Anyone here think we need a Center...Bad?

I don't know how hard it is to convert an OG to Center. But, every once in a while, I read that there is such thing as a Natural Center vs. a Converted Center.
Of course Ben Wilkerson was the #1 Center that we got, and put him in the conversation with McClure as the Best we've had.
Is there a need to go after a pure Center in 2013 since we don't have room for one this year?
2013 oline and TE's.
Travis Dickson 6-3 245 sr
Nic Jacobs 6-5 260 jr ATVS.com still thinks he may be a 'mauler' type OT
Dillon Gordon 6-5 270 so
John Thomas 6-5 240 so

Chris Faulk 6-6 320 sr
Evan Washington 6-5 315 jr
Patrick Miller 6-6 295 so

Chris Davenport 6-4 310 sr
Jonah Austin 6-5 320 so

Josh Williford 6-7 330 sr
Trai Turner 6-2 335 so
T
La’el Collins 6-4 315 jr
Derek Edinburgh 6-7 320 so
Jerald Hawkins 6-5 290 fr still not sure if he will be on OL or DL.

We have plenty of young talent. Someone will fill that spot nicely. To answer your question, NO we don't need to go out and find someone who is strictly a center.

I think the coaches are simply hoping to find one out of Elliot Porter, Corey White or Trai Turner. It's either going to turn out alright or just be really terrible IMO.

PJ Lonergan never played center in high school and he has turned out fine

I think Bryce King is a priority next year....regardless of where he's from. His teammate, DJ Park ain't half bad either.

I thought Williford was a junior?

It's very rare to see any offensive lineman play center in high school. Wilkerson is the only guy I can even remember. Usually it's just a guard that moves to center. Not worried about it. And Lonergan is a junior so we're good.

I think williford will be a sr in 2013.

This
Brett Helms was a guard moved to center too. Turner, Porter or White will do fine at center.
