Parker Braun ESPN True Freshman All American Team

Me too, I knew Braun would be good but Lee and Cooper are ALOT better than I anticipated.

Something to keep in mind with Braun, Cooper, and Lee. All three didn't have the benefit of a full off season in a college weight room environment. During the season, SAs don't get the time to work on improving themselves physically as much as they do during the off season. They were playing off of pure talent this season.

Scary to think what their ceiling can be once they're fully developed and have been in our system playing together.

A concern albeit a small one. We didn't get a chance to redshirt any Olineman this past season. This could impact us when these 3 exhaust their eligibility by not having a 5th year senior that following year.

It was either going to affect us this year or four years from now...might as well play the best guys you've got.

Cooper looked like he got a lot bigger from HS to Tech.

Coaches have 3 years to recruit for this group, so it's not that big of an issue. We have 3 OLs slated to come in this year. Then there's redshirting new signees. Easier to balance out the OL group when you have 3 years to work with. Harder to do when guys transfer or quit their JR/SR years.
