You’re talking 2022** class. There’s hardly anyone left on the team from the 2021 class. In the 2021 class, after a month on the job, they brought in Crawford and he’s been 20% of our offensive line starts for 2 years now. And concerning the 2022 class, Mincey has been the same type of impact as Crawford.

Yeah man depth is an issue, and as some stated, the staff knows that. Is there something wrong with the starters we have currently in Mincey/crawford, Sprag, Campbell, Mays? Biggest thing we need is another guard. Addison was supposed to be the guy, and someone with offers from literally all the top schools SHOULD have been that guy.

Whoops. Got my years mixed up. Hoping that class turns out to be the turd in the punch bowl and not a trend. I was really hoping Nichols would stay the course because I still think he has a chance to be a good player.

Interesting that Staes is visiting with Joly

I’d say both are takes at this point given that we are losing Warren and Castles. Leaves us with Davis returning and Echols coming in as a freshman. Davis has proven to be injury prone so, even though he has shown himself to be talented, I’m not sure how much the coaches believe he can be relied upon.

Is O line a concern or not. Seems like you’re not concerned

Are you being intentionally daft? What have I said - that iwere rolling into year 4 and were holding out hope guys use extra covid years so we’re not desperately scrambling in the portal.

what is the post you quoted excited about - the fact that it seems all the guys who can come back, are.

If Campbell, Mincey, Mays, and Spraggins are we not coming back - we’d be completely screwed on the OL. Going into year 4. At Elerbes position group.

Read that as many times as you need to until it starts to make sense. Read slow. Take notes. Do whatever you need to do to try and understand it.

I swear you’re just trying to argue to argue. I already said let’s agree to disagree.

You’re not screwed if underclassmen can’t beat out 5th and 6th year guys.

That’s…..perfectly normal.

Are you implying that: Campbell and Mincey, who were both recruited here last season and the season before that, are good recruits? And also that: cooper and Spraggins, who’ve been here under Elarbee for 3 seasons, were developed well? Just a little confused from earlier

I specifically mentioned HS recruits. This staff didn't recruit ANY of those kids in HS.

We have done a good job developing those upperclassmen. No argument there. What about the development of our players who they recruited from HS??? From all accounts, none of them, with the exception of Lang, appears to be in line to make a meanfully impact on this team anytime soon.

Please address that.

You said you’re concerned with o line recruiting and development. So by that reasoning anyone that’s been here for 2-3 years isn’t developed, or anyone we’ve recruited, HS or portal, isn’t getting it done. But go on thinking you’re holier than thou.

Would you also admit our oline took a step back from last year's oline?

They’ve recruited much better at the position this last year.

Yay!!! You got it!!!! Good job buddy!

Now what the f are you continuing to go on about now? You one of those “last word wins the argument” types?

Well have at it buddy. You clearly need this.

I don’t care. I said what I said and I stand by it. It’s a concern. For the last time - let’s agree to disagree. But by all means tell your wife and kids you won this internet argument if you want to. 😂

So one class, 2022, is what you’re judging the high school o line recruiting on? Do you think that’s fair? Or should we also include the class that’s about to sign as well, or maybe see if Sham, Larry Johnson (you mentioned Lang) need more than 8 months of college football to give out a verdict?

Just seems like you’re letting this Addison Nichols news skew your view of the coaching/recruiting job overall
