4 sophomores and 1 senior? That's not good for an SEC team. We need Sid, Beard, and Holley to sign and make an instant impact.

next year will be extreme<div>
</div><div>We simply have to get a couple of jucos that can play- plus Clausell has got to be ready this season. He did play better the last couple of games- so there is hope.</div>

he just has to get stronger. Holley will start at center and Day will move to guard. We have to sign either Siddoway or Beard, preferably both.

I think he will get some looks at both tackle spots. I seem to remember a few interviews with some of the older offensive linemen that said they were impressed with Day and Muniz.

But yes we need a JUCO OT or 2 in a bad way. I hope he ends up doing great but I just dont see Clausell being a good LT. Here's to him proving me wrong and whooping some asses next year.

If Tobias Smith comes back I feel good about our interior, except for the almost complete lack of depth.

I think Clausell will be ok. I'm sure there will be a few games where he will just be overmatched, but I would think that after the experience he got this year, a summer of hard work will put him in reasonable shape.

If we don't get a good JUCO OT, that looks like a team with a pretty low ceiling. Even if we get a good JUCO tackle, it looks like a team where a key injury is the difference between 8-4 and 6-6 (or worse).

They are solid players too. Just have to grow up.<div>
</div><div>And on Robinson, all those "knocks" on him was BS rebel spew when they didn't sign him. He's a very solid prospect and will be very good for us. </div>

but that's of course, if you listen to 'everybody'. I don't know that I've ever seen a JUCO OL make an immediate impact at MSU.
