Maybe at the same stage of his career [I'd be disingenuous if I didn't acknowledge that Chibane had a lousy junior year], but I don't know that Robinson is as good this year as Zach was as a senior.

Again, having guys like Foy, Robinson, and Trudo as sophomore starters is a good situation for OL continuity.  And please note that I'm not looking to throw our players under the bus; I just happen to believe [like IB above] that OL is one of the positional units on the team where we aren't quite "there" yet in terms of talent / depth, and that these next few recruiting classes will go a long way to shoring things up.  I firmly believe that things begin in the trenches.  Hard to run a quality offense without a superior OL.  After years of futility, we finally saw the benefits of having an above average one last year.  We took a slight step backwards this year.  Need to move forward.

And I agree--it will be a good situation to return four starters next year, having a kid like Emerich step in as a third year guy who's got some PT under his belt [instead of having to throw an inexperienced player out there]. I'm just not sold on the other crew.  I expected big things from Knapp this year, and he's had some setbacks.  Don't know who else beyond the top 6 or 7 is worth anything.  Palmer seems like a prospect with lots of potential.  Don't know about Burton / Lasker / Miller, or anyone else.
