunch of guys that are grade risks and then hoping for the best.

And you are right about it being a difficult position to evaluate- that's why we need to bring in five a year from the high school ranks and not three. Especially if we're redshirting JUCO o-linemen anyway. Sure some of those five won't pan out, but you process them and hopefully at least 2-3 do pan out in a class and then after you process out then you go get a JUCO guy or two.
