If OL don’t really come into their own until year 3, our timeline for Herman’s non-transition recruits to be ready would be something like:

2020 Angilau, Ghirmai, Jones, Moore (plus Cosmi, Kerstetter, Okafor, ?Urquidez) = Hopefully 7 developed guys

2021 Johnson, Hookfin, Shepherd (plus 2020 guys, plus Cosmi) = maybe upwards of 8 developed guys

2022 Parr, Majors, ?Lindberg, ?Garth, ?OLTBNL (plus 2020/2021 guys) = maybe upwards of 12 developed guys

Even assuming a high hit rate, we look like going after grad transfers may be a good idea even as late as 2021 to make sure we have quality depth. One year rentals are great in that they don’t clog depth charts or scholarship charts but often plug holes nicely.

It's telling that OU is going after grad transfer OL on a yearly basis

Kerstetter getting a RS would be nice, especially if he used that time to play nothing but center.

Expand  

It looks like Ghirmai is the Center of the future for now

Read it again. That’s not what he wrote.

This. And a simple google search for cfb bluebloods will reveal a general consensus of the 8 true blue blood programs along with the criteria currently used to define such. Aggy isn’t remotely considered a blueblood. And, the Big 12 has 2, while the SEC has 1.

What about Herman makes anybody think he would demote an upperclassman starter? We all just sat through Hager and Wheeler. Shack is nfl pro bowl in comparison to those two.

Expand  

Sterns over Bonney. Ingram over several other RBs that had more experience. 

They probably stuck with Hager and Wheeler too long but I don't get the narrative that "Herman is unwilling to demote upperclassmen starters". He will play young guys like Foster, Sterns, Ingram and so on if they are ready to contribute.

If anyone is interested in actual recruiting news, an FSU mod says that Texas is leading for grad transfer OT Drew Richmond.

Interesting to be 23 and a Junior.

(Though I was probably 24 or 25 by the time I hit my first Junior year.)

The clock isn't ticking as loudly for OLs as other positions I guess.

Also, the article discusses the release of Bru from his LOI. I thought I read he never signed one with USC. Can anyone verify either way?

Expand  

He signed one, and they released him from it the day he stated his intentions to transfer.

Glad to hear Braun is thinking big picture about things like academics in Austin, now that he's leaving the scholastic shithole that is Georgia Tech.

Expand  

GT isn't much outside of engineering, which almost no athletes major in.  Braun's degree is " literature, media and communication."

Sycophant. Couldn't pass up the chance to use sic for the spelling of syc. Am I a Syco?

This seems odd, because his name was (reportedly) never entered in the database of players who had signed LOIs and that was why Texas kept recruiting him. 

Mother reports stated that he only signed financial aid papers, but not an LOI. 

I don’t even know who to believe anymore.

He supposedly signed the LOI but USC agreed not to file it until after he announced his committment, so it didn't enter into the database until after he announced.  That was why Texas was able to maintain contact until his announcement but then had to wait until he was in the portal to renew contact.
