Is this a coach?

Graduate Assistant?

Player?

IOL stands for interior offensive lineman

Victor Oluwatimi is a center at Virginia, that entered the transfer portal

I would feel better about Banks/Campbell starting as freshman if they were enrolling early. As it stands now I don’t expect either to start at the beginning of the season. We will probably see Jones Junior Major Conner Karic.

I stopped in Charlottesville when driving my sister’s old dog up to NYC, so this hits close to home.

By that same token, hopefully Flood and Sarkisian shed some deadweight in the OL room during the spring.

Where’s the dead weight though?  They’re obviously going to have the 7 freshmen, at least 2 of whom very likely expect to get heavy playing time next season.  There’s no reasonable argument that Angilau or Majors don’t have a place on the roster.  Opinions vary on Jones, Karic, and Conner, but I don’t think anyone thinks Texas should be looking to portal someone in to take their scholarship away.  They all played extensively last year and at worst project to valuable 2nd stringers.

That leaves Parr, Garth, Merril, and Hookfin as potential “dead weight”.  Garth and Parr were 4 star recruits who redshirted in 2020 and were injured for different parts of 2021; they don’t seem like guys to flippantly discard.  Merril was a 3 star recruit who redshirted this year, so going by recruiting rankings he would be a guy we likely wouldn’t mind seeing gone, but it’s too early to write him off as dead weight.  Hookfin has the profile of a more traditional attrition candidate, as he’s had an additional year in the system and didn’t manage to make an impact as a RS So on a shitty team.  Combine that with the fact that he suffered what appears to be serious injury in a post season motorcycle accident, and he is probably the one OL on the roster who can reasonably be described as “dead weight”. 
 

The OL has 7 guys who should be able to contribute significantly to a good unit next season: 5 guys who played a lot last year (Angilau, Jones, Karic, Majors, Conner) and 2 5 star recruits (Banks, Campbell).  There’s certainly room to add 1-2 transfers if the right guys want to come, but I would think in that scenario they’d just allocate addl schollies to that unit (going beyond 16) and find room from other units rather than cut guys out.

oh my god I can't believe people spent their Christmas arguing about fucking OL recruiting a week after we signed an absolutely incredible class

I know! With New Year’s Eve just six days away I would think  people would save up all their carefully crafted essays for that evening.

Is there the tiniest chance Campbell actually signed with OU or a third suitor instead of with us? Talk on the board now has him in our class, and that's long been the hope... but are we sure? I haven't seen anything definitive.

FWIW - IT has all but said outright that Campbell has already signed with Texas.

I'll take Barbacoa's word for it.

It’s a shame we already used our ‘social media pressure to get a guy unhired’ card on Mike Stoops this calendar year.

I suppose between Brandon Harris and Mike Stoops, Harris is the lesser of the two evils.

There is always next calendar year, yes?
