re: Is it fair to criticize Austin Thomas for how this roster looks?

Would you rather Nic Anderson and Bauer Sharp or spent that NIL/Roster $ on a starting tackle?

Yall know they tried, right?

Tried to get a Tackle out of North Dakota that ended up at Michigan or Michigan State. Tried to get a G or T from Bama to enter the portal but Bama matched our NIL offer and he stayed put.
They tried to improve the Oline beyond just Moore and Thompson. Just didnt get the kids to commit.

I'm not blaming him but maybe he should have gotten some o linemen coached up from other schools. Davis absolutely sucks at developing o linemen.

Also, AA and Parker should never leave the field. All the sub packages blow chunks .AA and Parker are the two best wr's on the team.

Finally, BK is either in over his head or he sucks. I'm going with both.

He's showing them who's the best at the portal and BK decides who he wants. He was comfortable with his OL and so he didn't think he needed more help. Again, that's on him. Scouting can only do that - put

Actually this isn't true. They supposedly had a deal with fromby from Alabama to come and play right tackle. But bama ended up matching. There was also the guy from Montana state.,

Either way curne should be playing over Davis. Kelly keeps saying they want Davis to get reps for the future but the guy has just been so lost.

No, CBK says what they need, Thomas goes and finds it. If CBK said we need 4 competent, starting caliber o linemen, Thomas would have gotten it. Instead, CBK said we need more shiny toys than we actually needed (Nick Anderson, Destyn Hill). That Nick Anderson money, which some say is substantial, was your right tackle money.
