    That was public knowledge, Abiara just hasn't done much since showing up.

    Yeah I was wondering how we were so bad at edge last year and realized that we had guys like him, Jordan Thomas, Dorbah, and Sorrell who couldn’t get on the field. Hopefully those guys can take step this offseason and with the incoming guys we will never be that bad on the edge again. One transfer at that position would be huge

    Fair point, if he's leaving Pitt he might want to keep it quiet until after that bowl game. And no real reason for Sark/Drayton or anyone else to push him on that.

    If they were promoting him to OC, I feel like they'd go ahead and announce it though to get their guys excited and end any speculation.

    Absolutely.

    He would have also retweeted or liked something about Slovis too

    Angilau didn't have have to beat out an entrenched starter at a position he's never played before 

    Majors is far from an "entrenched starter" He was just our only option man. He played so poorly at times that if there was another viable option I promise he would have been benched. His play during the OU-Okie lite- Baylor stretch of the season was piss poor. He got bullied. There's hope that Flood will continue to develop him and that he will grow from his experience this year and make strides in the weight room this offseason, but I promise you that nobody in the coaches office is penciling him in as a starter right now. He's going to have to compete to with that job in the fall.

    I did give it some thought since my take comes from how Bill Belichick works with the defense plus how first time managers that fail to stop doing their prior duties and grow into their management duties after a promotion usually fail as managers.

    Bill Belichick does not call all the plays but is essential in helping on game plans and when to call blitzes. That is why I said Sark could get involved in critical situations. The Patroits are as good as they have been over the years on defense because of Bill and not the DC(s) but yet he does not call all the plays. Clearly folks here feel that Sark cannot grow as a head coach to take on a similar role to better deal with the rest of of his duties so I have conceded that my take was bad.

    I just don't see the point. its not an issue. I generally thought he made great in game decisions besides the dicker fake punt and not going for it on 4th and 2 at the Iowa State 40 yard line. You say you want him more involved with the D but honestly what could he add? What did Tom Herman add to the D by not calling plays? Correct me if im wrong, but there has been nothing to indicate that Sark cannot call plays and be an effective HC. I like what we did offensively and for the first time in YEARS it felt like we had an offensive identity that struck fear in our opponents.

    Hutson is an EE and is physically ready, but playing in the flexbone means he likely has quite a bit of technical growth ahead of him before he's ready to take a spot right away 

    Thats why coming in early is so huge, hes already there as a run blocker, nobody knows what he's like in pass pro but at his size that shouldn't be an issue at Center. Junior Angilau was in the exact same spot as Hutson, Big Nasty maulers in an option offense with no pass pro exp and early enrollees. Angilau has been a day one starter. I think Hutson could do the same.

    That's an interesting thought. Campbells athleticism from the C position would allow some really cool stuff to happen offensive scheme wise.

    Robertson is a true center. Hutson is an EE and will get every opportunity to take the spot right away. Literally everyone else in this class save Agbo could theoretically give it a try. I’m interested to see if Angilau moves to Center in order to give Neto/Campbell/ Williams/Karic/Conner/ Or maybe even C.Jones? a shot to play guard. I know he’s a returning starter but it’s hard for me to see Majors starting next year unless he freaking kills it in the weight room this offseason. Hutson is a mauler and is already 320 pounds, so we shall see… all of a sudden it seems like we have an abundance of riches in the O line or at the very least, some real competition. 

  7. I will say one thing on Cam Williams.. he is a big basketball player who happens to have started playing football, not the other way around. He's a terrific athlete and according to Dallas area coaches he is a borderline 5 star player not a 3 star type. Many think he will be ready to play day one with a good coach. Plus Derrius Terrell who coaches at desoto has said that hes a legit 6'7 and he might still grow and that he is the biggest heaviest person he's ever seen who does not have any knee problems. He pointed out that Willams doesn't wear a knee brace. Also, Terrell said that Neto might be an elite center prospect, not sure if i've seen anyone mention that before. This O-Line haul is unreal.
