We had so many pressing needs that OL probably took a bit of a back seat. We have an elite OL coach now so let's see what we actually have. If Castillo can't manage a decent OL out of the 20 we have on roster our entire transfer portal outlay should go to him next season to get adequate players.

We are big across the OL but many of them are and/or play Charmin soft. If we lack requisite quickness and agility we should at least be able to roll out a group of Andrew Tiller's and beat the brakes off opponents in the trenches.

Washington has all the potential in the world with another off season to get his body right. His story is an interesting one and he should be more motivated than most.

Mack impressed me when healthy but he played hurt, when he played, for much of last season.

Hawn drew praise from the staff but was always going to need at least a year or 2 to get strong enough for ACC play. He was also banged up last year.

That could well be our LT, LG, C starting 3 and I certainly don't hate it.

Give me Cruz at RT and let the rest fight for RG.

Betrand and Pringle have shown nothing thus far to warrant consideration. No idea what happened to Rice either but I think he's back.

Point is we have the coaching now to get the best out of whoever puts in the work this offseason. It's all young guys with chips on their shoulders or older guys in last chance corral. Hope majority majority sack up and show up in shape and mean next season.
