OL Preview 2017

Post by scott715 »

For spring practice

Starters:
Tuni Kanuch, Tejan Koroma, Ului Lapuaho, Keyan Norman, Thomas Shoaf

Other players to watch:
Kieffer Longson- was a 4 star recruit and is about the same size as Hoyt
Austin Chambers- was a 3 star recruit with multiple p5 offers
Zac Dawe- a really good athlete who at 275 lbs ran a sub 5 second 40
Chandon Herring- 3 star player with good size
JJ Nwigwe- has been in the program last 2 years and has seen action
John Vaka- Im not 100% sure he is in school yet, but he will make an impact when he does. He had multiple P5 offers and was committed to Oregon.

Missing some of the transfers coming in. The line looks very deep.

My feeling is that the OLine will be slightly better this year with an extra year in the system, but that the talent upgrade won't result in a huge step forward....until next season. I think 2018 is the year where the Line finally matches the hype.

If this is true, there are going to be a bunch of people calling for Tanner's backup to play this year.

I hope the coaches are consistent as they were last year with Taysom. Pick a starter and unless he's completely outmatched, make it work.

Having said that, who is most likely going to be backing Tanner up?

Tanner is and should be the guy next year no matter what the fans say, Just like Taysom was last year. My guess is that Hoge will be the backup.
