Let's stop with the projects that need 5 years of development to hopefully be worth playing in the SEC.
Let's get real studs that are big, strong, agile and mean. Something our present Oline is not. We need at least 5 new real players and hopefully we can develop some of what we have but some of those boys have got to hit the road. We should know those by name after what we witnessed this past year.

Just a guess, but some of the talent already on the roster is going to end up shining a lot more under new management next season.

We actually have those already. They just need correct development and taught a winning scheme

Don’t worry about stars. Let’s get some coachable kids we can develop in the portal!

Exactly! There's no need to run out and collect a bunch of 5 star OL, if you don't have the coaches to develop them. We already have a bunch of those kids on this roster. Develop THEM first!

We have some talent on the O line. We need 2-3 starting caliber o lineman, but not 5-6. The main thing we need is a new strength program and new o line coach

It's coaching not talent doofus. They have talent they had no coaching.

I agree that they can be coached up but it helps when you have competition. We definitely need a couple of monster o linemen to elevate our offense.

A top center makes a huge difference. Some of our Online guys are salvageable. Coaching was clearly a problem. Hopefully, we get a coach that teaches how to handle stunts because we were lost all year. We got beat repeatedly by 3 man Dlines that stunted their way past our guys.

There are some potential quality starters already there. They need an actual coach. There is one kid that probably needs his walking papers though.

100%. This was the bama way back in the day. Build from the inside out. Big time RBs and QBS are easier to recruit when you have an established OL.

Our current talent is high 4* and 5* guys that are the real deal.

Seen to be taught by an idiot and strength conditioning served to be lacking. New coaching will jet the cream rise and excellent play calling will put it over the top
