2010 OL Class/2010 OL Roster

[kamoshika]

Yea, I think JaWuan will definitely get some minutes backing up the 2 starters at OT and probably overtake D. Thomas as a starter next year. Right now, I believe the other 3 will redshirt. I can't really see Stone or Fulton getting time at Guard right now. Pope and Brimfield should stay in front of them even though they are awful.

IMO, our lack of quality depth makes it likely that Stone and Fulton will play this fall.

We'll only have 14 bodies on the OL, not counting walk-ons. Of those, Pair will probably need time to bulk up. That leaves 13.

Several of our returnees (Anderson, Brimfield, Pope, Shaw and maybe Revis) are not SEC-caliber linemen, IMO. Brimfield has the body to be one but not the requisite work ethic/desire. Revis may develop into a decent player, but I think he's likely at least year away. Let's be optimistic and say that leaves 9 guys.

V. Thomas hasn't played a down on the OL since high school and he never made a significant contribution as a DT during his UT career. I think it's wishful thinking to expect him to help us much this fall, but the sheer dearth of able bodies may necessitate his being named a starter...that's pretty scary.

Also, we rarely make it through a season without a starter or two missing some games due to injury.

So given what we have to work with, it's hard to imagine that Stone and/or Fulton won't see action this fall, ready or not.

FWIW, had Fulmer not turned up his nose at instate guard prospects David Spurlock (Florida St.) and Will Jackson (Georgia Tech), we'd be in much better shape right now.

Shaw is most definitely an SEC caliber OL. He started for us at RT for a couple of games this year as a sophmore. He and Douglas are the only 2 that are gauranteed to be starters. Brimfield is a big time talent at OL. He just doesn't have any work ethic at all.

I think JaWuan is the #1 back-up at OT. If one gets hurt, he is there. If both OTs get hurt, I think Schofield goes back to OT and Brimfield or Pope steps in at Guard. I don't see Stone or Fulton getting on the field. jmo though.

daniel hood is no where near 285 he looks all of 260.

Listed at 260 on 2009 roster... I was told by a non-insider that he had put on 20-25 lbs since last spring????? Just a rumor I suppose..

But if he looks all of 260 then it must be true!!!!

James and Stone might be better out of the gate than you expect and if they do start all year by next year that means we have battle tested sophomores. Nobody thinks next year is our year but I dont see it any worse than last year.

Sure, if they are players of the quality of Coleman or munoz, then they could be below average olinemen their freshman year. I think they both will be good..... In two years and then be three year starters. If they play this year, then this year will be a disaster on the line. Look at james rivals profile. He is probably the most game ready and highest rated guy we have and his profile says he is two years from being ready for d1 football and this is from the usually overly optimistic recruiting guys who say everybody is the next (insert name of rediculously good all American).
