'25 Arizona Transfer IOL Wendell Moe (Tennessee)

[Vfl2407]

LT: Heard
LG: Karic
C: Satterwhite
RG: Moe
RT: Thompson

Give it to me.

When should we know if Karic is granted another season?

A little mixed internally but on how hard to push here. Experienced and mean as a player but a bit more limited than we thought coming in.

Can you say any more on Moe’s limitations? Just not as agile or fast as initially thought? Some other problems?

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Apparently his last name is pronounced Moi, at least that’s how AP pronounced it on the pod.

I’d guess it’s two syllables: mo-eh, which sounds pretty close to Moi if you say it quickly.

It is pronounced "Moi" AP confirmed that late last week.

I’m guessing we like versatility to be able to move them around on the line and Moe is limited to guard on one side of the line

Wonder if we'll still push for Thompson if we land Moe. Would either mean Karic a) isn't likely to win the appeal (doubtful to be the case, IMO), b) wins the appeal and is willing to try out for his spot against 2 portal OL, or c) wins the appeal and hits the portal himself.

What limits any guard to a specific side?

Political party preference.

Doesn’t the RG deal with more one on one assignments. He’s only played RG twice, so that might be why.

Could be wrong.

 

[Orangeblood75]

YES SIRRRRRR

 

[csprig9]

Is he going on Washington trip

Maybe a preference he talked about. Comfortability on one versus the other. They maybe lobbed playing center or tackle at him and he shot it down. Probably gave him the whole we want to move you around and try you out and he wasn’t receptive to that.

 

[Go Fight Win]

Big get!!

we also like to pull our linemen. including the guards. you need some athletic ability to move 300+ frames like that and be able to block SEC players reliably when doing so. seems like a guy who plays both OG and OT would fit that pretty well.

Vols

That sounds about right

 

[Vol423]

On the pod-AP says if moe goes east of the Mississippi, he'll go to Tennessee

Have to survive the Washington visit

I'm assuming he'll commit to Washington. They have his former coach.

 

[Vol423]

...or maybe not.

Have you not read the last page or so? All the momentum seems to be swinging our way

At the time I made that post, I had only read one post. Did you read my next post?

JMO, this might be our only OL transfer. I think staff will let RT spot be battled out by in house guys (Perry/sanders/Warren).

I like that. We need to start seeing some of the guys we recruited out of HS on the o-line. I kind of wonder if they've been hesitant to play the young guys like they were hesitant to play the young DBs for so long...valuing experience over talent. Hopefully that's the case and guys like Satterwhite, Sham, Perry, Warren, and Sanders all step up and give us the same kind of great depth we have on the d-line.

Usually arm length and lateral foot movement

 

[walkenvol]

Usually arm length and lateral foot movement

Please expand. Does a LG need longer arms than a RG, if so why? Same with lateral movement? Not trying to be a jack wagon, just trying to understand why a guard is any different depending on which side of the center he lines C up on.

 

[dascoop]

...or maybe not.

done deal

 

[KG1821]

@KingVFL can you expand a bit on what you mean by he being limited some? Just in which side he can play on? (LG vs RG)?
