Early Off—Season Thread

[tmhunter52]

Now that the season is over (figuratively, if not literally), looking at OL potentially returning next year, and if currently committed, but unsigned, OL recruits do enroll at Tech, and if there are no injuries carrying over into the season, what will our starting (yes, I know, ATL) OL be at kickoff next fall?

Quinney
Hansen/Defoor
Vaipulu/Kootsourdis
Defoors/ Cooper
Jordan Williams/ Michael Rankins

Hanson and Cooper injuries need to heal. Only played half year.
Still young.
Note cgc said the ol transfer from Vanderbilt played almost every down.
Hint?

 

[Swarm_764]

Need to get old and stay old on the OL. Going to take a few years to get where we need to be.

If UNC can make it work i don’t see why we can’t. This nice balance of upperclassmen and new guys

It will depend a lot on QB development as well. UNC has stumbled into what appears to be a really good QB and pairs that with the OK OL. We have a lot of improvement to do at that position to see overall improvement even if the OL gets better.

I like this one. I think Koots will all but surely play from day 1. Possibly the other 2 as well.

 

[33jacket]

I think quinney and defoor lock down left side

Cgt on right all up in air. I can see a fresh rt and g. But maybe a returning c since key has his c make the checks with the qb

 

[JacketOff]

Even a marginal improvement in OLine play will open up a lot (or should). Key is a good OLine coach, and there should be massive decrease in missed assignments, and hopefully the S&C program keeps developing players. With the talent at the skill positions that will be available next year, it will give a good feel on whether or not Pnude should continue to be the guy. Mason and Griffin could both be special (hopefully Gibbs comes and joins that duo also), and surely Graham won’t regress any over the off-season, and he will still have to out perform both Gleason and Yates. Camp, Ezzard, and Dolphus will all be back alongside Brown who has shown he has the speed to be special. There’s reason to believe next season could end in a bowl game, even with the tough schedule.

Surprised there's no mention of Jahaziel Lee in any of these predictions.

But both he and Cooper will be redshirt seniors and probably won't be back if they graduate.

 

[Tech93]

Feel Lee will play DL. Really hope P Nut is the right O coordinator going into next year, but not convinced

Is this a joke?

I kind of hope that we're starting a new OC. The current one isn't the best, to say the least.

 

[Jim Prather]

If we have 2-3 true freshman starting next year, it is going to be a looong year again...

An improvement over walk-ons, no? Plus, the veterans will have experience in the new blocking schemes and will be able to help the young guys along. Unlike this year, when everyone was a freshman in practical terms.

There are other threads for that conversation.

May be best to wait till after the spring game or even fall practice to know who we have and if anyone is hurt. ( But I guess we don't like to wait )

I think everyone is assuming Lee will be a full-time DL next year
