Anyone else think we have no idea what the offensive line will look like? With three JUCOs and Jolly coming in, plus freshmen, it's hard to know who will end up where.

So this is a guess, and only a guess. Am I close?

LT: Pursley, Jolly
LG: Natour, Smith
C: Howerton, Dennis
RG: Dennis, Todora
RT: Livingston, Morris

Jolly was RT at Wyoming... I wouldn't discount the strides that Wilds was making. I think he is in the rotation somewhere. In fact, if he can continue his improvements, there is a chance you could see Livingston backup Pursley at LT because it is his eventual position, and Jolly and Wilds fight it out at RT.

The other positions I think are spot on.

With the JUCOs, Jolly, the newcomers this year and next year's commits, i would bet there are some OLs getting nervous.

Or getting ready to transfer....

I don't think we have been watching the same Wilds.

Is Howerton really 260........Ali 270? If Jolly comes in and leapfrogs the last couple classes of recruits that's pretty sad, especially since Jolly apparently couldn't even keep his job at Wyoming.

Those new OL weight numbers are shocking.

Those are the weights from the 2017 season roster. They have not been updated.

I believe Howerton will become one of our best offensive linemen ever.

Wow, now that's saying something. I hope you're right (and I tend to think you know way more than most ... on this matter).

I didn't mean to leave out Wilds, Ali or Barton.
Time for a 6 man (at least) line.

Funny how you should mention this, I was torturing myself last night and watching some of last year's game with navy. Howerton was getting beat like a borrowed mule in that game. Too bad we couldn't have redshirted him last year.

.....and those are Navy DLinemen.....can only imagine what Ed Oliver or the other bigger/better ACC DT's do with 260-270 lb OLinemen

SMU is in the ACC now?

Congrats to Sonny! Already moving us up

Evan Brown struggled a bit his true freshman year as well. The fact that he was playing ahead of all of the other highly rated Morris OL recruits either indicates they were all busts or that he is going to be a really good player. I'd put my bets on the latter, and that he will have an exceptional season with a year in a college weight program.
