With Day, Beckwith, and Clausell gone after this year, does anyone have any thoughts on how the OL will look next year?

It will look like five men whose heights and weights are well above the average for the general population. They will have maroon jerseys when we are playing in Davis Wade and white jerseys for away games.

Desper and Jamal will battle for center, one will go to guard. Jocquel Johnson,

Kent Flowers, Jake Thomas, Calhoun, Carter, Jenkins, Warren, Senior. Plus we will probably add one or two juco, we should be able to put together a serviceable line and we will have play makers in the skill positions.

Possible, he has the body it appears but as you know it is difficult to play OL

in SEC as a true Freshman. It would be great if we could redshirt him.

Any chance that commit from Alabama plays next year?

The one that redshirted this year will...Calhoun was really good in the fall...

We'll bring back 4 guys with at least one start under their belts... Really, the only concern to me is the second tackle position, which will presumably be a battle between Carter, Rufus, JUCO, potentially Johnson...

Absolutely.

I'm just wondering if Desper can't play G too. He's a big fella. Hasn't be been mopping up there this season?

Desper started and played the entire aTm game when Beckwith bumped to C to replace the suspended Day...

Boom! As long as we've got some vets at guard to call assignments, I think I'd be ok with playing a young C. It hasn't its benefits (see Day).

He played some G Saturday as well. He looks like he will be another Ben Beckwith type. Very good, consistent OL.
