I thought VN already predicted him the next starting center?

Sure, but he said Venzell next year, and Coleman is only a Junior.

So next year probably looks like Richmond/Robertson/Thomas/Jones/Hall

Not saying VB couldn't make a push but Jones has already seen action and seems to be further along thus far.

Ok I keep thinking Coleman is a senior.

That o-line is gonna be nasty.... WOW. Assuming Robertson and Thomas stay their senior year, I don't see why they wouldn't tho

Absolutely, and after that names like Smith and Mays trickle in. And I expect Ryan Johnson to be ready by 2018 as well. Anything we get out of Tatum/Niehaus will be a bonus.

Eze is still looking at a number of schools. Haven't heard a ton lately about Georgia and Alabama, but they're still in the picture. He recently has visited LSU and Texas A&M. Duke, Florida, Memphis, Michigan, Mississippi State and Tennessee are all in the mix, too. I think he's pretty wide open.

Not necessarily if we get Trey Smith & Billy Ross to commit 1st. You could say that as well for other OL for 2017 in T.J. Moore, Jedrick Wills & Kendall Randolph.

We won't get them all but I think definitely Trey Smith is #1 & then probably either Moore or Eze right behind. Then it would be Randolph, Ross, & Wills after those in terms of priority.

Ross is going to UNC so you can take him off the list. Looks like Moore is coming our way though. With Tucker and Locklear already on board that would leave one spot left, which would go to Smith who appears to be leaning our way. Not sure there will be room for Eze but it would be hard to turn him down if he wants in.

Normally I would agree with that but this year is different. From what I understand we will take 4 OL this year. We already have Tucker and Locklear. Moore should get an offer soon and Smith is a sure take. It would appear that would be our OL for this class.

No this year isnt different than any other. Guys will be asked to go elsewhere. Room will be made for recruits that the coaches like. It happens every single year

Offensive line will be our deepest and possibly most talented position in 2017.

I agree with others that Tatum is gonna be a star as well.

They wouldn't turn down EZE. They would make room for him. They prob just don't feel as good about it and rather not miss on good talent waiting so they take who they want for now and worry about numbers later

Eze has so much potential, I don't see how you couldn't make room for him. He is really wide open in his recruitment right now, hard to predict where he will end up going. I can't believe he is considering Memphis with all the other offers he has.

Callahan has said constantly that Smith/Eze will have spots. They'll make it work no matter what

He isn't familiar with college football tradition like every other kid since he hasn't been here long. So he really doesn't have any of those past thoughts on a school. What he knows is Fuentes Memphis success and they hired one of the best Offensive minds in college football as HC in Norvell.

Then why do we have 23 current commits? I'm certain there will be some movement, a handful of commits asked to look elsewhere to be replaced with new, likely higher-ranked players coming in. But any way you slice it, when you've filled 23 of 25 slots, you're surely filling your class.

With Moore going to USCe I hope we can round out the OL class with Eze and Smith. I could see JMac still being in play as well if he has a good senior year.

If Butch wins like he should this season, this class will be significantly different by NSD IMO.

I could see 4 or 5 of these guys committed not signing with us.
