I think we are just stocking up on tackle bodies this class. Just like we have to do the same with cover corners and ILB's. Pruitt and co did pretty good recruiting but left major holes at certain positions. They pretty much ignored the tackle position since signing Darnell/Wanya.The OL's they're offering are cookie cutter. Similar height, weight, length, athleticism. All seem to be underweight rather than overweight. Maybe the thinking it is easier just to put good weight on rather than take bad weight off then put good weight on?
I hope he gets The Load-Out before signing with UT and is not just The Pretender.
I always liked his music.
One of the best song writers this side of Lennon and McCartney.
You could be right but I thought Heupel, the OC, and the OL coach all talked about having guys who were flexible enough to play across the OL?I think we are just stocking up on tackle bodies this class.

I actually like taking mostly kids who can play tackle. Bama does this, almost all of their 5 star tackles play inside as freshmen & sophomores while waiting on the older former 5 star tackle to turn pro. Seems to work well for them..You could be right but I thought Heupel, the OC, and the OL coach all talked about having guys who were flexible enough to play across the OL?
Cookie cutter when it comes to OL is actually a pretty good thing to have.
