UTEP starting center. Played 3 years at Austin Peay, then went to UTEP when they hired AP coach. Probably not a plus SEC player, but probably a starter for us.
Got another decent OL transfer today.
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
Maybe. Seems to believe he will be anyways. The guy that just left was 6'3 320 and rated an 88. They say we are adding size and strength to be bigger and better. Are we ??

It’s a little better than last transfer window. But yeah, no difference makers.
I will give them credit for trying. The Virginia guy might be an improvement. The others ain't gonna look good against Texas DL tho...lol.
Yeah, I appreciate the effort and I’m not exactly saying anything new here, but holy cow. This complete flurry of Spring O line activity is making me think that Lebby didn’t believe we had more than 1-2 guys worth a dime in March

We didn’t. OL recruiting in December was a disaster. What we’ve picked up the last couple days is pretty mediocre, but a huge improvement.
Yeah, at this point the goal probably isn’t much more than trying to narrow the gap between us and whoever has the 15th best O line in the SEC
Just my opinion, but this mad scramble signing zero star guys absolutely undermines any fantasy i had about OL improvement this year. A few people on this board were not fans of our previous OL coach. I think they have been proven correct. This new guy is shuffling chairs best he can I guess. At least he knows he has to make changes
It doesn't look good. We could actually lose to USM in the opener and/or Northern Illinois. I don't think we will, but we really could. Only game I'm comfortable winning is the I-AA game. I think 3-9. But it could be worse.
OL will 100% be better than last year. It won't be hard to achieve.
God you’re a true trooper! How could it be worse? Literally tell us, how could it be worse? Find anything to **** on anything. No optimism at all, just piss on everything you can.
Instead of half of the line going the wrong direction, all six go in different directions. *
Welcome to college footballl now gentlemen. Tale I’m not trying to be ugly, but damn, you’ve seen how this game is going! Sucks, but that what’s we deal with now. So … have faith and get on board, or let’s just go 1-11 this year. Not being smart, but … could it be worse that last year???? Have a little optimism as a &tate alum … though it’s hard to fathom sometimes.

Well, for one thing the SEC schedule will be even tougher. And we haven't brought in any difference makers on OL.
Floor is 2 wins, Ceiling is 5 wins. There will be much huffing, puffing, and BS in between. Team is upgraded, like going from a Ford Pinto to a Yugo.
Haha, floor is 1, man, and that's the fighting mcnairs. I don't think we're getting out of Hattiesburg alive, and NIU could do us like Toledo.
Very possible, I could see USM jumping all over a Lebby coached team. They are decent, just added another good edge player But lost Simmons to Utah.
