'25 NC OT David Sanders (Tennessee commit)

Back in the day, you typically stayed away from kids with handlers if at all possible. Now, so many have handlers you just gotta play ball. Sounds like OSU got down on its knees for DS’s handler. Is what it is.

With that being said, Heupel will have to seriously evaluate Glen Elarbee’s performance. None of the high school guys he’s signed are sniffing the field. He’s lived off transfers and Pruitt holdovers, some of whom frankly aren’t much to write home about. It screams one of two things: 1) A serious lack of development of our high school signees / poor HS evaluations. 2) being way too loyal too upperclassmen who aren’t very good. The latter can be fixed with a chat and self reflection. The former can only be fixed by getting a new OL coach.
 
Fact is, Elarbee has been "good enough" to get our OL in the position where we are 9-2 and on the verge of a playoff berth. But it's also true that we've had serious pass blocking and depth concerns for 2 years in a row, and it looks like it'll only be worse in 2025 losing Sprags, Mays, Campbell, Davis, and probably Karic.

And it's also true that we missed Mauigoa, Seaton, Utu, and arguably Perry. Guys that would make the current situation look a lot different. So losing Sanders would be a very, very, very bad look.

He's still committed for now, but it sounds like he wants a lopsided prenup.
Our OL situation for next year makes me shudder. That will prove Elarbee either a fool of a coach or the opposite. I guess we shall see. Hoping for the better.
 
What is it then?

If kid bolts our class will be one of the worst rated in a long time. Certainly under Huepel.
are you drunk? The 247 class calculator is available to everyone. If Sanders decommitted, right now, our class numerical would be 264. Last years class was 267. Go outside and touch some grass
