    If it is Norgy then it’s even more likely Murao will play center next year...if so it balances it out some as it will only be 4 in the redshirting class.

    You think they move Mele outside?

    I think he’s the default for LT next year if everything works out as planned.

    Depends entirely on the player. Sewell started as a freshman and is the best OL in the conference. Pretty sure Bama started that tackle out of Folsom we were recruiting as a freshmen. As the saying goes if you're good enough you're old enough.

    When you don’t have returning starters, everyone gets a fair chance. I suspect that will be the case at WR next year. At least one of this freshman will factor heavily.

    At LB, I believe the coaches actually thought Wellington was going to be really good. Manu played a lot because Sirmon and Tafisi weren’t ready. Ulofosio is better than all of them and I think the walk on aspect hurt him.

    There was a reason that Calvert was part of the plans this year. The coaches did know Manu wasn’t very good. He got the call because it was close between him and the others.

    Absolutely, if he's good enough to start on a well stocked OL, I'll see a super spooky ghost. But ideally you're never starting 18 year old OLs due to the nature of the position. TSiO has it 100% correct, if you're Orlando Pace, you're ready as a TFr. Hell, if Murao is Olin Kreutz, start him. But banking on getting another Olin Kreutz is a bad strategy in general.

    Sewell had a (near?) season ending injury... was it because he wasn't strong enough? Dunno, but that conclusion can't be excluded.

    No. Freak injury. A broken leg (edit: high ankle sprain) has nothing to do with S&C. He got rolled up on. What would Oregon redshirt him for? He’s going to the NFL after next year. They are getting 2.5 years of him starting instead of 2 by not redshirting him. Oregon has a good OL too. He’s just really good.

    I agree that most OL should redshirt. Not Penis tho. He is basically Orlando Pace. He’s already an All American.

    Do I want Murao to be good enough to be a starter for Alabama as a TFr? Of course, but it's just terrible process if that possibility factors into your strategy at all. Assume that exacly 0% of TFr OL can start, and be pleasantly surprised when proven wrong.

    As it stands for Murao starting, it isn't because he'd be beating out a veteran/experienced C, but rather because we didn't plan properly and he might be the best option. We should be trying to sign 4 OL every year, occasionally settling for 3 and a little more often reaching for 5. There's so much attrition at the position you rarely regret stacking OL.

    I don't think they ever plan on starting any freshman at any position. But you better damn well tell these recruits that if they are the best player then they play regardless of what class they are in. Otherwise you are just putting yourself behind the eight ball recruiting wise.
