I think I found Sherrod's replacement. Archie Muniz.

That kid is a baller. His Junior film from Scout is impressive. He was playing at 230 and still dirt-rolling bitches. I think he is up to 240 now and you can expect him to put on some real weight during a redshirt year. I really hope we turn him.

His star rating (2) is a good example of a problem with the system. Granted, it is just a highlight clip, but I really think he is every bit as good as Robinson (technically). Obviously, Robinson has a big edge on him in the weight department. I still think Muniz merits a 3-star.

Regardless, I hope we finish with Robinson, Muniz and Day on the OL. That would be a very promising group (if you haven't seen Day's video, you should).

Edited to add: Muniz is apparently up to 260 now per an interview on Scout.

It'll be interesting to see if we can make him flip.

and that sumbitch is looking to drive people into the ground. He's got a streak, no doubt.

That was one mean sunovabitch on the football field.

Per BDJ, Muniz was quoted as saying that a chance to play in the SEC "might play a big factor".

when it comes to offensive linemen. It's not hard to spot an Andre Smith or a Michael Oher, but that's all they're good for. Just look at the NFL and where a lot of the linemen are from. Idaho St, Eastern Michigan, Toledo, etc.

Damien Robinson's coach think he ends up at RT or maybe even Guard. So yeah, I would love to get Muniz. Steve had him at 25% though.

here is where they are from: Purdue, Fresno St, Boston College, Cal-Bakersfield, and Toledo. 2 star prospects.

it's ALL about development. O-line and QB are the two positions where guys almost have to be RS.

That's why it is so critical to have a good o-line coach and strength and conditioning coach.

Fortunately, I think we have both right now.

 

[Columbus Dawg]

it's all about evaluation, development, and a little luck.

Here's some 2009 All-Pro's for you: Ryan Clady, Boise State; Michael Roos, Eastern Washington; Kris Dielman, Indiana; Jahri Evans, Bloomsburg Universtiy (wtf). The rest are basically Boston College or Big 10 alums.

A lot of OL success is based on footspeed and attitude. Intelligence also seems to play a factor - most NFL level OL come off as being pretty smart guys

Jackie loved Donovan Davis because he had small ankles.
