As much as I would LOVE to see that, that assumes that Barksdale, O'Dowd and Claytor choose OSU, which I doubt is going to happen. I really hope I am wrong though. :oh::io:

It's possible but I would say we get 2 out of the 3. Plus, I doubt we put Barksdale on the OL with our depth situation at DT. He would make a great OL, however, not at OSU.

as Lee Corso would "not so fast my friend" we'll see how it shakes out, as of today i would pencil him at RG.

Interesting. Of course the staff would know better than me but I just had trouble seeing him at guard here just because of depth. If we can get 2 or 3 other quality DT's that can step in their freshman or redshirt freshman year, that wouldn't be bad because an OL that was mentioned above would be amazing.

the strength of this team at the skill positions is at RB. You want to exploit that strength to its fullest. Hence build up your OL as strong as you can. On paper I can't imagine a more dominant OL than OSU's if people develop like we project them to.

From early reports they were only slated to take one dt. Is Brent going to be the only one they take.

Barksdale and Brent would make a nice 1-2 punch if you ask me. I really like Jeremiah and Hughes in-state, and would gladly take Jeremiah if Brent goes elsewhere.

Speaking of DTs down South. I'd love to see us go hard after Nick Gentry of AL or Jatavious Jackson of FL...or maybe even Micah Grimes, who is starting to pick up some nice offers.
