Yappo has no hands. Can't hold if you ain't got hands.

We need to be focused on graduate transfer offensive linemen and defensive linemen. A tall pro style QB would be nice too.

Sorry to hear about the accident, but I do hope the lawnmower is ok. I was hoping after a 4 year mission trip to Cabo and an 8 year minor league baseball career that we would have a shot at getting Yappo this time. Heard it's down to us or Tennessee, but he may not be interested in coaching at UT. Whole new way to look at generational talent.

I have no idea. It all depends upon how each one of them reacts when they get onto campus.
I once heard O'Leary comment that linemen on both sides are the hardest to project overall for early playing time. He said that, for the most part, these guys are usually so much bigger than everybody they play against that they're used to just physically dominating their opponents across the line. He said that in the first couple of full-pad practices, when they get hit really hard by someone who is just as big, if not bigger than they are, you will know pretty quickly if that kid has a chance at early playing time or not. He said some retreat into their shell like a turtle and others get mad and fight back. The ones who fight back are the ones who have a shot.

What daBuzz sed.
Best guess, not knowing that, is whoever is strongest when they walk onto campus. Remember they are just starting their senior year. They are still growing, as well as developing as technicians.
With no other information, I would guess Koot is the meanest, and has the best chance as a true Frosh.

Usually takes longer for OT to learn technique and it's much more riskier on the QB having someone inexperienced in one of those spots. I would guess Rankins, Green, and Williams most likely redshirt. Also Quinney and DeFoor will be back.
As for C and OG, 2 started will be gone after this year. Maye and Hansen will be first two guys up, but a freshman can likely come in and earn a spot. Howard, Koots, and Spiers IMO all have a shot to earn some significant minutes.

How could that be when last season he was named second-team all-state as an OL?
Over 20 offers including BC, Miss St, Miami, Maryland, Wake Forrest. Others
All good. Green is still getting used to his size. He's an awkward guy and will take a lot of work.
